Michael noted (casually, in content) that Fred Wilson - the legendary VC and co-founder of Union Square Ventures (USV) - subscribed to Founding Journey (now Hard Calls) a couple months ago.
Why it matters
Fred Wilson is one of the most prominent and well-read VCs in tech. His voluntary subscription is a meaningful social proof data point and a potential distribution asset (if he ever engages with or shares content). Worth referencing in press materials, brand positioning, or outreach decks if the rebrand to Hard Calls opens those conversations.
Status
Subscriber as of roughly June 2026. No direct interaction noted beyond the subscription itself.
