it’s a pretty good sign of PMF for AngelList that i will only angel invest in a friend’s company if they’re using an AngelList RUV: because i don’t feel like i have the time to figure wires/documents etc, but AL RUV makes investing almost as easy as venmo
one thing they don't tell you when starting a company is just how often you'll need your co-founder's social security number (to enter into a government website, for example)
A lesson for me has been that management is a skill just like coding or designing or product management.
You can (and should) create a rubric and hire for and set expectations for management skills like any others.
i worked in vc for a year and realized pretty quickly i wasn't ready to semi-retire and still wanted to build stuff directly!
plus, seeing other people's startups up-close gave me more confidence to start my own ("if these people can do it, so can i")
who designed launchdarkly? and can anyone explain to me why you would *ever* want targeting on serving false?
it seems like LD turned a simple boolean into a 2x2 matrix totally unnecessarily
why does everyone want to be a Product Manager even though it's a really hard job?
(serious question! i have my own theories, but curious to hear others')
