14 Silicon Valley Startups Raised $677.4M - Week of September 2, 2024📺 Solana vs Ethereum is like Android vs iOS 💪 Founder’s Mode by Paul Graham 💰 Magnificent 7 are Distorting VC market 🤼♂️ Clash of the Tech Titans ⛓️ Pavel Durov’s DeclarationHappy Monday! Here are a few great things to read/watch this week:💪 Founder’s Mode by Paul Graham — VC’s who haven't been founders themselves don't really know how founders should run their companies.

He was told he may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram. Here is his public announcement on Telegram. 🤼♂️ Clash of the Tech Titans: Silicon Valley Fractures Over Harris vs. Trump — An extraordinary public “war of words” is brewing in Silicon Valley, as some of the biggest names in technology take shots at former friends and colleagues in the run-up to the presidential election. This kind of infighting has been rare in previous presidential elections as the tech industry has historically leaned left. We are seeing tension between Silicon Valley billionaires because, for the first election cycle in my memory, some of them are leaving the herd and thinking and acting for themselves.
