The Community for Tech's Deepest Thinkers

Hey friends,

Happy 2022!

For many of us, a New Year presents an opportunity to set new goals; to commit to new ways to push and improve ourselves.

It’s with that in mind that I’m excited to take the wraps off The Generalist’s Community. While we’ve been running this private, high-caliber group for the past year, this is the first time we’re sharing details about what makes it magical and how you can join.

If you’re looking to accelerate your learning, improve your investing, and meet fellow builders in 2022, join us here.

…Or keep scrolling to learn why it’s been called “one of the highest quality communities on the internet,” “an absurdly high-caliber braintrust,” and “web3’s best kept secret.”

The benefits
​

What makes this community so magical? We’ve focused on driving value in four key areas. If these are important to you, I think you’ll love it.

1. Valuable connections. We make tailored introductions for every new member, in addition to making curated connections on a monthly basis. Our goal is to help you meet people that can radically improve the trajectory of your professional life.
2. Insightful conversations. You’ll learn by having meaningful conversations with some of the smartest people in tech. If you like to discuss public and private markets, radical innovations, favorite books, and new management techniques, come join us.
3. Expert talks. Every month – and sometimes more – we bring in expert investors and builders to share their knowledge. For the many lifelong learners that read The Generalist, this serves as an enduring curriculum.
4. Impactful investments. By learning and connecting with tech’s deepest thinkers and most ambitious builders, you’ll be exposed to investment opportunities that might not surface elsewhere.

Delivering a 10-100x experience
​

We want The Generalist community to be the best investment you make in yourself, delivering a 10-100x return. We try to do that by engineering for outcomes with a super high return potential. For example:

• Meeting a co-founder.
• Meeting an enduring thought partner.
• Making a key hire.
• Making a real friend.
• Making a better decision about what space to tackle for your next startup.
• Finding your next job.
• Finding an awesome investment.
• Learning something that changes you.
• Learning something that brings you substantially closer to your professional goals.

We hope that every community member experiences at least one of the above, and hopefully several, many times over. The compounding impact of even just one can be profound.

Our impact
​

We think of our community as small but mighty. Here’s what a few members have said about the community’s positive impact:

– Ho Nam, co-founder of Altos Ventures; early investor in Roblox, Coupang, and many more.

— David Phelps, founder of Eco DAO and Forem Education

— Annika Lewis, Grants Program Lead at Gitcoin

– Nick deWilde, Founder of Invisible College; Advisor at Guild Education​
​

I hope you’ll meet many more happy members.

It’s time
​

If you’ve thought about joining the community in the past, now is the perfect moment to take action. We’ll be kicking off the year with a bang, with a ton of great events already scheduled including talks from Ho Nam (co-founder of Altos Ventures), Sean Summers (CMO of Mercado Libre), and Chris McCann (founder of Race Capital; early FTX and Solana investor).

​Bring serendipity and superpowers to your 2022 by hopping aboard today.

I am psyched for this new chapter. I think it will give us all deeper ways to interact and more powerful ways to learn.

I am extremely grateful to have you as a reader and supporter.

Great days ahead,

Mario
