Love on the Rocks

Michael Moe, EIEIO, Dec 21, 2022

Daniel Christian shared this post and I can't resist passing it along. It's a newsletter authored by Michael Moe, founder of Global Silicon Valley (GSV), an investment firm. Reading it feels a bit like watching a train wreck in slow motion, from the hackneyed football story to start the item, to reading about "my delight when co-founder of Coursera Daphne Koehler came into my office in 2012 to explain the radical concept behind her new business" to the "despite what the score says, I like the fundamentals of the company and the open ended potential" ("GSV owns shares in Coursera") to the closing bit, "New MacDonald has a Startup.... EIEIO: Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Education, Impact and Opportunity." It really is a glimpse into another world, one not for the likes of you and I.
