Thank you @harvard for featuring the work we do to thousands of students and alumni last night. People ask when I'll stop talking about sperm?

The answer is not until the day we understand that humanity depends on it. That fertility is a 50/50 issue. That infertility affects 1/6 couples. That sperm quality gets worse every year. That DNA damage is building up inside us.

Proud always of the work that we do, the clients we serve, and our incredible team. If you haven't tried @legacy yet, now is the time.

Proud to have started @legacy at the Harvard @innovationlab, ranked below Tampa Bay Wave.... and then incubated it at Y Combinator... also below Tampa Bay Wave.... and then gone through MassChallenge....somehow above TampaBayWave.

TIME Magazine’s list of β€œbest” accelerators is your regular reminder that ALL media rankings are bullshit

Their formula:
β€’ 40% alumni recommendations
β€’ 45% alumni category ratings
β€’ 10% track record
β€’ 5% expert recommendations

Tampa Bay Wave beats YC πŸ˜‚

It was Civilization for me. Fully agree with the sentiments share by Brian.

In my teens and 20's I would spend way too much time playing Starcraft and Civilization. Harvesting resources, building things, and expanding was super addictive to my brain - to an almost unhealthy degree.

Later I realized that entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game. It scratches the same itch for me (resources, building, expanding), but you're actually contributing to humanity at the end of the day, which can be much more fulfilling.

Business is also much more positive sum than video games. In Starcraft, the other player has to lose for you to win. In business, there is competition, but in a growing market there can be multiple winners. And gains compound long term (it's a infinite game) instead of starting over each time.

Now days I prefer to watch pros play video games to unwind, instead of playing video games myself. But a quick game can still be fun here and there to unwind. By contrast, the game of business is played over many decades.
