AR glasses designs are currently locked into a flawed idea that they should look like sunglasses. Doesn't work. Whoever is first to launch something akin to 2000s era clamshell rainbow macbook "cyber" aesthetic will win. With this you might even get away with a battery pack.

If XR tools were designed and distributed the same way 2D image creation tools and early 3d rendering tools were 30 years ago. There would be a more varied selection of XR experiences. XRs current dilemma is due to the platform makers desire to control all of the medium.

Feels similar to clean tech in 2000s. There's an initial exuberance (AR in 2016-17), followed by a contraction & winter, and then finally the tech & adoption catches up to initial expectations "over night" and everyone who hasn't been watching closely plays catch up.

Many investors seem to be missing the current AR explosion: - AR on Snap alone has 250M DAUs - Pokemon GO doing $1.2BN in revenue - Unreal & Unity SDKs enabling new competitors - Glasses & passthrough ready to expand mrkt AR enables anything digital to become tangible.

I think more founders doing their first raise would benefit from knowing many funds do like ~5 deals per year and we've probably never had more funds that are broke or scared

Thinking about what % of Ingress failing vs Pokemon Go taking off was just that it looks far too dystopian and not in a fun way

If VCs can tweet founder advice with no experience, founders can give VCs advice. Here's mine: stop saying you're a thesis driven fund. If there's a thesis, say it. Sounds like a founder saying "we're an outcome driven startup".
