Not sure if intentional, but sponsoring amateurs seems like an obvious plus EV move at the Masters. Only 5 amateurs in the tournament - so a 20% chance they pick the low-am and get their logo in front of everyone at Butler Cabin (for way cheaper than the big names) @tryramp…
Dude Perfect is so impressive. One of the only accounts of the OG YouTube Era to stay relevant over the past decade plus. Hand in hand with building a successful commercial engine as well. axios.com/2024/04/09/dud…
Unit economics + CAC payback analysis + cash flow forecast are staples of every engagement -- and especially relevant when investing into growth via sales-led motions (w/ variable contract & commission structures).

I think it's often short-sighted to think junior VC's / associates are a waste of time. In addition to the the immediate value of being gatekeepers to the firm's partners / decision makers: (1) They will go on to become decision makers *very* quickly. Promotion cycles in VC are…

Pretty much everyone I know who played travel baseball across the US looks back on it as one of the best / most impactful experiences of their life And only later in life can you comprehend the incredible sacrifice your parents made to enable that for you

Private market fundraising (VC/PE/Growth) should pick back up towards end of 2024, into 2025: Usually a 3-4 quarter lag on public performance. Note that "public" in asset allocator context usually refers to stock/bond mix -- 60/40 is the benchmark used here. If public…

Head of Blackstone's GP stakes business is leaving -- if I was a betting man, he got poached to join another mega fund about to announce a multi-$Bn GP stakes arm.

No way Capital One / Discover acquisition goes through right? Makes a ton of strategic sense for CapOne to finally own a card network like AmEx does. Almost too much sense though - this is the same FTC that just blocked Spirit and Figma.
Still trying to figure out what (if any) downstream effects, but I expect a wave of large funds selling GP stakes over the coming years: Large managers that raised a ton of $$ to deploy into private capital over the past few years (e.g. a16z, Coatue, etc.) are sitting on…

One surprisingly common finance mistake founders make (especially in DTC): Using a business card for personal travel points, and not for cash-back. Switching to cash-back is the lowest hanging fruit to improve your P&L and valuation **immediately** Many corporate card…

One unexpected side effect of working on Velo CFO has been getting to know incredibly sharp finance professionals interested in part-time CFO / FP&A work. There's a surprisingly large group of former Investment Banking / Private Equity / Hedge Fund folks that are in career…
Pumped to be heading back to NYC soon - will be there for a quick trip from Feb 9th - 16th. If there's anyone there I have to meet in the startup, VC, or finance world - please let me know! I'm around for coffee / lunch most days. Also, any new restaurants that are a must try?…

Ramp is completing a $150 million Series D-2 funding round, raising the company’s valuation to $7.65 billion. This round was co-led by @khoslaventures and @foundersfund, with additional new investors @sequoia, @GreylockVC, and @8vc. Our existing investors @ThriveCapital,…

@vibtweets @tryramp Could you just sponsor all 5? Is it cheaper than doing 1 pro?
Sometimes maybe (1) investors are lazy and herd-minded and are catering to (2) entrepreneurs who are early on and haven't been humbled by the collision of fantasy and reality yet? Much is being said on the first point and so on the second point: As founders we think that higher…
$10m Safe rounds happening because investors are reluctant to price the round. This doesn’t feel healthy or sustainable. Who can explain what’s happening here?
If just one, Austin. If you can split, Austin/NYC is the perfect mix. You can't beat the people/connectedness elements of Austin and NYC, each one for different reasons. I'm bullish on Miami for personal lifestyle that Austin *almost* hits, though that feels like retirement.

We use @vibtweets & team. HIGHLY recommend.
Was having a very hard time scaling any business beyond 3 million without a fractional CFO. We had unclear unit economics. We had no projection of cash flow. We were guessing financially at best. Has been incredibly easy to break through once the levers became clear.
BREAKING: The #Astros are calling up RHP Blair Henley, who will start tonight in place of LHP Framber Valdez, multiple sources tell KPRC 2. Henley, a 2019 7th round pick out of Texas, will make his major league debut.
@vibtweets I think it’s also just a reflection of the founders ability to work their way to the decision maker tbh. Choosing to filter your target based on seniority is silly imo. If you’re a first time founder you’re playing a volume game.
