One of the best fundraising hacks: founders write the full investment memo and send it to VCs in advance. This format is way more consumable than a data room, saves associates hours, removes unnecessary calls/emails, and can expedite fundraising processes by 2+ weeks.

A Kerala-born, Houston-raised brown boy has the top hip-hop song in the world right now! I never thought this day would come. Big ups to Hanumankind for putting South Asian hip-hop on the map.

Some people grind for years - sourcing deals, helping founders, building community - in order to break into VC. And others choke a homeless man to death on the subway. SMFH. thefp.com/p/exclusive-da…

Only ~10 companies are founded every year that drive meaningful returns. Brand name VC coverage is exceptional. The only way to win against them is focus on geos outside the Bay (Canva) or non-consensus categories (Chewy). Either way, you gotta be contrarian and correct!

The advent of smartphones/cloud computing transformed the taxi and food delivery industries from fragmented, regional, low margin to tech-forward, consolidated, high margin industries. AI is creating a similar dynamic today in services industries (legal, accounting, RIA, MSP).
