The Most Precious Resource

• Time is the last unoptimized resource — high-friction scheduling destroys it.
  • Blockit targets global time allocation via freemium + network effects.
  • Sequoia projects $1B+ revenue potential.
• Sequoia backed Khimji as a partner in 2019 — before he was a founder.
  • Bet: learning velocity, EQ, tenacity, IQ — not a product or traction.
• Network effect is calendar inventory: more supply = better match quality.
• Internal test: could this be among the most important companies in decades?
  • Blockit passed — productivity at work, presence at home, no tradeoff.
• “Pure Pareto gain on life” — Sequoia’s stated thesis, not marketing copy.
