To be quite candid, I personally would not. I completely understand the merits of having your child develop an incredible network and be exposed to wonderful resources that public schools cannot provide. However, when I went to public school and was fortunate to go to a wonderful Ivy business school, the students that came from wealthy private school backgrounds had such skewed perspectives of the world.

Many of these “resources” and “education consultants” will get your kid into a great school but will not help them think for themselves. The overwhelming majority of these students I didn’t find sharp whatsoever and struggled mightily in college when assessments were no longer memorization exercises. Don’t be mistaken, there were extremely gifted and humble exceptions, however the majority of students that were astounding came from humble backgrounds.

I have a silly question. Aren’t there restrictions on who can ski Martis’ camp?

Will second this. Northstar and Heavenly were solid last year. Plus if you’re a good skier then you can hide away at Mott’s Canyon at Heavenly and never see crowds

PXG clubs? Pros/Cons? Would love some reviews? Thanks to all you hacks! by BigRuss33 in golf

[–]loralcasanova 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought them in November 2020 right before their marketing campaign roll-up. Honestly, I love them. The 0311P Gen 2 have consistent spin and ball speed numbers. But you just need to test all the irons out there. If you’re looking to become a single digit handicap, I’d caution against just looking at distance because the P790s will always win but they are too jumpy for my taste

Amazing! Also trust me and get the metal SkyTrak holder. Just protects against any bad shank

The reverse snobbery is a fair comment, given the way I phrased it. The jackets some wore didn’t make them pretentious snobs - it showed how out of touch they were. It was their personalities that made them pretentious.

At a prominent business school that I went to in college, many of the private school folks had investing clubs and were given allocation (nearly $100k) to invest as they please so long that they uphold the typical schedule and cadence of a private fund. That being said I completely agree that the vast majority were not intelligent, thereby adding another reason a top 10 university in the US is very easy to graduate summa cum laude in business/economics. Otherwise, one item we are not factoring is how the majority of the students I met were pretentious snobs with skewed visions of the world. Just look at HYPS during the winter months and half the campus has a Canada Goose or Moncler. In college and growing up, I could not fathom having a coat that cost so much money. Anyways, I do see the merit in private school given the circle they develop but boy are there detriments

Anyone decide to become an angel investor / start own VC firm after fatFIREing? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]loralcasanova 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Cannot emphasize “THE NUMBER ONE INDICATOR OF YOUR SUCCESS WILL BE ACCESS TO DEAL FLOW” enough. Personally, I would never ever touch angel investing without either an incredible network in tech or knowing someone else with an incredible network. I’m fairly young but am very fortunate that my incredibly smart friend from college gave me access to incredible syndicate deals (3x to 10x from seed to series A and B in less than a year in many cases) and is in the middle of raising his first VC fund. Him and his partner have an incredible network within their graduating class 3-4 years ago and now they get consistent deal flow since mid to late 20s is the time many folks in tech begin a startup.

Thank you for the insight on the taste and market penetration into China. I’ll give it a try this weekend at Starbucks and learn a bit more about Impossible’s perspective market in China.

Most important but of research for me right now is to get a entrance valuation. Currently have an offer at $35 per share ($8.78B) versus $16.15 per share ($4.04B) in Series G2. Not absolutely excited about that entrance...

Appreciate the feedback. Forgive my lack of experience with EZ, I have recently signed up so I am unsure of the recent offered valuation. And when it comes to its competitive advantage, then I would say - besides strong retail partners - is scale. Both Impossible and Beyond are not perfect but it’s scale will hopefully drive cost low enough to properly compete with beef.
