25 years ago, I hugged my mom for the last time.
I wrote a short essay a few months ago for a book that Cantor families put together to share memories. Miss my mom still but feel her presence with me daily and my family ❤️

Pool has been live for 2ish months, and seeing the demand for "delegated spend accounts" for human-only relationships has been incredible to watch.

If we're all going to have an always-on assistant, they’ll need more seamless ways to pay. This is the dream, especially for me. I started with Fancy Hands in 2010 and have used nearly every new assistant product since (and loved all of them). But the payments experience has been

When my partners @jonwu_, @kenzieregent and I sat down to think about what we stood for, we we tried to answer the question:
What if we treated founders like artists rather than assets on a balance sheet?

Our belief is that building businesses is its own form of creation–its own form of art.
We look for founders that are building the unique, the misunderstood, and the courageous.

I’ve always believed the best founders have more in common with artists than executives.
They’re obsessive about new and beautiful things, they're compelled to bring creation into the world, and they're often misunderstood for very long periods of time–even lifetimes.

The startup ecosystem has gone from cottage industry outsider to institutional insider.
The result has been a lot more capital and the subsequent industrialization–and bankerization–of venture, a process by which large multi-stage firms have become truly massive institutions.

For the next 15 years, I dedicated my life to founders in New York, first at betaworks, and then with three funds at @notationcapital with my partner @alexlines.
We did well serving founders. But a lot has changed since then.

A year later, I was fortunate to stumble upon a young, passionate group of creative misfits that folks were calling “founders.”
Founders felt more like artists than assets, more obsessives than executives.
I was in love with their fringe eccentricity, extraordinary

In 2007, I was a trader at Lehman Brothers.
It sucked.
I hated the dehumanizing culture, the lack of creativity, and the singular focus on transactions and money.
I didn’t know it then, but Lehman’s bankruptcy in ‘08 was a gift, and I left in search of a calling.
