I’m bored with Marc Andreessen.

I’m bored hearing nonstop about a few lucky billionaires, who invented nothing, freed no one, and saved no lives, being treated as superhuman celebrities. They’re just rich dudes. Yawn.

Founders: If your calendar doesn't look like this while fundraising (seed+), you're not getting the most out of it.
At peak fundraise I had 50+ meetings in a week. Most in 1 day was 18.
I recommend most founders to be full-time fundraising when doing it. All out or not at all.

I joined a VC firm two years out of college. Quickly realized - “why would anyone want to work with me? I’ve never built or launched anything or ran a real team.” So I reneged on that offer to go back to a startup to be a PM and later start something. No regrets.

Loaned a founder $4k to be able to pay their rent until their round closed.
Not every founder has the resources to self-fund prior to VC backing, and I think it's something a lot of folks take for granted. Esp. w/ overlooked founders.
They ended up raising an amazing round :)

Looking through the YC pitches and it is impressive how many companies have gotten to $50k-100k+ ARR in just 3 months.
Good reminder that you CAN get to revenue quickly. Part of the focus that YC drills into you.

Dear founders: 👏 run 👏 a 👏 process 👏
If you don’t, you’ll end up w a term sheet deadline wondering if you could’ve gotten better terms / investors / leverage (from more term sheets)
It doesn’t have to be a long process, but it should be TIGHT (you can spin up quickly).

Saw an amazing founder w a Lead TS at $6M cap.
Helped him push back, improve the pitch, and he raised at $20M a month later.
Too many VCs would’ve pounced on the low val and syndicated it vs helping them get the best val they could get. That’s why you need angels in your corner

But to be good at anything you have be ok being bad at it first.

I've yet to see a startup that doesn't come out stronger from a fundraising process.
Having your startup challenged from every possible angle makes your pitch cleaner and expands your vision with new ideas.
Our roadmap is bigger, bolder, and sharper than ever before!

Just caught up with my Danish friend in Copenhagen. Good salary, owns a nice apartment, gets 7 weeks of vacation a year, and when he has a baby soon he’ll get 26 weeks off +$700/month from the government until the child is 3. It’s like a peek into a different universe.

Funniest scenario in the fundraise so far:

– Me: "We have you down for a $50k allocation what's up"
– VC: "Yes but we want $100k"

They made fun of me when I started angel investing, now I have two unicorns in my portfolio.
They made fun of me when I put 95% of my net worth into Bitcoin @ $25k and now it's to the 🌙
They made fun of me for buying GME at $300 and.... well, you can't win them all.

New founder just asked me "Why do VCs keep sending me press releases/articles about shitty/vaporware competitors asking what we're doing about them? I've been tracking them all for months/years.. Also they're not adding anything, just sending links"

Had probably one of the worst pitch meetings of my life this past week as a founder (and I've pitched hundreds of times across 3 venture-backed companies).
Conversation felt like a hospital intake. No reaction to what I was building. "Market size? Got it. GTM? Mmhm. Team? Ok."
