We glide past Big Ben on a picture-perfect sunny day. But there’s no chatty cabbie at the wheel — this car is driving itself. Last week, Wayve released an incredible demo. Wavye’s latest Lingo-2 model drives us around central London with ease, and even explains itself along the way! Understanding…

I work for myself. That means no juicy bigco health insurance. But I’ve found another way — a Christian health share. Since 2018, I’ve been using a service called Medishare. Medishare is a collective of people that share each other’s medical bills. Health shares will usually exempt you from any…

Yesterday, I was chatting with a wonderful young founder in New York. I mentioned trolling Crunchbase to find startups. “Wow, we need to get on there,” he replied. Today I’m going to show you the simplest way to get investors contacting you. It’s free, and it only takes about 15…

I started investing in startups in April of 2021, like a lot of other angels. But looking around 3 years later, many of them seem to be gone. I found an interesting data set from Jason Saltzman at Live Data Technologies. It shows a huge slowdown in new angels. The…

Last night, I scrolled through Amazon, entranced. You can buy a whole house for only $30,000! Some were as cheap as $15,000. But being Mr. Fancypants, I had my eyes on one for $72,000. I better hurry — there’s only 10 left in stock! 🙂 But as exciting as manufactured…

“Cynicism is the coward’s way out.” Jason Calacanis Last week, I thought, “Wouldn’t it be awesome to be on This Week in Startups some day? Maybe many years from now.” A couple days later, it happened! Jamming with JCal Host and angel investor Jason Calacanis was doing a Q&A session…

Coinbase is one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges. Its market cap is $64 billion. But in the summer of 2012, founder Brian Armstrong was in a dimly lit Silicon Valley office, practicing his pitch. Let’s dig in! What the Heck Is Bitcoin? Brian does a wonderful job of explaining…
