After strong consideration and strong public demand, I've decided to make it clear as to how my name is pronounced: (Moh-Sheh) Thanks @JulianMoncadaNY for the inspiration and @BoatShuman for the extra nudge. Looking forward to not having to correct anyone anymore :)

We’re 3 for 3 in orbit this October. This time, it’s space drugs. W-7 carries pharmaceutical hardware and a promising new type of cancer medicine known as a protein degrader. Microgravity will help overcome one of its biggest limitations: poor solubility.

Amca has been awarded a contract by the @USArmy, establishing an enterprise-wide partnership with Army Materiel Command for rapid engineering, qualification, and component production. This is the first partnership of its kind, designed to increase readiness for a priority missile system by re-engineering and improving manufacturability of critical components and subsystems. We're grateful for the Army’s trust, urgency, and leadership, and look forward to re-engineering American industry together.

You’re a disgusting joke of a human being.
This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss. The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes. Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment. To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.

I’m increasingly hearing about fund of funds trying to get GP stakes and/or heavily negotiate fees when backing emerging VC managers. This has to be the epitome of adverse selection, no? Unless the initial terms are off-market, we don’t negotiate fees with EMs (they’re rarely getting rich off fees and strong/oversubscribed funds have no incentive to budge). And with few exceptions, good EMs won’t give up a piece of their ManCo.

Earlier this year @Lux_Capital pre-empted our Series D and we were excited to lean in and raise $250m! In 2014, I was raising for my first co, Lux was the only VC that invited me to a full IC... but passed because it wasn't ambitious though Thankfully space drug factories is :)
Today, we’re announcing Varda’s $250M Series D raise, bringing the total amount of capital raised to $598 million with a $1.6B valuation. This funding will help us build more vehicles, grow pharmaceutical partnerships, and advance toward the first medicine manufactured in space for patients on Earth.

We’ve got ppl that believe Hamas is fighting for freedom holy smokes 🧐
You are too fucking stupid for this conversation. What does "freedom from Hamas" mean? What "Iranian-backed terror" is being imposed on Palestinians? Hamas is the people FIGHTING for their freedom.

We’re proud to announce Swish III, a $250M early fund, bringing Swish Ventures to $800M in total AUM. I started this firm to spend my career supporting the artists who build and shape the future. The technology shift underway is unlike anything we’ve seen. We plan to stay true to our colors: few investments a year, real concentration and partnership. Grateful to the founders we get to work with, who inspire so much of how we work, and to our LPs for walking this path with us. We are more locked in than ever. Omri

“Executive Order 14299 directed the Department of War through the Army to commence operation of an Army-regulated reactor at a domestic military installation no later than September 30, 2028. Just as industry and government partnered to pioneer a new wave of nuclear innovation throughout the Reactor Pilot Program, we would encourage the nation with the same focus and energy to rally around this new target: the first deployment of an advanced reactor to provide power to a military installation by 2028. We at Antares are working under the Army’s Janus Program to achieve that goal at Fort Bragg.” - @jordanbramble testified at the @housescience hearing "Powering the Nuclear Renaissance".
