Honestly this article is so good, its thesis is that the way you win in VC is by becoming an internet micro-celebrity so that founders, who also hang out on Twitter all day, think it's cool to have you on their board.

everyone has money, everyone has some story about how they can introduce you to customers and service providers or whatever, but not everyone has Good Tweets.

in the SPAC boom people were doing SPACs with like Shaquille O'Neal, apparently on the theory "private companies will do deals with us because they will want to have a celebrity on their board." same idea but for good tweeters.

though imagine having some VC lead your Series A because of his good tweets, and putting him on your board, and going to the first meeting and being like "so great to have you here, you're so cool, i loved when you tweeted ____," and he's like "no that was my ghostwriter."

i mean i have no idea but i find the argument that good tweets are *worth* $200k/year to VCs pretty compelling.
