Huge shout out to all the founders and Petronas for making this accelerator a success!Before you start any journey, have the destination in mind first. Sure the destination is always the goal for anyone embarking on any journey. But the journey is sacred too. We got to remember that the process is what makes it rewarding and fulfilling. When we train for a marathon, we can’t think about the 26 miles right from the get-go. We can’t fixate on how long and arduous those 26 miles will be. Doubt w...

Months of debating, catching him, discussing about his Adderall and drug addiction. Is it finally over? Will the heavens finally right the wrongs, send SBF to jail and recover the billions he stole from customers? Perhaps not. But at least justice was swift. Uncannily, uncharacteristically and unusually swift. Between the fall of FTX to SBF being foun...

To secure the best talents, Citadel pays their interns nearly $20k a month. Would you?First of all, I didn’t know it was even possible to make 20 Gs as an intern.
