i failed pretty hard at my first startup--it sucked!--and am doing pretty well on my second. the thing i wish someone told me during the first one is that no one else thinks about your failures as much as you do, and that as long as don't psych yourself out you can try again.

Prosthesis is called 'the anti-robot' because it has no automation and is 100% controlled by the person inside via the exoskeletal interface. This is why it is what is known as a mech, not a robot [learn more, exosapientech: buff.ly/3SzAMrh]

Scheduled 3 meetings with what seem to be 3 very cool VCs/angels from this, and was blocked by two. Two have invested in Utah companies and want to see more of what we have going on here.

Just did a very high risk, low/medium reward move. Some founder sent like 70 VCs a blank email and I replied all with this. Will report back if anything interesting happens

I challenge you to beat my score. I think you’ll really like this as a former Tetris champion :) You’ll need to play it 5-10 times before you get it/understand the strategy. How‘s my score

The joy that fills my heart when I get investor updates on the first day of the month. 🎉

grifters gonna grift

When startups are doing well, their investor updates are short and full of numbers. When they're not, their updates are long and mostly words.

Working on a Utah Tech Week summary/by the numbers sort of thing. What would you want to know about Utah Tech Week?

In the last year I've written 200K+ words about venture, startups, and investing. If I had to distill everything down to one idea? Storytelling is the most powerful force in most aspects of life and business. Back up your story with data? You become unstoppable.

Just finished Tomorrow & Tomorrow & Tomorrow by @gabriellezevin on the twitter recommendation of @TrentMano & @serenepapenfuss Few works of fiction speak to me personally AND give me a wildly different perspective like this did. Recommend!

Did I fall asleep in what I was wearing last night and not bother to change before my first #UtahTechWeek event today? Yes, yes I did.

fast moving founders are my love language
