Not sure if intentional, but sponsoring amateurs seems like an obvious plus EV move at the Masters. Only 5 amateurs in the tournament - so a 20% chance they pick the low-am and get their logo in front of everyone at Butler Cabin (for way cheaper than the big names) Ramp

Surprise package from LMNT announcing their new sparkling water cans. Cool to be included in the launch drop. But on the other hand it basically just means there’s a SQL query out there that identified me as someone who has not only spent an egregious amount of money on

If I were to ever start a VC backed company, there's a shortlist of 5 people from prior jobs in my notes app that I would basically throw unlimited equity / $$ at to join me The list used to be 8 but 3 of them have started their own co's unfortunately

I might write a more long-form post on this topic later bc I think it's underdiscussed. This is where the startup accounting firm landscape fails -- firms don't staff based on business model, so you end up with fractional controllers that have 9 SaaS clients and 1 txn based

Back in NYC for the summer 🍎 Gearing up for a huge sprint. Lot more in person time with clients, partners, VCs to come. Hmu if you’re here!

Close friend of mine wants to move to an operating role (BizOps / CoS type) at an early stage startup. He spent the last 2 yrs at a tier 1 VC in SF covering AI + SaaS, and 2 yrs at a tier 1 IB in NYC before that. Lmk if anyone is interested in an intro or has recs on founders

I'd love to get in touch with other accounting / CFO services firm owners on here. Hoping to trade notes on how we / they think about staffing models, engagement structures, service lines (CFO, bookkeeping, tax payroll), etc. Who are the best operators in the space to talk to?

Amazing to see Austin quickly becoming a hub of hardware innovation -- Base Power, Saronic, ICON, Tesla, SpaceX, 8VC build, etc. -- hopefully just the beginning. Excited for Blake Lieberman and what he's launching with 021!

Devin has saved companies millions of dollars and has shown as much as an 8x productivity boost in engineering time. Great to chat with Forbes about the work Devin has been doing with customers like Nubank, Ramp, and MongoDB!

I had no idea the Bench founder was replaced by his board 3 years ago. Anecdotally this is where everything started to go downhill. Kudos to you Ian Crosby

"The danger zone is burning a bunch of capital to grow despite having broken unit economics, without a clear path to improvement. Services business masquerading as tech companies often fall here." The Bench shutdown is unfortunate, but I hope the silver lining is it forces

QUINN!! let’s goooooo

Impressed by relatively small teams that went on to produce outsized finance & investing leadership in tech: -- Dropbox's Strategic Finance team, 2012 - 2016 -- GS TMT in SF, 2010 - 2014 -- Instacart's Finance & BizOps team, 2017 - 2020 Look closely and you'll see the alumni
