No emotion just facts and undeniable truth‼️ Exactly this. The glorification of wealthy people and the excuse of their evilness‼️

Interesting thread from @christianreber. Pay attention to what constitutes good or great growth. If you are underperforming these metrics, you may need to take more radical action to extend your runway...
Tech stocks had a very tough quarter, and investors and founders are feeling ripple effects. Companies like $ZM, $TEAM, $HUBS or $PATH are down >50% vs. 6mo ago. Every startup is thinking about it, so here’s my view on what’s going on, and how we’re navigating this at @Pitch. 🧵

@donal_cahalane Thanks for the shoutouts DC - @drewosullivan & I did a session at #VCC2022 for @Inter_Trade about #investor relations post fundraising & how the smart #founders work to (a) keep their angel investors on side for the long term & (b) effectively “harvest” their investors’ knowledge

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

Irish founders: myself and @kellyf2 are actively angel investing in early stage, compliance driven / regulated spaces. Anything with room for automation and great UX. My DMs are open. Zoom / in person is good. Even if you just have an idea and feedback, reach out!
