On AI’s role and the future of work
"AI trains off people's creativity, but something within us will always be deeply connected to human creativity and connectivity. No one wants AI to write a pop song or comfort you after a serious medical diagnosis. However, AI is really good at almost everything else, which is going to push people to jobs in the creative field. The cool thing about that is we'll see the world moving towards everyone being an entrepreneur.” (from Gaingels)
Why polarization beats likability
“When I invest in founders, I look for polarizing references. It’s better to have super fans and haters than to be well liked. When you’re hiring in the early days, the fan is going to take your offer over the dozens others they have. If you’re just likeable? Good luck.” (from Twitter)
