Hierarchy of investors Level 1: Actively sabotage portfolio companies Level 2: Push bad ideas that lead founders down wrong paths Level 3: Distract companies with random obligations, ideas, etc that have to be fended off Level 4: Hands off, neutral, and generally supportive Level 5: Contribute in big ways in small number of key moments Level 6: Have sufficient context and experience to be an ongoing valuable member of the CEO’s team

Agree. Thanks to our investors @hiflossy is really right right now and headed up and to the right, right @SeigelSteve ? (Did I do it right?)
Will Quist@wquist
Don’t raise venture to grow faster. Raise venture to generate the data that you are really right - and that being reality right is really valuable to customers and investors.

3 Wolfe fam rules of investing w/ friends
1 will NEVER ask "how you doing" + you NEVER need to tell me nor feel need to spin
2 ONLY talk about biz if you want to complain or vent—I know how hard it is + I care more about you then the $
3 will invest $ amount fully ok to lose
nihal@nihalmehta
always invest in your friends startups. celebrating their Ws is one of the best feelings ever. (and, you're probably going to help anyway so might as well share in the upside) 🚀

I’m motivated to prove everyone wrong “chips on shoulders put chips in pockets” and my gift is my ability to suffer longer than anyone else 😂 cc @SeigelSteve

Every great entrepreneur has a true gift that propels them. Your gift is different from your motivation — motivation is core to why you do it; gift is core to how you do it. Motivation drives intention, gift drives actualization. In your darkest hours when your business seems trapped within impenetrable walls, it is your gift that guides you to create a narrow gate out — and it is your gift that shines the light on an improbable path forward. Your motivation can be easily articulated. Contra, your gift is often too esoteric to even describe. Your motivation is your guide from within. Your gift is your guide from beyond.

I wish someone had told me that being a founder is less about having good ideas and more about being relentless and not giving up. That's the real game.

All wars end with negotiation, but it's hard to negotiate when the other side's bargaining position is "you all die and disappear."

for a long time i said that antisemitism, particularly on the american left, was not as bad as people claimed.
i'd like to just state that i was totally wrong.
i still don't understand it, really. or know what to do about it.
but it is so fucked.
