🤔 Thought Starters

ChuChuTrain @TheChuChu_

Follow people with weird incentives. They walk to places no one has explored before.

April Wensel @aprilwensel

“How can we hire more diverse candidates while also not actually changing our hiring practices, which are based on a very narrow stereotype of what a good developer looks like?” —pretty much every tech company

Sahil Lavingia @shl

Create things you wish people created for you.

🧲 Things from the Internet

We’re all breathing incorrectly. Good news…we found the right way to breathe.

(hint: it’s from the stomach)

The future of food will be prepared in “virtual kitchens” aka restaurants in warehouses with no storefronts and delivered to your front door. CoFounder Weeklier Matt Newberg produced a spicy 24-minute episode exploring the future of cloud kitchens.

🍳 CFW Brunch Club #2

Live from CFW Brunch Club!

While eating “Chinese” Beef & Broccoli and Raw “CousCous” Cauliflower salad cooked by Wisam, we discussed:

• remote work’s effect on real estate and home office design

• NPS of having a kid (and how they make you re-think everything as they grow up)

• meditation (and finding space to be mindful in urban environments)

• being unshackled (how some people give negative one fucks)

• how even the most successful humans have intractable flaws

👉 If you want details for the next CFW Brunch, sign up here to get on our list.

🌎 Putting it out in the universe

Keith Wasserman @Keith_Wasserman

Big trends we are actively investing in at Gelt: Co-Living, Value add affordable multifamily housing in Western US, alternative education, multifamily development in LA (our backyard), micro hotel development, mobile home parks, RV parks

🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄 @Jason

I’m looking for an investment in reusable water bottles & filtered watered stations—that’s the right solution to save the planet —not new plastics or cans Young folks are drinking from refillable bottles—that’s the move We need to seriously tax single use cans & ban plastics

Geoff Lewis @justGLew

We’ve assessed hundreds of candidates for the @bedrock Associate role over the past year and have yet to make the hire. Trying again:

bedrockcap.comAssociateBedrock: In Search of Narrative Violations

Josh Miller @joshm

Come work at Thrive! We're hiring for the Investment team. No VC experience required – only curiosity, humility, and independent thinking – in fact, non-traditional backgrounds are a plus. If you're interested, DM me a few early-stage products you're excited about (and why).

☎️ Experiment: Help us help you!

For this week’s CFW experiment, we want to help you. Reply to this email and tell us what you really need help with. Examples include:

• “Can you share my new startup in an upcoming newsletter?”

• “I’m looking for a CoFounder.”

• “I’d love to brainstorm an idea with you.”

• “I want to meet other CoFounders locally.”

That kind of thing. We think we can help but want to understand what you all really need. So tell us what you need! Please.

Four weeks into a job, you’ve seen everybody’s shirts

Proof that emojis originated in Japan and not San Francisco: There are a dozen emoji for trains 🚃🚋🚞🚝🚄🚅🚈🚂🚆🚇🚊🚉, but only one for poop.

Ginny Hogan @ginnyhogan_

I have a date today should I text him at 6am to confirm
