being junior in vc maybe the worst job in tech: 1. difficult to become a partner 2. you deal w/ large egos 3. no transferable skills 4. if you start a company and your former fund doesnt invest nobody will 5. you learn social habits that make you insufferable

We’re introducing a new offering called Gemini Business, which lets organizations use generative AI in Workspace at a lower price point than Gemini Enterprise, which replaces Duet AI for Workspace Enterprise.
@nikitabier Best bet is to reference check prospective investors with other (exited) founders. You’ll quickly learn to avoid firms like CRV who routinely pull this with early acquisitions.
product demo: catching cap table errors
Lots of demo requests! Here ya go! What's happening in the video: • In-app warnings indicate potential errors • Document-vs-cap table comparison enables check • Admin confirms error (can click 'ignore' if false pos) • Admin takes the necessary corrective action
you can get almost all of these by simply shitposting on twitter
being junior in vc maybe the worst job in tech: 1. difficult to become a partner 2. you deal w/ large egos 3. no transferable skills 4. if you start a company and your former fund doesnt invest nobody will 5. you learn social habits that make you insufferable
This might be the end of @cartainc as the trusted platform for startups. As a founder it feels kind shitty that Carta, who I trust to manage our cap table, is now doing cold outreach to our angel investors about selling Linear shares to their buyers.
how to learn how to learn: 1. try to do things 2. see what happens 3. figure out why 4. repeat
sometimes designing is dangerous because seeing the thing in figma gives you 90% of the satisfaction but you still need to ship it
@lpolovets We had the same conclusion at angellist. Disclaimer: you need to have a basic input filter and first round access
A fun illustration of power laws: there were about 2,000 seed rounds in 2008-2010. If you invested the same amount into every single seed round during that period, Airbnb by itself would give you a 3.5x fund (because it was a 7,000x outcome).
If somebody says that you haven't communicated a clear vision, they're right by definition. Saying "they just don't understand the vision" is a total cop out, half the battle of setting a vision is ramming it in people's faces until they can't deny its existence. People…
