“I’m delighted to announce #PeterThiel is joining #YC as one of the (now 10!) part-time partners.

In addition to founding #PayPal and #Palantir and being the first investor in #Facebook, Peter has been involved with many of the most important #technology companies of the last 15 years, both personally and through #FoundersFund, and the founders of those companies will generally tell you he has been their best source of #strategic #advice.” — Sam Altman, 2015.

Compare the sign on blog post (Altman) to the tweet (pg as shown).

When you take capital from #Thiel, then only realise a decade later it wasn’t a good idea. At the time when this was announced I thought, “Oh shit #PG, don’t do it”. Then history.

It’s the lure of capital. You get covered in the deeds of these shitty founders (Thiel) and you have to back track, knowing it was blood money.

Enorm bezuinigen op onderwijs, maar wel aandeelhouders spekken: rijksoverheid.nl/actueel/nieuw.

Want startups zijn zóó belangrijk voor Nederland! Zoals deze (van Ronald Plasterk): businessinsider.nl/farmabedrij.

"Uit internationaal vergelijkend onderzoek is gebleken dat Nederland op deze punten nu nog uit de pas loopt" - ik ken er veel meer...

Als u (voorgelogen of de leugens waarderende) "rechts" gestemd heeft: geen dank daarvoor.
