5 products in 1. Streamlining is a massive theme in software right now, and one product that leans into this is @EmploymentHero - an HR platform that offers a smorgasbord of people-related functionality. Core HR, Payroll, ATS, Benefits and Global Hiring all in a single tool.

Tested a lot of CRMs - and @Close is one of the strongest options out there for early-stage teams focused on high-volume outbound sales. It particularly nails cold calling - with some of the best phone features on the market. My cliff notes 👇 (N.B. Not an ad – just love

In 1764 James Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny - and fabric production went from slow & expensive to fast & cheap. = The number of producers exploded = Differentiation got much harder = Trusted brands rose (Hermès - 1837, Levi's - 1853, Louis Vuitton - 1854) Feels like a

I can't breathe without seeing a tweet from a VC telling me to only use 7 slides in my pitch deck, to 'bring energy' to my Zoom pitch, or to only fart sideways when driving down Sand Hill Road. But it's absolute tumbleweed when it comes to founders returning the favour to VCs.
