SF is back! 💥

Questo post non poteva intitolarsi altrimenti: San Francisco sta tornando (non se n'è mai andata) più carica che mai. Attenzione: questo post provoca FOMO 🤩

Sono diverse settimane che io e Tommaso ci mandiamo tweet e screenshot di gente carichissima per l’aria che si respira ultimamente a San Francisco.

Abbiamo quindi pensato di farci un post a quattro mani (soprattutto le due di Tommaso hanno fatto il grosso del lavoro!) raccogliendoli tutti insieme, perché ormai non sappiamo più come convincervi a salire su quell’aereo 😅

Non potevamo che partire da qui:

Tommaso Tosi in SF 🌁 @tosi_tommaso

At the office in SF and there's not a single desk empty. Bullish.

Procediamo con la carrellata 🛒

• YC founder che se ne sono andati e si stanno pentendo:

Bruno Faviero @Bfaviero

I miss the energy, people, and nature of SF. An intellectual, friendly, and inclusive energy that’s hard to find elsewhere.

• Eventi a SF:

Andrew Yeung @andruyeung

🎉 Hosting a mixer in SF on Wed, Oct 19 for everyone in the tech, business, and creative space. Rented out a beautiful, intimate private space in the heart of SF. Come mingle, have a drink, and meet others doing cool things in SF. 👋 Comment below for an invite.

👉 l’evento di cui si parla nel tweet sopra è qua: SF Tech + Biz Fall Mixer, 19 ottobre

• Persone che si prendono il merito 🤡

jaiya @jaiyagill

• Feste and fun

Ric Burton @ricburton

There has been a lot of talk about whether San Francisco “is back” I simply present to you the master of Showtime, Mr. @AlexMasmej and rest my case

• SF non smette di essere back:

roon @tszzl

every single month for the past 18 months i have attended a party called "SF is back party" and i will continue attending them into the far future

roon @tszzl

the year is 2036. sam altman owns the known universe. i am creating a partiful for my "SF is back" party hosted on one of jupiter's moons

Eric Bahn 💛 @ericbahn

Bay Area peeps be like: “Just brushed my teeth. SF is back baby!”

sarah guo 🌱 @saranormous

Friends, founders, events in SF 3-4 nights/week again. IT’S ALIVE

• Molti tech talents (non su twitter probabilmente) non si sono mai accorti che era momentaneamente “gone”:

sucks @powerbottomdad1

"sf is back" nobody cares. smart people already know / will do whatever they want. you're preaching to a bunch of random normies. its boring

• Non c’è posto migliore per giovani creativi e ambiziosi:

roon @tszzl

“sf is back” but not for normies, never will be it’s back for the homies building the future

Eric Bahn 💛 @ericbahn

I’m spending more time in SF these days. The city clearly has a lot of problems, but it is slowly getting more active AND cheaper to live here too. GenZ seems to be taking notice; a lot of young, talented builders are steadily coming in. Makes me bullish.

• Persone che soffrono di FOMO:

holyn 🔅 @holyn

there’s sf propaganda all over the tl :(

• Aggiungiamo un po’ di altra FOMO e dovremmo esserci:

Jack Altman @jaltma

Three great dinners in SF this week and more in person meetings lately than I've had since covid started. SF is back baby!! 🥳

• Sinceramente era “back” anche un anno fa lol:

Samuel Spitz (NYC Edition) @samuel_spitz

SF was back 6 months ago and y’all are just finding out now?

• SF IS tier 1:

prayingforexits 🏴‍☠️ @mrexits

San Francisco making its prodigal return as a Tier 1 city is a comeback story for ages

• SF is now sharper, leaner, hungrier, etc than it was pre-COVID:

Zak Kukoff @zck

After spending a few days in NYC I find I’m missing SF — which is not only back but in many ways sharper, leaner, hungrier, etc than it was pre-COVID

• 10X, not bad:

Nihar Neelakanti @NiharNeelakanti

The buzz in SF is unreal. 10x from 6 months ago

Geoff Lewis @GeoffLewisOrg

Mega vibe shift in SF —> new over past 3-5 weeks. Bullish.

• Certi “mastermind” si trovano solo a SF e… no aspetta, solo a SF mi sa:

immad @immad

Are you a founder thats successfully raised a Series A and want to help other founders? Mercury is hosting an event in SF for 36 founders looking to raise an A. We're looking for 2 more mentors. Oct 12 2-4pm, DM or email our micaiah AT mercury.com if interested.

mercury.comMercury | Banking for startupsA complete financial stack to build your company. Scale with FDIC-insured bank accounts, debit and credit cards, and 3-click payment flows.

• The energy:

Geoff Lewis @GeoffLewisOrg

Been back in the SF Bay Area for less than 3 hours and the entrepreneurial energy is electric on a sat afternoon. Bullish!

• And people going back

Erik Dunteman @erikdoingthings

Returning full time to SF in January

• Inverstors and LPs meetings back IRL:

Cindy Bi ㊙️ @CindyBiSV

Many founders have chatted with me IRL one on one within the last 2 months (SF is not dead haha). On another note - is it still possible to 100% fundraise remotely, for both founders and GPs?

• Fare startup a New York? Mmmmmm:

noisé @proetrie

i would rarely invest in a young founder in nyc unless i know them very well. building a company with all of the crack den level distractions + adhd in nyc is like building a home off of a vertical cliff with your bare hands and alligators below.

Bruno Faviero @Bfaviero

@proetrie This is why young founders need to go to the Founder Bootcamp that is SF

• E non poteva mancare @sama:

Sam Altman @sama

boring prediction: the bay area will remain the center of gravity of tech for the next decade. this will be true in spite of an ongoing heroic effort by state and local politicians to kill it.

Sam Altman @sama

the AI boom is enough on its own for this to be true, but it seems true for many other categories too. the most impressive technical people seem to be moving here again, and the quality of conversations remains higher than anywhere else i've found.

• Insomma, ovunque siate (ma meglio SF) ricordate che:

Michael Seibel @mwseibel

Being in a city and community with a lot of other smart founders working very hard and supporting one another is another huge advantage.

LFG.
