The Rise of the 149-Person Company

from haseeb qureshi [alt+shift+b] in startups

22nd Jun 2026
@SemiAnalysis_ recently found something bizarre in the economics of AI coding subscriptions. If you run them at max usage limits, you’re actually paying 20x-70x cheaper than you would buying tokens through the API. Many people looked at this and said: oh my god, look how much the...

Crypto was not made for humans

from haseeb qureshi [alt+shift+b] in startups

18th Feb 2026
We’re a crypto fund. If anyone should believe in crypto, it’s us. And yet, when we sign a deal to invest into a startup, we don’t sign a smart contract. We sign a legal contract. The startup does the same. Neither of us are comfortable doing the deal without a legal...

2026 predictions

from haseeb qureshi [alt+shift+b] in startups

29th Dec 2025
It’s that time again—as 2025 comes to a close, it’s time to drop 2026 predictions. I think 2026 is going to surprise, both to the upside and to the downside. Organized by category: Macro / Chains $BTC is > $150K by year-end, but BTC dominance decreases in 2026. Despite the...

How to Break Into VC

from haseeb qureshi [alt+shift+b] in startups

9th Nov 2025
Here’s what I would do if I was a young person trying to break into VC: Write. Short writeups, on Twitter. Not generic market philosophical thinkpieces, because those will be assumed to be AI slop or regurgitated research. No one will read it unless you’re brilliant, which you’re...

On being bald

from haseeb qureshi [alt+shift+b] in startups

17th Sep 2025
I started shaving my head in my early 20s. I was way too young to be balding that early, and it terrified me. So I decided, fuck it, just go all the way to the finish line. The first time I shaved my head, I thought I looked like a ghoul. In my dreams, I still had hair. It didn’t...

I Passed on Solana’s Seed Round

from haseeb qureshi [alt+shift+b] in startups

17th Mar 2025
I passed on @solana’s seed round in early 2018 at $0.04. At current prices, that’s a 3,250x. Solana was one of my first ever pitches as a junior VC, and back then I wrote memos for every deal I passed on (adorably naive and overconfident). Re-reading this memo now is peak junior...

What explains the rise of AMMs?

from haseeb qureshi [alt+shift+b] in startups

22nd Jul 2020
Imagine a college friend reached out to you and said, “Hey, I have a business idea. I’m going to run a market making bot. I’ll always quote a price no matter who’s asking, and for my pricing algorithm I’ll use x * y = k. That’s pretty much it. Want to invest?” You’d run...

Why Decentralization Isn’t as Important as You Think

from haseeb qureshi [alt+shift+b] in startups

31st Mar 2020
If you’ve spent any time at all on crypto Twitter, you’re familiar with the web3 narrative. It goes like this: in the beginning, the web was “truly decentralized.” Against all odds, the World Wide Web won against the corporatist designs of companies like Microsoft, and cyberspace...

Flash Loans: Why Flash Attacks will be the New Normal

from haseeb qureshi [alt+shift+b] in startups

27th Feb 2020
Flash loans have been the center of attention lately. Recently two hackers used flash loans to attack the margin trading protocol bZx, first in a $350K attack and later in a $600K copycat attack. These attacks were, in a word, magnificent. In each attack, a penniless attacker...

Another decade

from haseeb qureshi [alt+shift+b] in startups

6th Jan 2020
I recently turned 30. When the decade began in 2010, I was still 20, a professional poker player, a college dropout, and deeply unhappy. What did I believe I’d be doing a decade later? I don’t think I knew, only that I definitely wouldn’t be playing poker anymore. I’d be doing...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
