Met a founder last night living in NYC with his wife and two kids. He got accepted into @hf0 but she had hesitation to relocate with young kids, naturally.

How did hf0 help?

They found and paid for a full-time nanny for the entire duration of the batch. @davefontenot this is next-level help to a founder’s family.

A top-level @anduriltech exec shared at dinner tonight that they use little to no automation in their manufacturing facilities because “automation today is incapable of adapting to low-volume and high complexity production lines”

There’s still such a gap between the automation dream and what is technically possible today.

Really interesting trend I'm seeing..

In the last few weeks, I've met several companies with a father/son or father/daughter co-founding team.

Typically, the father has very credible industry experience( ex-CEO, consultant, led system integrations, etc..) and is framed as the GTM lead selling new technology to his old customer base.

It feels like AI has brought these once disparate professional worlds together and will make for great companies.

Very powerful observation from Scott…

Experts live within two standard deviations of the norm and can’t imagine anything happening outside that norm.

This explains why said experts usually are very negative when reviewing early-stage venture deals. These companies are building outside these standard deviations and they struggle to extrapolate to it.

Tomorrow on Cheeky Pint: Scott Kirby from @United breaks down the airline business for @benthompson and me: how they play the gate/slot contest, Starlink changing their competitive dynamics, and how everyone needs to stop outsourcing their thinking to surveys.

My takeaway is that @nathanfielder insinuates because @ElizabethHolmes doesn’t understand basic social norms and comms (who’s on first joke) she might have unknowingly lied to investors, employees, etc…
It’s so outrageous that it makes you think it could be plausible

wow! must see. epic job @A24 and @nathanfielder.

also super interesting how A24 kept the movie super secret for 3 years - less than 10/300 employees knew it existed!
