Hey ya'll! Thanks to many of you I raised a $50M seed fund, Twelve Below, to continue to do what I love: back underdog founders in fintech, health care and consumer. I wrote a little more about it here:

This thread 👇
1/ Many of the biggest implosions in recent history - especially ecommerce - have been due to startups getting addicted to paid marketing while fooling themselves on Customer Acqusition Costs. As spend scales, it always gets more expensive and harder to track - never less.

I’ve been hearing from friends and founders in Israel throughout the last few days, and what I’m learning and reading is absolutely horrifying. Acts of terrorism can never be justified. My heart is with my friends, founders, and partners in Israel and I stand ready to help.
