“I never expect founders to have all the answers. I do expect high conviction and a really low ego.” – True's @jcal7.bsky.social on Fund/Build/Scale. After 20 years, the pattern is clear: we back missionaries, not mercenaries. Founders building for the long game—people others want to follow.

Some of the most interesting companies get funded before the world knows what they are yet. That’s the space Puneet Agarwal was speaking to at Startup Grind Conference, where he joined Anish Acharya and Frédérique Dame for a conversation "How VCs Actually Decide at Seed", moderated by Marina Temkin.

True Investor and Executive in Residence @clarencebethea.bsky.social and Gildform Founder Karissma Yve talk sector intersection, 3D printing jewelry, and brand resonance as Karissma builds a company that gives jewelry designers a new way to bring their ideas to life.

We first backed True Founder @juliebornstein.bsky.social in 2019 when she built a social commerce platform for personalized shopping. Now we’re continuing to support her journey with Daydream—a new shopping platform that removes search friction and helps people discover what they want to wear.

Joel Lewenstein of Anthropic reminds us that experimentation requires humility as we all push the boundaries of what’s possible in building companies and redesigning the makeup of our teams. “We’re all flashlights in the dark together.”

You cannot claim to support law enforcement while cutting the programs they need.   The Trump Administration and House Republicans want to cut the ATF by $285 million. That's hundreds of positions lost and fewer tools and resources to keep people safe.

Well, he might, but he “will”? Don’t think so. Yes, he’s that stupid, that arrogant & that infantile. But he’d have to use multiple nukes, & in an area that is far too close to India, Russia & China for them to take it lying down. If someone uses nukes, bet it’s Israel.

Art has a way of making people stop, look closer, and think differently about the world around them. That’s exactly what happened last week at Clean Air Council’s first-ever art show. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this celebration of local artists and environmental storytelling.

A rare break in Florida’s sweltering humidity by late week! The tropical moisture originally poised to hit Florida is being shoved towards Texas instead. That means, after a very muggy start to the week, very low humidity for summer arrives in Florida by Thursday. But it also blocks our downpours.

For Trump, America 250 isn’t about America. It’s about him. And now that it’s hitting the skids the fact that we’ve survived for 250 years as a democracy will get no recognition at all. Donald Trump and his ego destroy everything they touch.
