The first Venture Fund for everyone. Join us!

Considering a rule of not investing in any 2x+ founders who didn’t send regular investor update in their previous company. 

The best founders I have worked with (and would back again) all did them, or at least called regularly, regardless of the outcome of the company.

Pretty good Black Friday. I saved…. all of my money.

New team members can increase speed in execution, but destroys speed in decision making, fixing core problems in a business, gathering feedback, etc. 

> Feedback loop gets longer (time). 
> Adds layers (dilution) between founder and data, customers, etc. 
> Too many people to keep happy in each decision (burden of proof goes up). 

Leaves founders a few options when decision making and data collection is most important:

> Don't hire anyone, reduce the team size. This is increasingly a great option given AI or if the founders just need a little more time to dial in. 
> Choose someone who can take the wiplash and just do the work, but they have to be extremely fast. 
> Choose someone who is a founder in their own write but within the org, but they have to have extremely good judgement.

One of our coolest investments is looking for a Power Systems Engineer.

🦄 <- This you bro ??

.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but you probably suffer from Unicorn Dysmorphia.

Symptoms include:
→ An irrational belief that your startup is a "rOcKeTsHiP 2 da mOOOON 🚀"
→ Holding out for a mythical VC to swoop in and save you
→ Wondering why every other startup is successful and you're not

Let me liberate you with a fact: only 0.00006% of startups become unicorns.

You're playing a game where the odds are stacked against you.

But the good news is you don't have to play the game.

You can absolutely:
→ Run your startup without trying to always please others
→ Find investors who actually want to help you and don't just see you as a potential paycheck
→ Fulfill your mission and find success on your own terms


The Anti-VC can get you there.

I've helped 1000+ founders find the best path to capital that worked for them.

And I can do the same for you.


So if you're ready to drop (Uni/Corn) from your pronouns...

If you're ready to undo years of VC brainwashing...
