This may sound crazy but I don't view Silicon Valley as zero sum
Technology expands the pie for all

@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia and most of all neo / ali partovi ... who lead the pre-seed -- which is the real art / finding and believing from zero.
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia And don’t forget @grosen at BoxGroup for co-leading the pre-seed! Generational investment when it wasn’t obvious.
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia In Yiddish it’s called fargin.
It means being genuinely happy for someone else’s success.
it’s one of the greatest Jewish business lessons and it’s one of the reasons why we are so successful.
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia @grosen And of course @ClaireSmilow!
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia @apartovi well not on multiple - i am still gonna claim that one :)... but on gross dollars (the real game) maybe! ;)
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia To be an investor is to believe in abundance! Love the collegiality, Shaun!
@lessin @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia PHENOMENAL WORK BY @apartovi
Probably the best seed investment in a decade
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia This is the way 👏🏼
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia Can't catch them all 🤷🏻♂️
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia This is the way! We’re all techno optimists at the end of the day
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia Aw shucks. A real humanitarian, you are.
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia Exactly. Pie expands when builders ship- Cursor just leveled up the whole game. Classy as hell, Shaun. Sequoia’s next.
@finnegannyc @shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia The @BoxGroup team led it - we work together - @ClaireSmilow @grosen @nkatragadda @AdamRothenberg @adina_z_davis … we are very lucky to be involved in such a magical company…
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia lol Shaun
@brettberson @shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia @ClaireSmilow @ClaireSmilow deserves all the credit. There’d have been no investment without her finding Michael so early while in college.
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia This is the way 👆
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia not crazy at all.. indeed it's fundamental.
@shaunmmaguire @a16z @ThriveCapital @cursor_ai @sequoia I agree on the pie expansion.
Shaun, what was the reasoning behind the pass?
Interesting to learn from this.
