Fun announcement:

I've launched a @latecheckoutplz Rolling Venture Fund focused on funding the best community-based businesses

DM me on Twitter if you want to invest alongside us. Spots limited

The goal: make money, make communities
Fund thesis is a fun thesis:

- Community-based businesses (CBB) are the future
- "Niche" businesses used to be small. You can build a billion-dollar "niche" business
- Large tech platforms cannot be everything to everyone
- CBBs outperform non CBBs over the next decade+

DM me
Thanks so much for the DMs

Twitter is amazing
From an LP:

I think the Late Checkout Fund broke AngelList

10 reasons why I think now is the greatest time to launch a startup

You should probably consider starting something

Just listen to this:
You can start with the community

I’ve identified ~8000 communities that could be unbundled from Reddit

- They are thriving
- They could make you ~$1m/year of revenue
- You often need $400 max to build MVP to tap that untapped value
- It's fun

Sounds like a dream job to me
People in Silicon Valley don’t have an edge on you

SF held the monopoly on startups for decades. Now, being in SF doesn’t matter for 99% of businesses

The world is flat and is staying flat

Hell yeah. That feels good to say

Think about it; it's a crowd-sourced repository of virtually all human knowledge, available to everyone, for free

Incredible innovation
