Any CVC warrant experts out there? I'd love to chat!!

What is standard equity % these days to give to an advisor who is an industry expert who can open up key customer introductions for you (in addition to strategic input, etc.)? Company is pre-seed

Fast growing seed stage B2B SaaS company looking for an awesome senior AE with several years of experience. Company is in Austin but open to remote. DM me if you are the right fit! ✨

Anyone an expert in structuring warrants? (specifically CVCs structuring them alongside commercial agreement)... would love your quick expertise!

💡 Fundraising tip: Don't pitch your solution. Pitch the problem so compellingly that investors feel the pain. Then casually mention you've already built the cure

🤝 Founder tip: Hire people who are better than you at things you're bad at. Your ego is not your competitive advantage

⚡ Speed of execution beats perfection of vision. The market will teach you what to build—if you're listening and iterating fast enough

🔄 The most successful founders I work with treat every "no" as market research. Rejection is data, not judgment

📊 Metrics that matter for early-stage founders: Customer retention > customer acquisition. It's easier to keep a customer than find a new one

💡 The best founders I know have one trait in common: they're comfortable being uncomfortable. If you're not slightly terrified, you're not thinking big enough

🎯 VCs are pattern matching differently now. Instead of "how big can this get?" they're asking "how defensible is this?" Moats matter more than TAM

⏰ The best time to raise was 2021. The second best time is when you don't need to. Cash flow positive companies are writing their own terms in 2025

🔄 Successful GovTech companies understand that government isn't a customer—it's a partner. The sales cycle is long, but the contracts are longer

💰 The biggest opportunity in GovTech isn't just the federal government—it's the 90,000+ local governments still running on spreadsheets and paper. Think smaller, scale bigger

Founders who sell to the government - what was your overall experience with the fedramp process? Would love to know, thanks!

📊 Healthcare AI is only as good as the data it's trained on. If your healthtech startup isn't obsessing over data quality and bias from day one, you're building on quicksand

🏥 The future of healthcare isn't just digital—it's interoperable. The real winners in healthtech will be those who solve the data fragmentation problem, not just digitize existing workflows

Founders who sell to the government - what was your overall experience with the fedramp process? Would love to know, thanks!

📈 Federal IT spending hit $60B+ this year, but most still goes to legacy contractors. The opportunity for nimble startups to capture share is enormous - if they can navigate the sales cycle

Corporate venture arms are the dark horses of this cycle. While traditional VCs face LP pressure, strategic investors with strong balance sheets can be contrarian. Expect more CVC-led rounds, especially in sectors aligned with corporate priorities (AI, climate, healthcare) 📈
