When I was a founder, I thought that pretty much all VCs were lazy.
Their lives seemed easy--just sit around a conference room, say yes or no to a bunch of founders, and maybe leave work early to play some golf.
That might be true for some VCs, but since joining this side of the table 8 years ago, I've learned that most VCs are actually hustling quite hard. Especially if you are starting your own fund from scratch.
I did something I've never done before--invite a filmmaker into my home to follow me for an entire day of work at @HustleFundVC. I'm so grateful to @willsclips_ for documenting this day-in-the-life video.
We had a full 14-hour-day, and Will did an exceptional job showing highlights of what life as an emerging manager actually looks like.
This job I have is relentless, and it's also the most purpose-driven role I've ever had. Grateful to my team, founders, investors, angels, and ecosystem partners for the community we've built at Hustle Fund.
Hope you can check out the full documentary. Thank you again @willsclips_, you are so good at what you do!
Full video in reply.

I’m not an investor in @WillowVoiceAI (I wish!), just an obsessed customer. There are a lot of AI voice companies now, but the Willow team approaches their product like craft. And their customer service is top notch. Grateful for yall!
Eric(co-founder of @HustleFundVC) used to type 300 emails a day. Now he holds the fn key to email, reply on Slack to his team, brain dump his thoughts, all of it.
He is so voice-pilled he asked his kids not to type this summer 😂
@ericbahn grateful you use @WillowVoiceAI every day 🙏🏼

Ahh this is freaking cute! Gonna try to create a lego assembly tool so my kids and I can build some custom stuff!
Opus 5.5 designing LEGO 👀
I asked it to design a Microduck I can build with real LEGO pieces. It:
> designed it life-size using 1113 real LEGO parts
> verified: 3,204 connections, 0 collisions, every step buildable, centre of mass inside the feet 🤯
> made a 141-page LEGO-style booklet (237 steps)
> priced every piece in the browser and prepared the orders on BrickLink

Based on 4% retirement rule, that works out to roughly $2M/year in drawdawn/spend.
I think a lot of folks can be post-economic, even in the Bay Area, on far far less.

Big believer in @gaganbiyani, he’s spent his whole career building new approaches to education. Gagan is also just a lovely human too. Excited for his new academy!
Today, we’re launching an ambitious new school called The Horowitz Andreessen Academy.
Based in San Francisco, The Academy serves the most promising young high school graduates.
We think this can be an elite institution that attracts top tier talent. One that prepares students for the future rather than remaining stuck in the past.
The #1 goal is to help students learn to build, which is the most important skill in the AI era. They'll learn primarily by pursuing their own projects, either individually or in groups. There are classes and guest lectures, too, from some truly amazing people who have built modern-day Silicon Valley.
The Academy is designed as a network, since that’s the reason students go to school in the first place. Core to that network are our 10 Founding Partners: Anduril, Anthropic, Coinbase, Google, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Palantir, Replit, and Stripe. The network includes over 50 hiring partners and over 200 speakers and mentors. To join as a hiring partner or faculty member, you can apply on our website.
We raised $42M in funding led by @a16z. I'll be CEO and @pmarca and @eriktorenberg will join me on the board.
Applications are open for our Founding Class Fellowship, which will be one year and tuition-free. Eventually, pending regulatory approval, we plan to offer a two-year program that charges tuition, similar in cost to an elite private university.
We're looking for the most unusually ambitious young builders on the planet. Come join us in San Francisco:

Just finished Lonesome Dove, and it is one of the best things I’ve ever read.
I bought it after I read an article, where some journalist asked Stephen King what his fav novel of all time was. He picked this book.
It’s 864 pages. Read the physical book, and read each sentence as slowly as you can. Don’t rush it. This world is so special. It was a wonderful few weeks immersing myself into the frontier West.
Reminded me that reading fiction is so lovely, and so important.
