The 1997 lost Jeff Bezos video. Why start @Amazon with just book? The reason is quite quite interesting. We are seeing the same thought process play out with Alexa. Just like in 1997, many folks today in the tech industry are flummoxed by how this all happens.

Consumer is tough Because churn rates are high Which means LTV is low Which means CAC must be very low Which means that growth must be organic/viral Which generally requires new platforms or other viral vectors Which are rare. But magical when it happens.

I’ve really enjoyed watching The Last Dance. There are many take-aways for anyone who want to build something great. Here are my top 11 founder lessons. link.medium.com/yge4i4D2g6

In 2015, I went out to fundraise as a first-time founder. I was recently graduated and had been working on my startup for a year full time. Here's everything I did wrong:

Hediyeleri hep Instagram'da dağıtıyorum, Twitter'a ayıp oluyor "Meleklerin Payı: Bir Viski Macerası" kitabımın Gourmand Awards'a hak kazanmasının şerefine bu tweetimi RT eden bir okuruma Bohemya kristali Quadro #viski kadehi seti vermek istiyorum MEPA STORE SLAINTE!

Things that seed stage VCs don't like to hear: - "This is the last round we'll ever have to raise." - "Our CAC is $0." - "Our moat is that we work harder." - "It's clear that we have product/market fit." (These are heard frequently at seed stage, but true <5% of the time.)

Top mistakes engineers make when they become founders. (Can’t say I haven’t been guilty of these myself 🤐) A thread 👇

0/ After evaluating 200+ startups this year, I've been in some awesome and not so awesome pitches. Here are the top 10 mistakes I see Founders make that routinely derail fundraising 👇👇👇

We've just released a VC search engine 🙃 4,400+ VC firms. Type in "Enterprise SaaS 👨‍💼", "Fintech 💵", "Black founder 👨🏿‍🦱", "Woman-led 🙋🏻‍♀️"... And voilà! It's 100% free and collaborative: openvc.app Also, RT to help a founder out! 👏👏👏

I'm a founder at a startup. Here's my daily routine 🧵 7am: I take out my retainer. My dentist says I grind my teeth at night but he doesn't get that the grind never stops 8am: I text my mom "gm wagmi". She responds telling me I'm almost 30 and should figure my life out.

Way before Airbnb topped a $100B valuation they were constantly rejected at just a $1.5M valuation. Seven times to be exact. Here's the email exchange between Paul Graham and Fred Wilson where Paul pleads with Fred to invest in Airbnb 🧵

Startup founders just can't resist 😅

Unlike VCs predicting doom, I’m bullish for early-stage startups. This downturn differs from 2000 & 2008 (see why below). If you’re an early-stage CEO, don’t panic. Don’t obsess about extending runway. Obsess about making something people want, and hire superstars to help. 1/n

The best tech companies drive strategy through product. This is why founders and CEOs tend to be product leaders, and product / design / engineering is more important than ops / marketing / finance. Here’s what this looked like for me as a business leader at Amzn and Facebook:

İnvidyo ile yoğun iş temposu arasında telefonunuzdan bebeğinize bakıp, onun kameraya attığı öpücükler ile keyifli bir mola verebilirsiniz :)
