Machiavelli's reading routine:
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.
AI will make expertise near free. Who will build the first billion $ revenue company with <100 employees with near free programmers/doctors/advisors/etc etc? Worth attempting!! The power of ideas powered by entrepreneurial energy will be hugely multiplied as the scarce resource
What’s in your control: - what you do - what you say - what you think What isn’t: - what other people do - what other people say - what other people think
A founder we backed was turned down by 100 funds before he got to us and a handful of angels who invested in the pre-seed round. Company is now past series B and doing great. I always remind founders that fundraising is just a numbers game.
A little bit of tough love: Your #1 as a founder is to prove that your idea has demand. If you can't figure out how to do that without funding, then you're not ready for primetime. It is now SO cheap to build v1 (especially in software) that you really have no excuse.
In January, I turned 38. I'll probably die in about 17,824 days (ChatGPT's best guess). Here's a list of 38 things I've learned over the last 13,952 days of my life so far: 1. If you're nice to someone, they'll probably be nice back. 2. Criticizing someone's ideas will only…
Dishonesty is the worst trait in a founder.
Whatever you're thinking about doing... Go big and do the damn thing. The worst thing that can happen isn't failure. It's never trying and drowning in mediocrity.
If you want momentum, you’ll have to create it yourself, right now, by getting up and getting started.
I can't stop thinking about this quote: "Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75." - Benjamin Franklin You get one chance at this life. Be relentless in your pursuit of your dreams.
Creating your own opportunities will always be faster than waiting for them...and that's true no matter what you do. Creating Opportunity > Waiting for it.
They’ll never see how hard you work. But they will see how good you get.
Did you just raise money for your startup? Have a coffee and some high fives. Save the champagne for the finish line because you have a race to run and the starting gun just went bang.
Impossible is Nothing. I'm so excited to announce the launch of our first Virtual Learning Classroom in Africa. Today 948 kids can learn remotely but we want to reach 10,000kids. Kindly RT & let's support kids across communities to learn during & after this period. #Slum2School
Is what I'm about to do today connected to what I'm going to value over the long-term?
The secret of a meaningful life is to have a multi-decade, ambitious vision that requires you to get smarter, wealthier, mentally stronger in order to fully execute it.
In 2005 @alexisohanian had an idea to start an online community. That idea became Reddit and today is its IPO Alexis I am so proud of you as a business man, My man and a dad. Congrats on your IPO! It’s crazy to know you have even bigger things you are doing ! 😍😍

@mwseibel Receiving VC doesn’t mean you’ve won, it’s just the beginning.
Extracting significant value (in non ZIRP times) from your startup requires more than building a company that startup investors are willing to fund. It requires building a company that either public market investors are willing to invest in (IPO) or that a public company is…

When you feel a bit lost, it’s important to remember the big picture and where you stand in the universe:
