Blas
Hi, my name is Blas and I have spent thousands of hours curating this content and community to save you time, money, and effort.
Content
I’ve personally read, summarized, and synthesized more than 1,000 books and this forms the basis of our proprietary worldly wisdom learning journey, made up of 160+ mental models. I strive to make these foundational ideas as applicable and approachable as possible, aiming to enrich your thinking and decision-making. If you really want to nerd out, you can learn more here and here.
We’ve also built a LatticeGPT to make the thousands of pages of content as useful as possible. This is a 24/7, always available learning companion that helps our partners think through ideas, make better decisions, suggest introductions to other partners, and more.
Community
While I stand by this content, what’s truly special is the community. I personally vet each applicant before they join and look for low-ego, kind, curious, and open-minded partners. We now have an incredibly high-quality community with hundreds of people from all over the world. We have a very long tail of different backgrounds and experiences, but investors, founders, designers, engineers, and researchers make up the bulk.
To make the most of this community, we facilitate thoughtful dialogue through 1:1 introductions, calls with experts, in-person and online events, and more!
