"How to design your fundraising strategy." New post coming out on Tuesday! 🤩 Who wants an early look?
Most 🤯🤯🤯 VC website I've ever seen: y-n10.com
The more inflated the language in your startup's pitch, the less convincing it seems. If you're a seed stage company, don't tell me you're transforming global this or poised to dominate that. Tell me you noticed something that might turn out to be an overlooked opportunity.
HOW TO TRACK YOUR REDDIT ANALYTICS Reddit is the #3 most visited website in the US. Yet, it has very poor analytics. Here are 3 tools I tested to track my Reddit activity. (Feel free to add more in replies!) Redective[dot]com - ⭐️⭐️ Shows your all-time posts and comments…

Let's be honest: if someone uses Microsoft Outlook, do you have an ever-so-slightly negative prejudice?
When reaching out to investors, don't make empty claims. ❌ "We have strong traction" ✅ "We grew revenue 20% MoM" ❌ "Our founding team is experienced" ✅ "CEO has 15 years in fintech, CTO was lead dev at Google" SPECIFIC >>>>>> GENERIC

@benbrownww @StephNass I think you misread the slide, look again 😉
Rest in peace Bernard Hill. Thank you for giving us the best speech in film history! 👑
@Cobra_FX_ Le souci est que derrière le même nom, il y a plusieurs espèces. Par exemple, derrière le pamplemousse, tu as le vrai pamplemousse (C. maxima) et le pomelo (C. paradisi) Et donc dans ta liste, 2 espèces Citrus maxima et Citrus reticulata sont les agrumes d'origine des autres.
@StephNass Other options. Connect with Steph's mother, then she can connect her to the other mothers, who can connect us to Steph's mom's friend's sons golf buddies, who'd connect them back to Steph and his network, eventually
@StephNass Disagree with this one. I’ve seen some obscene valuations at preseed, and it simply doesn’t make sense to invest due to portfolio math—even if the founders seem good. Also, setting a high valuation too early is bad for the founders too, setting them up for extremely high…
@StephNass Are you the guy standing outside his restaurant begging random passersby to check out the menu, or did you take a measured approach to knowing who your customers (yes investors are a type of customer) are so they hear through their network that they *must* meet you.
The more inflated the language in your startup's pitch, the less convincing it seems. If you're a seed stage company, don't tell me you're transforming global this or poised to dominate that. Tell me you noticed something that might turn out to be an overlooked opportunity.
People who say “Ask yourself if you even want VC funding” on panels at conferences where the topic is VC FUNDING are THE MOST ANNOYING PEOPLE ON THE PLANET!!!!
@Kazanjy here's my gripe re: starting mid-market >> more noise: broad category that spans high-end small businesses and low-end enterprises -- with pretty big swings in GTM structure >> do you go for 'high velocity' OR 'high-value' deals? Or is there something else? >> less…
I'm not understanding VCs listing all their investments in LinkedIn. I thought that's what your portfolio website page is for. I'm now seeing people put "Early Investor and Board Member" to qualify the stage of each investment as a job they've had. Maybe I'm just a bad marketeer.
@StephNass Self-Hosted > Gmail > Outlook >>> Yahoo > AOL > MSN > Comcast
I’m a GeneXers and when it comes to organizing emails Outlook takes the win over GMail
@StephNass It’s one notch above still having an @AOL email 😂 - which, crazy fact: 1.5MM subscribers still do! (Mostly older people, but I’ve met a handful of R.E. Investors over the years still using AOL email addresses)
@StephNass I agree! Investors aren’t giving you money because they are nice, they are also seeking your help to 10x their money! They need you as much as you need them. If it works out it’s a win-win, if it doesn’t work out you lose your time and energy investment and they lose money.
