"My advice to founders...take the bull by the horns. If you're sitting on the beach and it starts hailing and it's 30 degrees don't pretend like it's 80 degrees and sunny. Get your business into a mode where it's attractive to investors who have a much higher bar." @jrichlive

This is also a great litmus test for whether or not the co has 'outgrown' a leader who has historically been a top performer. The right folks will continue to find a way to rise to the occasion, everyone else will give you all the reasons why it's not possible.

I'd like to think of myself as a 10x founder, and therefore ten units of nothing is the only reasonable choice 🧅🧅🧅

Blade now generates roughly half their revenue (~$120M) and all of their profit from their organ transport business. They bought a company in 2021 called MediMobility which is now their biggest driver of growth. Wild. 🚁 🫁

All it takes is an hour to rough out generally how you might spend the money, what the biz could look like. Update it periodically as you understand the biz better. I've started three companies. Invested in 40+ - if you can't explain this stuff don't ask ppl for $500K to $1M+!!

Getting leaner and reducing costs is important, but running the same GTM play w/less $$ will only produce disproportionately worse results. The degree to which most growth SaaS co's need wholesale GTM reinvention is bigger than most ppl think!

One of the most dangerous things founders can tell themselves is "our VCs have too much invested to let us go out of business" - that isn't the case. They will. They are investors *not* benefactors. The bridge era is over and it's on you to figure it out.

There is a company called Zip Security sending emails to SMBs trash talking Electric and some other folks in the space. These super inexperienced teams should learn that the best selling point is the strength of your product. They make themselves look bad trashing others.

For years the Electric.ai domain name was so annoying b/c non-tech SMBs would ask if we were based in Anguilla. Glad it's actually working for us 7 years later 😂😂😂

Leave it to Porsche to blow Tesla out of the water. 0-60 in 2.1 seconds. 1,092 horsepower. Lap records at Laguna and the Nordshleife. Available at any dealership. It's wildly unnecessary and totally awesome. Sometimes you just gotta let the engineers go nuts.

More founders need to understand that ~20% growth + kinda sorta breakeven is a long road to nowhere and a waste of everyone's time (yours, investors etc.) Either invest in reigniting venture style growth (50-100%+) *or* start producing cash. Anything else is no-man's land.
