Fundraising is a totally different skill from running a startup. I see founders treat investors like customers and get WAY too deep in the weeds of the product today. But investors are buying the future. They want to know how big this gets — and how you get there.

How does a new startup take on a data store the size of Redis 🧐? Robby & Timothy Chen talk with Dragonfly CTO Roman Gershman 🇮🇱 about the challenges heavy data users have with Redis (scale, cost, performance) And how they power data for users at SoFi, Expedia, Twilio & Spotify

Had a blast on the podcast with Robby and Timothy Chen ! 🚀 We dove deep into #Dragonfly, discussing the problems we're solving and our exciting vision for the future.

It's here!!! I got 99 problems but log processing ain't one. Pipelines allows you to build bespoke processing stages for your logs, so you can have your cake and eat it too. Why isn't this integrated into every SIEM?

There's a wave of badass emerging managers hustling so hard right now. Early-stage VC isn’t what it used to be. We're in a whole new era. Proud to be an LP in a number of them. Let's go 🚀

Pre-seed is about being comfortable in chaos. The product isn't clear. The ICP keeps shifting. Founders need space to explore before they commit to a direction. Most VCs hate that uncertainty which is why I love partnering with other pre-seed & seed funds who embrace it.

Early stage fundraising today is binary. You're either the hot deal — pre-revenue & hyped, or growing 5-10x... Or it's a grind. There’s no middle. Just haves and have-nots.

At this point, every startup is an AI infra or AI app company

My crypto strategy? Investing in really smart friends who are deep in the space Proud LP in Metalayer Ventures

I pass on most startups not because the product isn’t good, but because there’s nothing unique about their GTM. Even a 10x product won’t win without a real distribution advantage.
