I interviewed 12 very successful founders about how they developed leadership skills? The answers surprised me…Nope, not HBS, McKinsey or training programs. The answer was that they had to organize volunteers at a young age. Some led church groups, student orgs, local…
See you there! 🚀
Just checked our Airtable. We have 37 companies in market right now raising capital. VC friends at all stages and verticals, you’ve been warned, you’ll be hearing from me 😻
Come to think of it… I’ve never lost a deal to a founder I’ve met with in person. Maybe virtual isn’t so great after all 🤷🏼♀️
One of my favorite lawyers at a big fancy firm just got a venture round done for only $5k. Nature is healing 🌳🌳🌳
Sometimes when a founder has a lot of conviction it comes off as being difficult or pain in the ass. I met a founder recently like this and was quick to judge. But upon reflection, he was just extremely passionate - a super positive founder characteristic.
According to @PitchBook there are too many startups. Nah👎🏼 Founders, don't let this dissuade you, it's an amazing time to build a company👍🏼
Hard enough to career transition into VC from another industry but expecting similar cash comp is unrealistic. Most people I talk to are coming from big cos, big tech, law, banking, consulting etc where the salaries are high across the board. Something has to give…
Now is a great time to start a business but not for the reasons everyone talks about… In this market the opportunity cost is low. If you don’t find PMF in 18-24 months, you’ll go under quickly and can move on.
Closed two deals this week (1 sales automation + 1 Latam fintech) and it’s only Monday. Let’s see what the rest of the week brings…🚀
Here we go again! Second earthquake felt on the upper west.
Received two decks this week where founders claimed to have hit product market fit. Yeah! 🚀 Only thing is that these were both pre-seed founders with early revenue / tiny ARR 😭 Upon reflection, I love the extreme optimism and hope that these founders can keep it up for the…
Every Seed investor’s dilemma: All my Series A buddies want to meet my companies early! All my companies are too early for my Series A buddies 🫤
Financial models are back! For years founders rolled their eyes when I asked them to take me thru the model…. ‘I mean we have one, but we are pre-seed so it doesn’t mean anything’ Yikes noooo.
I pass on a lot of companies where I like some things about the deal but have not reached conviction. I offer to stay in touch. 90% of founders don’t do this (I get it). But the ones that do, I always revisit the decision when they reach out - did I make the right decision,…

@jefielding This isn't surprising to me. See also: folks who have managed teams at very low paid jobs (lots of retail, fast food, etc.) Managing and motivating a team of 15yr olds making $4.16 an hour takes more skill than a team of 30yr olds making $150k.

@jefielding I'm glad you didn't only single-out sports. Yes, I've seen experience in sports translate to success in business. But just as often, I've seen leadership experience in youth programs or volunteerism translate.
@jefielding I’ve ran several student organisations! And I will definitely be on the lookout for this type of engagement and leadership/ops experience when recruiting myself
@jefielding It was the experience of founding a nonprofit peer-reviewed neuroscience journal at my university, raising money from the university, soliciting submissions from other universities, and building a team of 30+ volunteer editors that gave me the inspiration to be a startup founder.
@jefielding @jefielding games. So many of them played online games and coordinated guilds, raids, across 3-9 timezones before remote work was a thing.
I’m lucky. From the age of 6 people have always felt comfortable relying on me as a leader. Result? I’d prefer to struggle and damage myself before I let my team down. You trust me, I’ll deliver for you. Or die trying. That’s my creed.

@jefielding me doing non profit leadership taught me what my weaknesses and strengths were in terms of management better than any hackathon or professional experience
@jefielding Totally agree. I often describe most impactful role I’ve ever had as setting up a Youth club at 14. Inspirational and such a fantastic learning curve. Thoroughly recommended
@jefielding “Leading without formal authority” was high praise in GE’s performance feedback (back when the company was a leader in leadership).
@jefielding Looking back at it I assume you mean manages it vs administers. AL should be the administrator and the founder the advisor/manager?
@jefielding this makes a ton of sense but I would not have thought about it. nice insight
