My first company @twitch sold for a billion dollars. My second one lost $75 million in 36 months. People love talking about success, but today I'm going to talk about failure. It's time to be honest about Atrium:

SEC should investigate the following: 1. Did Citadel’s hedge funds (Citadel Global Equities and Citadel Wellington) hold any short positions in stocks heavily owned by Robinhood users? And did they increase them in the past few days?

Robinhood not allowing trading of $GME and $AMC. The elites have the financial system rigged. Why would any user trust Robinhood ever again?

10 months ago we shut down Atrium after raising $75m in venture capital. Anyone hearing that knows I made tons of mistakes along the way. Someone asked me today what my biggest lessons learned were. Here they are:
