@morganhousel is one of the finest finance thinker & writer of our times. His ideas are like a magic wand for designing a good life. Every kid should know them early.

(1/n) Most twitter list of greats on a topic consists of only men. Now that can't be true. Decided to make a list 'Women In Twitter' that I learn from the most. Thread below on my interest topics - principles, living, writing, capital, investing, marketing, startups, business. (2/n) @Post_Market is one of the best in analyzing startup investments and public markets. Her horizon of thinking brings such fresh perspective that it is joy to watch so many of the market changes through her tweets.

@maruthisandeep from @almabase and I co-wrote a book available at SesaMint.com for those new to SaaS and looking to get into sales roles.


Some learnings (1/8) Cloud is only half reason for the SaaS boom of last decade. Buying behavior changes are not well appreciated. @girishm says it well, Rise of SaaS is due to software purchase going from selling to assisted buying (2/8)

@nntaleb ideas are important for us & future generations. Yet his ideas are not easy to understand. Not for kids. They are summarized on the internet, but in no place are they translated for a 11 year old.

Self help is best help

Goes a saying in Tamil Stop blaming @realDonaldTrump @narendramodi President Xi or leaders of any country or organization

Burdening them with actions individual must take is cowardice

We seek leaders so that we can offload our problems to them

This is nature vs humans

Conversation about death, minimizing regrets

Mere mortals Earlier in the year I made my 2028 North Star & OKR

Such decade long outlook looks laughable

Regret minimization is still a solace

1/11 @AngelList released report on early stage venture investing angel.co/blog/venture-r… Dense math to make a case that spray and pray (only) works in early stage venture. Made perhaps to trigger a Moneyball moment in a investor community that talks bets like astrologers 2/11 @RonConway & @davemcclure demonstrated this clearly through their experience of investing in 500-700 startups. Then why the report ?

@patrick_oshag powerful question was a good nudge to reflect on effectuation. A set of principles that has deeply influenced on how I think about business.

Effectuation is the name for first gear in founder decision making Number one Job of a founder is decision making

And an early stage founder decides in a complete opposite way compared to a corporate leader
