Marc Andreessen’s Focus Alpha playlist features Hans Zimmer - whose Jewish mother fled Nazi Germany.
Meanwhile, his manifesto praises fascists and alt-right theorists.

What is the WORST cut you’ve done while bootstrapping your startup?
I’ll start: me & my co-founder cut our (ultra expensive) therapists.
They (the therapists, and literally everyone else) said it was a bad idea.
They were right.

How do you record your product demos?
I literally have a sticky note with what I have to show, because my iPhone is busy being my camera.

When your co-founder is also your life partner, the lines get blurry FAST.
Dinner talks? Suddenly, they’re “quick strategy sessions.”
Date nights? Somehow become “Let’s take a look at Q4.”
Late-night texts? “Did you send that email?!” at 11 PM.
We’ve been there - are ARE there.

As a university dropout, the qualification question used to trigger me heavily.
While holding 0 degrees, I bring years of experience to the table.
Am I qualified enough to build an AI-powered startup? Not really.
Am I qualified to transform the way nonprofits get new donors?
Hell yes I am.

Running a #nonprofit isn’t all about spreadsheets.
Building Petners led me to going live on Berlin’s most popular streaming - HÖR.
We raised €5k for the animals living at the frontlines of Ukraine and got 100s of new supporters from the music scene.
Exploring new paths is fun!
