So grateful to work alongside @KenOno691 — and even more grateful that he believes in what we’re building at Math in the Mountains. This program exists because of mentors like him. 🏔️ 🎬 https://t.co/JVFb4O2HUO

Proud to support this new film from @KenOno691, who previously helped bring The Man Who Knew Infinity to life — a film that meant a great deal to Aria. Maryam Mirzakhani’s story belongs in that lineage. Inspiring, heartbreaking, essential. https://t.co/Misycmc01w

RIP #CharlieMunger, who invited me to dinner - despite his disdain for VCs. Wish I had met this kindred spirit & mentor years sooner. We discussed @1955capital fixing the broken #VC model, humble beginnings & dear mentors like @vkhosla. #BerkshireHathaway https://t.co/nOauTqzppd
