Are you wanting to know how you can get value from a board, especially as a startup? Brad Feld & Matt Blumberg share all things startup and how there is no better time to discuss the value of building a great board than when you first start a company. thedisruptionadvisors.com/296-brad-feld-…
@jasminecrowe I second the @bfeld "Startup Boards" book recommendation. It's phenomenal.
@bfeld Back to school for me as well😁: - Startups Boards - Startup CEO - Startup CXO Other 2 I've already read👨🏻🎓 I'd be interested in any supporting materials plz (I did the Venture Deals course pre-pandemic). cc @mattblumberg
And so it begins... #JW4
Two good friends of mine published useful books today: 1) @nickgraynews's "The 2-Hour Cocktail Party" - Excellent tips on how to host gatherings to build your network amazon.com/2-Hour-Cocktai… 2) @bfeld's "Startup Boards" - Best guide to managing a board amazon.com/Startup-Boards…
It does and it does not seem like 11 years ago that @bfeld accepted an invitation to what would become the Rock Star Venture Capitalist Series at UW's Foster School of Business. Thanks again Brad. effgen.us/?p=2053
Thinking of this evergreen @ClintSmithIII poem at the end of this grim year. Here’s hoping for brighter days up ahead.
just ordered many copies of @bfeld's new book, The Entrepreneur's Weekly Nietzsche: A Book for Disruptors. Sending copies to @newstorycharity team members and entrepreneurial friends Brad - thx for consistently shipping content to help the doers amazon.com/gp/product/B09…

Finally reading Venture Deals! Seriously, I had no idea that startups roll a d20 in front of an investor to determine their valuation. I thought it was based on revenue forecasting. I was so wrong.
I'm still matching donations up to $5,000 to help Black founders who are parents launch startups - Then @davidcohen agreed to match $5k - My partner Yves Sisteron heard / will also match $5k. Please help spread the word. Even small donations help. Together we can grant $30,000!
@msuster Hey Mark! We have open applications for another round of $1,000 grants for Black ParentPreneurs via @ParentpreneurF. Can you please help with amplification? Thanks! parentpreneurfoundation.org/post/announcin…
I don’t understand how someone can: (1) live in a place for 10+ years, benefitting from all it has to offer, (2) choose to leave, (3) celebrate the demise of their former home town. Lots of places are hurting now; it takes a special kind of a*hole to piss on their former home.
