💎  5 Tweet Tuesday 💎 

My favorite 5 tweets of the week. Let’s dive in:

#1 💎 

I’ve been thinking about my “dopamine” diet.

Just like how you can get 500 calories from broccoli or recess peanut butter cups (yum) – you can get dopamine from doing things (working out, playing sports, hanging with friends) or by consuming things (scrolling, eating, watching) 

This year I started learning to play the piano. That’s 1 hour a day I’m making music, rather than scrolling TikTok. Big win.

Shooting for an 80/20 split. More dopamine from doing things than consuming things.

#2 💎 

Damn!

#3 💎

The funding game is changing.

Mercury surveyed 1,500 startups to see how founders are raising in 2025.

Turns out:

Most are mixing VC, revenue-based financing, loans, and angels

Founders using 4+ capital sources were 3x more likely to raise $5–20M

And 73% of companies raised under $5M total

It’s scrappier. Smarter. More diversified.
