The magnetic pull of San Francisco for startup founders is at a 10 year high.
When you make a big decision it is optimal to mentally make it, and let it rest in your head for 24 hours - like putting on a new shirt in the changing room - then only after it settles well in your head for a day, you take the action to make the decision final.
Congrats @collinmathilde on your inspiring leadership and incredible run!!
Congrats @collinmathilde on your inspiring leadership and incredible run!!
Never disparage competitors. Acknowledge them, factually, including their strengths. Then, promptly move to your vision and how you are building something better.
LPs now view most multi-stage VC funds as venture beta.
All Y Combinator funds start at a ~2-3x mark up. Demo Day doubles (or triples) the value of their funds portfolio. They are truly playing a different game.
The likelihood of a VC having two incredible decades is the equivalent of a Founder building two unicorns startups.
Hierarchy of dealflow: Founder <-> Founder Angel <-> Angel Founder -> VC, Angel Angel -> Founder, VC VC -> Founder, Angel VC <-> VC
Restraint - when a founder has the power to do something, but won't - is one of the strongest markers of success: They could raise, but won't. They could hire, but won't. They could launch another product, but won't. It a blend of discipline, low-ego and long-term thinking.
Founders sometimes forget everyone who is on their cap table, but they never forget who wrote them their first check.
The most permanent feature of a new startup is its founder, followed by its market, and then finally, it’s product. You should evaluate a seed stage company in that order.
I have yet to meet someone in Silicon Valley with authentic hustle and drive who didn't become successful.
It's easy for investors to dismiss a seed stage company close to death. This is actually when a startup possesses the most potential alpha. True, the likely case is that they won't survive, unfortunately. But it's also the most likely time for something extraordinary.
It’s often not well understood how much product evangelism a founder needs to do to set a fire. Build it and they will come is a harmful myth.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce several important milestones at Vanta, including serving over 7,000 customers and earning $100mm ARR in <5 years. Vanta’s ability to help our customers streamline security programs and automate compliance has never been stronger. 🧵
👏Goodbye, Google Search👏 Starting today, you can now set Perplexity as your default search engine in Arc browser...

@tmrohan Yep. But not a 15 year high 😉. Go back that far and the bay was the only option for any kind of founder.
@tmrohan I’m in LA and wish they would finish the bullet train to SF already! Will it ever happen??
@tmrohan Absolutely. It's the process of taking all the changes in.
