We just closed Weekend Fund 3. 😊
Our latest early-stage fund is backed by 350+ operators and founders, a foundation for our upcoming community projects.
Here’s how and why we raised from so many (exceptional) LPs.

Successful startups often appear like they have everything figured out but inside it's a complete mess.
This isn’t a justification for mismanagement or chaos, but it’s useful for teams to acknowledge that building something new is hard and messy.

We’re seeing a wave of powerful “no code” tools enter the market.

“Why
@naval
Thinks Remote Work Is The Future”
I don’t think I’ll ever start or work for a company that doesn’t have a strong remote-friendly culture. I prefer the lifestyle of a distributed team and am more productive when I can choose my environment.

East coast is the best timezone.
I can do 4 hours of focused work and go to the gym before most of the west coast wakes up. It’s also easier to schedule calls with founders in Europe.

I grew up playing soccer. At the time I didn’t realize the impact competitive sports can have on shaping one’s:
- Work ethic
- Resilience
- Morals
- Social skills
- Leadership ability
And so much more. Thanks for this, Mom and Dad. 🙏🏼 ⚽️

Many remote workers have shifted to multi-city living to optimize quality of life and finances (e.g. 60% in city A, 40% in city B).
Is there a word for this? “Nomad” is different.

Founder tip: Send your investors monthly updates.
I know it can be annoying and I’ve missed months when things are hectic, but it’s for your benefit. It’s a great way to:
- Get help (ask for it!)
- Build trust (very important for raising the next round)
- Reflect internally

I’ve moved almost all of my meetings to video calls. This includes 1-on-1’s, project discussions at Product Hunt/AngelList, and founder meetings at Weekend Fund.

Some founders/managers feel threatened or uncomfortable hiring people that are more experienced or different than themselves.
A good rule of thumb: Hire people you can learn from.
