I predict a very long two years of series A and growth stage founders learning about pref stacks, waterfalls, and what that valuation really means (ie, time you have to execute) If you have a model for โ€œfriendly down round term sheet fundโ€, now the time to raise itโ€ฆ

VC: I don't think I can invest because your projections are too conservative. We like to see 3x YoY growth. Founder: Um. Okay. I'll make up completely different made up numbers that should have no bearing on an investment decision for conversations with other people.

New Yorkers: I need your Iโ™ฅ๏ธNY stories so we can turn them into poems & stash secret Valentines all over. ๐Ÿ‘‡ Give me your "caught in a thundershower", "shared a gyro with a pigeon," "bought bagels for a stranger," "met your soulmate at a dive bar" moments. Reply below & RT! ๐Ÿ’•

The very existence of your startup should ~not~ be predicated on the next round of funding It's always been true, but finding myself repeating this a lot more lately...

A great head of sales will stress the whole org from product to eng to marketing - can be an amazing add if you're startup is ready and has true PMF and if not, it can break you - just make sure you're honest with where you really are

Weโ€™ve been trying for over two hours to find a human being to talk to Verizon Support for one of our businesses. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

Donโ€™t underestimate the power of telling someone you see their potential and believe in them. It's a small act of kindness that can make a huge impact and change the trajectory of someoneโ€™s life.
