Why are Indian VCs so afraid to take risk and make money?
Someone should go to India and take risk and make money.

being the @JoinEdgeCity residency lead means my evenings lately are spent with some of the best residencies in india.
@adiorchestrates is 17. he started @forgeresidency in february, it's already on cohort 3, and every founder on the roster is under 25.
@saadhvicantweet just launched @nova_residency, india's first residency for female founders. their first cohort kicks off soon.
three months outside the sf bubble has reminded me how much you miss when everyone around you is working on the same things. the problems these founders are tackling are ones i'd never have heard about in sf.
when i'm back in the states, i want to get these communities building together.
We hosted over 200 people at our founder villa in goa for our pool party, forge shadow.
DJ, drinks, caffeine, and nobody going home early.
@JoinEdgeCity , your popup village has energy!

Had a great breakfast with LightDao
and then had a chance to sit and chat with the @adiorchestrates about residencies and @forgeresidency.

Craziest founder arc I've seen in a while.
He's a death metal vocalist.
Patented a no-tie shoelace system.
Then built an internship platform.
Got into flipping shoes, then selling ice cream.
Now building Taan AI which generates a soundtrack for any video.
And he's only 22.
This video tells my story, my friends made it for me a couple months ago.
Today, we scored the same video with Taan.
Feels good seeing the progress we’ve made since then :)

The new Sam Bankman-Fried trailer has been all over X, so we thought we’d give it a twist.
See what Taan was able to do with it.

This is Taan.

Over the last couple of weeks it's been getting goood
So I thought I'd starting showing you all :)
