Tim Draper@timdraper · 8 小时前观点输出Founders ask me all the time: "What should I look for in an investor?"
One question: Does their management style match how you want to be managed?
You want an investor with great connections. Someone who'll give you insights when you need them.
But you DON'T want someone who tells you WHAT to do or HOW to do it.
If I thought I knew better than you how to run your company, I'd start my own company.
I'm writing a check because I believe YOU are the expert. Not me.
The best investor-founder relationships are partnerships. Not boss-employee dynamics.

Tim Draper@timdraper · 1 天前观点输出I like this: Important that we are one person one vote. https://t.co/ny92FBdqn7
Of course we should all be voting by phone by now.

Tim Draper@timdraper · 2 天前赛道影响Founders...
Investors are watching to see what you do right after they write the check.
Good founders get straight to work. They've got the rocket fuel, now they're launching.
Bad founders come back asking what to do next.
If you’re getting a check, it’s because an investor believes that you already know where you’re going.
They’re giving you fuel, not GPS directions.
Also... too much celebration is a red flag.
Pop some champagne, sure or in my case sparking apple juice. But then get back to building.

Tim Draper@timdraper · 3 天前观点输出I voted for Steve Hilton. We need to break the one-party gunion monopoly in California. Try a republican this time.
I voted yes for Prop 39. I think it will stop most corruption in our ballots, but we really should be voting with our phones by now.
I voted no on Prop. 40. It will drive businesses and jobs out of state—also unconstitutional.
I voted yes on 41 and 42. Because capitalism.
I voted no on everything else. Most are just driven by special gunion interests.

Tim Draper@timdraper · 6 天前观点输出Fifteen years. That was the timeline my nuclear physicist friend gave me for a new nuclear plant in the US. Five to design, five for approval, five to build.
Most entrepreneurs would have given up right there. @JakeDeWitte doubled down.
That is what I invested in. Not the reactor, the founder who hears fifteen years and starts anyway.
Now @Oklo is the first nuclear company approved in the US in 40 years, and the future keeps arriving faster than expected.

Tim Draper@timdraper · 7 天前赛道影响@Immusoft just presented clinical data at ASGCT on ISP-001 (the world's first engineered B cell therapy ever tested in a human being).
They take a patient's own B cells, reprogram them, and put them back in the body.
Those cells become miniature factories that continuously produce the enzyme MPS I patients are missing.
This means that there’s no more need for twice-weekly infusions and no more spike-and-crash enzyme levels. Your own cells are doing the work indefinitely.
The disease they're targeting, Hurler Syndrome, kills most patients within 10 years of diagnosis.
There is no cure and the current standard of care is either frequent infusions (forever) or a stem cell transplant that carries its own mortality risk.
The clinical data showed:
→ Favorable safety and tolerability
→ Measurable biochemical activity
→ Patients were safely re-dosed
They're now planning to expand into pediatric populations with CIRM backing the trial with up to $23M. The FDA has granted Orphan Drug, Rare Pediatric Disease, and Fast Track designations.
The implications go way beyond MPS I with every disease that needs sustained protein delivery suddenly having a new option on the table.
Exciting times in bio.

Tim Draper@timdraper · 9 天前观点输出We backed @mogul__club early. After hearing Alex Blackwood’s update at our summit in May, I knew we had to lead the Series A.
Alex Blackwood and Joey Gumataotao have a bold vision for real estate investing and the execution to back it up. A true “rhino” in the industry.
Congratulations to Alex, Joey, and the entire Mogul team. Proud to keep backing you!
