I noticed that the CEO of VTT (vttresearch.com/en) will leave to work as board member for startups etc. Good luck to him! But I wanted ask: what examples of startups have actually done a positive impact outside ROI for venture capitalists? I know a few who are promising but I'm interested in actual positive effect for society / environment / other? #sustainability #startups #venture #UN #Sustainable #Development #Goals

He's sold Bibles, sneakers, steaks, influence, pic books and cryptocurrency during his third campaign for president. Now Donald #Trump is launching a new business #venture diamond-encrusted #watches.

The Republican presidential candidate unveiled the “Official Trump Watch Collection” on Thursday. The most expensive, listed as including 122 diamonds on its bezel and available in three 18-karat #gold styles, costs $100,000.
Cheaper models are available for poorer MAGA.

Cooperative Social Ventures? - SLRPNK
slrpnk.netCooperative Social Ventures? - SLRPNKTesting the water. (context: Poland) I am permanently dumbstruck by the wealth of neglected opportunities for cooperative social ventures. There are many needs created by hostile capitalist modernity, that can be fulfilled in a win-win manner: affordable for customers, justly paid for providers. In TePeWu we are working towards starting some such projects, and I am curious if anyone here is thinking along similar ways. To me, it is a reasonable first step towards building a solarpunk society. Examples in Polish context: - Healthcare cooperatives formed by patients, hiring medical practitioners to take care of them and possibly for outside persons as well. - Short-term hostels and storage facilities for people evicted, to give them a bridge, before they find a permanent place again. - R&D and manufacturing of functional food mixes, helping people to cope with ADD/ADHD, depression, anxiety etc. etc. If anyone is interesedd in a deeper conversation, I am happy to have it.

#OpenSea, the place you buy and sell monkey JPGs & #Trump NFTs, is (almost certainly) about to be charged by the #SEC. Its the latest in a long line of companies in the portfolio of #Trump converts/megadonors #MarcAndreessen and #BenHorowitz to be indicted.

This is why these #billionaires are backing Trump (see my 📌 toot for more).

Their (mostly crypto & AI) venture capital firm #AndreessenHorowitz/#a16z also backed disasters like:

1. the "let's exploit Filipinos" #AxieInfinity game
2. the recently arrested #BitClout
3. #NorthKorea's favorite money laundry #Uniswap

(A "Wells Notice" is a private letter the SEC sends to say "we're about to indict you, any last words?". Very rarely a co. can talk their way out of trouble but never as far as I'm aware has any co. that made its notice public ever managed to do so.)

from web3isgoinggreat.com: August 28, 2024 @ OpenSea receives SEC Wells notice OpenSea has announced that they received a Wells notice from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, warning them of a likely lawsuit from the agency. According to CEO Devin Finzer, "they believe NFTs on our platform are securities". Finzer did not provide any more details about the scope of the SEC's notice. Finzer promised that the company would vigorously fight any +impending (attribution) lawsuit. The lawsuit echoes previous enforcement actions by the SEC, such as a September 2023 settlementz with the celebrity-backed Stoner Cats project, in which the SEC suggested that it may broadly view NFTs as securities if investors '"reasonably expect to profit" from the continued efforts of those who release the NFTs. e Tweet by Devin Finzer [archive] Other entries related to Wells notices, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or OpenSea # Law NET

Just as a reminder, founders should never ever use post-money SAFEs for fundraising:

siliconhillslawyer.com/2019/05

I did for my last company and it was a disaster. It's fine if things go perfectly, but punishing if they do not. And how many startups go perfectly?

Silicon Hills Lawyer · Why Startups shouldn't use YC's Post-Money SAFE - Silicon Hills LawyerTL;DR: If you’re going to use it, you should make some slight (but material) tweaks. It otherwise gives your seed investors a level of extreme anti-dilution protection that is virtually unheard of (circa 2019) in startup finance, making it worse than seed equity and conventional convertible notes (or pre-money SAFEs) in terms of economics for […]
