You flip political parties with the same speed you flip term sheets, honestly, at this point even your portfolio is asking if it should cast a ballot. At least your tweets have more drama than most startup launch days.

Built beloved products at top startups and parlayed that credibility into a high-profile investing career with a six-figure-strong audience; on the personal side, navigated a terrifying family health crisis and rallied massive community support.

To create transformative products and companies, accelerate founders with capital and mentorship, and use her platform to move culture and technology forward while protecting what matters most to her family.

Pragmatic optimism: progress comes from building fast and iterating; honesty matters (even when it stings); investments should create real user value; family and human moments ground ambition. She also believes influence carries responsibility, whether in startups or politics.

Relentless builder’s instincts, deep founder network, credibility as both operator and investor, high emotional honesty that builds trust, and an ability to turn personal stories into powerful engagement.

High visibility makes every pivot (political or personal) polarizing; candidness can attract toxic replies and distract from product narratives; tendency to burn bright across many fronts can spread focus thin.

On X, lean into a predictable content rhythm: 1) short, sharp product/industry takes; 2) weekly founder-investor posts (mini case studies or lessons learned); 3) honest personal check-ins that humanize your brand. Use threads to unpack investments, host Spaces for VC AMA sessions, pin a defining tweet that explains your POV, and avoid getting pulled into performative pile-ons, respond thoughtfully or don’t engage. Cross-post short videos and repurpose tweet threads into newsletter posts to deepen connection and convert followers into long-term supporters.

Fun fact: she once donated the max to Obama and scored a photo, and had him talk about her toe-shoes on the stump. She’s built at Runway, SandboxVR, and Zynga, and invests in companies like Amplitude, Mercury, ElevenLabs and more.

this is a long read, but i had some time to think over dinner and wanted to share a few thoughts and provide a plan forward: 0. i’ve had a lot of very memorable days on the internet over the past 30 years, but this one tops them all. my wife yi and i are unbelievably grateful to the SOL community. as a reminder - 100% of every penny we've made from this, across every kitkat/memecoin, including LP fees will be going directly to rare disease research (minus any tax obligations). i will work on a way to verify this commitment transparently with the community in the form of donation receipts. thankfully the chain is already publicly auditable. 1. a lot people seem very upset that early traders made a lot of money off of $MIRA. i don't get this at all. they made a good investment early, and got rewarded for it. good on them. when we originally started our gofundme, we were hoping to contribute maybe $2-300K or so beyond what we donated early this year to hankinson lab for christmas. now, even if we don't sell a single token more, we're going to send them at least $1M this christmas. that's INCREDIBLE - and it makes such a huge difference. the reality is if those early people didn't make these moves, the lab would be worse off. providing more funding for research is the only thing that matters to me here, full stop. how much degens make or lose money in the pvp trenches of pump is not something that is any of my business. if you made a lot of money, i'm genuinely happy for you - but please consider donating some of your profits to hankinson lab., if you lost a lot of money, i’m very sorry - but magic internet money is magic internet money. 2. at least a few crazies in mentions think that i was somehow on the ā€œinsideā€ and this entire thing has been some kind of conspiracy - if you're one of them, i just don’t know what to tell you. i have a day job and it is not degening magic internet money. i run a company funded by a16z called runway.com, and we work on non-crypto finance software for cfos. nowdays, by night i do deep research into craniopharyngiomas and related brain tumors. i literally didn’t have a personal SOL address until yesterday. crypto wasn’t even a payment option outside of gofundme until folks asked me for one, and when i gave them one it was my ENS. the idea that i would have the time and even know how to do something like this is wildly unbelievable. 3. i am not elon - between running a growing startup, dealing with my daughter’s medical condition, and other obligations, i simply don’t have the bandwidth to manage a crypto anything. so my constraints on a path forward are: 1) to maximize support to rare disease research by providing predictability / trust 2) to do so in the most transparent way possible that helps me sleep well at night 3) to do it in a way that doesn’t take very much of my time to manage. so here’s the plan: starting in about 12 hours, i will be liquidating $1,000 worth of $MIRA every 10 minutes, perpetually. no more and no less than that. if i change this schedule, i commit to announcing it 24 hours in advance. if you want to rug it to $0, go for it - at the end of the day we set out to raise $200K and we will end up with at least $1M towards rare disease research. no matter what, this has been a win for the world. but if it moons, then hankinson lab will get the SOL’s community support for much longer, and that really makes a big difference. so that’s it! hope that's all pretty simple and reasonable. yi, mira and i are so unbelievably grateful to you all - each and every one of you. christmas magic was made real this year thanks to all of you. forever grateful.
