Warning! VC narrative violation 🚨 99% of board meetings are a massive waste of time & resources. 🧵@attentiveHQ founder @BrianCLong + I reveal: Why CEOs shouldn’t keep their board in the dark & how to turn board meetings from CEO pageantry into the MOST valuable 3hrs/quarter
Google is terrified of OpenAI. Are its worries misplaced? A critique by Google senior software engineer Luke Sernau argues that open-source AI is the company's real threat, not OpenAI. Betting on open source has helped Google take on Microsoft before... bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Microsoft Chief Economist Michael Schwarz says AI "clearly" must be regulated. Why? "I am confident AI will be used by bad actors, and yes it will cause real damage." But he says lawmakers should wait until AI causes "real harm" before enacting rules. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Microsoft shoots itself in the foot, again. Outlook and Teams will soon ignore the default browser and open certain links in Edge side by side. Edge is arguably a better browser than Chrome. But Microsoft pissing off its users ensures Edge keeps losing. theverge.com/2023/5/3/23709…
Apple and Google have submitted a proposed industry specification to help combat unwanted location tracking by Bluetooth devices. They're asking for input from other companies. Tech companies love to launch first and deal with the consequences later. cnbc.com/2023/05/02/app…
Automattic drops Twitter. The company's WordPress plugin JetPack will no longer automatically tweet blog posts. Why? "Twitter decided, on short notice, to dramatically change the terms and pricing of the Twitter API." 43.2% of websites use WordPress. jetpack.com/blog/the-end-o…
The Super Mario Bros. Movie has crossed $1 billion globally at the box office. Not only is it 2023's first movie to do so, it's also now the most financially successful video game movie yet. All in just 26 days -- not even a month! Nostalgia wins again. variety.com/2023/film/news…
Spoiler: they wrote the bill with ChatGPT.
Arm is going public. The IPO is set to be 2023's biggest. The UK chip design firm reportedly filed to go public on the Nasdaq, seeking to raise $8 billion to $10 billion. For its part, the Softbank subsidiary says the size and range hasn't been set yet. reuters.com/markets/deals/…
Cloud spending grew 19% YoY to $63 billion in Q1 2023. That's a lot for a big market, but it's quite the slowdown from the 32% growth in Q1 2022. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google own 65% of the market. They'll do everything to keep it that way by charging less in the techcession.
Sony sold 6.3 million PS5 consoles in Q4 2022, up 215% year-over-year. Sony has now sold over 38.4 million PS5s since the November 2020 launch. The PS5 still has a long way to go. PS5: 38.4 million PS4: 117.2 million PS3: 87.4 million PS2: 155+ million PS: 102.49 million

For more excellent advice from a serial founder, including finding/testing PMF, selling/marketing your new solution & mobilizing your financial/legal/compliance functions, read @BrianCLong book #ProblemHunting 🎯. Order here! amazon.com/Problem-Huntin…
Try this approach at your next board meeting (I’m sending this 🧵to my @IVP portfolio founder/CEOs) & tell @BrianCLong and me how this changes your board dynamics and relationships.
Stop fearing tough feedback that strengthens you & your company. Dedicate 180 min to discuss big issues, opportunities & decisions w/ your board. Learn to trust your board & enjoy board meetings. vimeo.com/865666167#t=0
📆30 days & 60 days later: Hold half-hour update calls ☎️with your board, so they’re never surprised with new or changing information.
Consider taking real-time notes in a shared @googledocs. You’ll have a record of the advice board members gave, so if it changes over time, you can ask why. That context helps to develop a deeper understanding and higher trust between investors, the board and management.
Spend about 40 minutes per topic, with a short break in between. 3 hours is often the sweet spot for Series B, C, D private companies - enough time for ample discussion without your board zoning out. 🍽️ You can do a board dinner the night before to improve rapport.
📅t=0: It’s go time! 🎯Your board is prepared for a closed-door conversation about the 1-2, maybe 3, most important topics for the company. Start by taking 5 minutes to acknowledge what’s going great; so you don’t over-rotate on constructive criticism.
📆3 days out: Compile the uncensored survey responses 📝 to create a brief agenda for a private conversation. Decide whom from your exec leadership team will join you in the room. Prep them with the tough topics for their department that they’ll be asked to address.
Voice over the deck w/ a 10min @loom (@BrianCLong does it in one take). This saves the first 15 minutes of the meeting from a CEO soliloquy. 🎁Packaged w/ the pre-read is a brief, open-ended @googledocs survey to solicit honest feedback & uncomfortable discussion topics.
📆1 week out: Send a draft of the deck to your board w/ 5️⃣ bullets on trickiest issues in your sights. Include slides with metrics + departmental updates as the pre-read. @BrianCLong shares w/ @DocSend (also, 👀who’s clicking on which slides + for how long).
I’ve been in hundreds of board meetings for @coinbase @HashiCorp @attentive + many more since starting in VC in 2005. @BrianCLong has led board mtgs @attentiveHQ and Tap Commerce (acq by @twitter). Here’s his brilliant 💡framework to flip them into needle-moving discussions:
Your board is your strongest ally to supercharge your growth 🏋️- only if you bring them in. They can: 🔭Spot obstacles early 💪Strengthen your exec suite 🤝Provide connections to customers, partners & more The relationship should be a thing of beauty…
Learning to trust your board is the first step to running a great board meeting. Board members should be your confidantes + collaborators 🤜🤛. Keep them informed + engaged. Minimize surprises 😱. If you’re not sharing ugly truths, your board will seek them out themselves.
You’ve been lied to. The LAST THING VCs want to do is fire their founder-CEO. You’re the biggest reason they believe in your company. (If you choose hands-off VCs, well that’s fodder for a whole different thread…)
Instead of going into the hard stuff, you flip through a pretty deck full of metrics 📊. “Look at QoQ growth! But CAC is trending up a bit!” 💭"If I only share good news (and a small dose of mildly bad news), the VCs will be placated and I won’t get fired…"
Your board meetings are superficial because you’re afraid of talking about the REAL issues. Revealing 🩻 your company’s true challenges makes you feel insecure. Deep down, many CEOs live in fear of their board and getting fired by them.
Warning! VC narrative violation 🚨 99% of board meetings are a massive waste of time & resources. 🧵@attentiveHQ founder @BrianCLong + I reveal: Why CEOs shouldn’t keep their board in the dark & how to turn board meetings from CEO pageantry into the MOST valuable 3hrs/quarter
