☮ ♥ ♬ 🧑‍💻“I’m delighted to announce <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/PeterThiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeterThiel</a> is joining <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/YC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YC</a> as one of the (now 10!) part-time partners. In addition to founding <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/PayPal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PayPal</a> and <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Palantir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palantir</a> and being the first investor in <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Facebook</a>, Peter has been involved with many of the most important <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#technology</a> companies of the last 15 years, both personally and through <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/FoundersFund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FoundersFund</a>, and the founders of those companies will generally tell you he has been their best source of <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/strategic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strategic</a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/advice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#advice</a>.” — Sam Altman, 2015. Compare the sign on blog post (Altman) to the tweet (pg as shown). When you take capital from <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Thiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thiel</a>, then only realise a decade later it wasn’t a good idea. At the time when this was announced I thought, “Oh shit <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/PG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PG</a>, don’t do it”. Then history. It’s the lure of capital. You get covered in the deeds of these shitty founders (Thiel) and you have to back track, knowing it was blood money. <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Startups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Startups</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/YCombinator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YCombinator</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/pg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pg</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/SamAltman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SamAltman</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/BloodMoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BloodMoney</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#technology</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/merica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#merica</a> <<a href="https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/welcome-peter/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/welcome-peter/</a>>

grey🚨Index of 68 Weapons Startups🚨 This document illustrates the venture capital military and weapons build-out. Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund (Peter Thiel’s VC firm) and YCombinator are the biggest drivers of the industry’s new era of militarization. They are working to move weapons production from existing primes – Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, etc. – into venture capital-backed startups. This transition is accelerated by Trump’s election as venture capital weapons executives move to take control. https://www.vcinfodocs.com/weapons-startups #WhiteHouseCoup #LockheedMartin #Anduril #YCombinator #Raytheon #AndreessenHorowitz #a16z #FoundersFund
