@PRPLXD Don’t run him into the ground

SAQUON BARKLEY MAN

@shots_goal @artlevy This is horrible advice. The advice should be (1) find a bank that does sub $100M deals that focus on your sub-sector and (2) negotiate the Fee from 4% to 1% that scales with deal size.

@artlevy Interesting take - even at smaller TEV’s wouldn’t you want to hire a bank to run a competitive process? Assuming you don’t know the entire buyer universe and also aren’t a former IB/PE yourself, it’s difficult to launch and sustain a competitive auction

Tech founders should not work with an M&A bank if they’re selling the business for less than $100M. Here’s why (my take after 10+ years on both sides of the M&A table):

@callmehouck @Davidjpark96 Why are you attaching multiples to early-stage companies? That’s not how any good VC values a pre-Series A company.

@Afterma14189755 @rsg Your view of new housing is “how will this impact my properly value” lol. How would you view new housing if you didn’t already own. Ppl are making $500K / year here and still can’t afford homes it’s comical.

Conversely, my house in SF has also made incredible gains over the past 20 years. Admittedly, SF, a geographically small 7 mile X 7 mile City run by a NIMBY-mindset firm years resulting artificially small, expensive, supply. That being said, I’m absolutely in favor of developing affordable housing in SF, elsewhere, just not sure deliberate oversupply is a sustainable model for owners or developers. Or taxpayers, when it cost $1M per door to build low income housing.

There’s more high-rises under construction in Miami than every city on the west coast combined Growth with continue to flow to cities where their politicians don’t fundamentally resent growth

@emilmichael @paulg @DavidSacks Bill forced another Benchmark partner to cancel the firms partner meeting w/Rippling Series A because he’s poker buddies w/Sacks and “heard bad things”.

You were sanctioned by the SEC. Nobody else, only you. But you’ve spent the last decade trying to shift the blame onto others for your own poor ethics. 🤡

@defexe @PRPLXD why am I seeing viral vids of all time nba drafts? We were before our time smh…

@Samirkaji @zebulgar @FrancisSuarez Explain?

@zebulgar @FrancisSuarez The list has a ton of really good investors but this def not really objective. Never has been.

The most objective list of the best seed investors is Midas In this year's Midas seed list, 4 of the top 11 investors are in Miami Capital first, then founders, then talent, that's how we build a massive ecosystem cc @FrancisSuarez

@defexe @PRPLXD @ItsCuzzy Lebrons 2015-2017 Cavs would have won the last 4 chips. He should have close to 10 rings nba is a joke now.

@PRPLXD Ya man hit a 3 up 7 with 2 min left wow

ANTHONY EDWARDS IS SO FUCKING COLD

@defexe Uh oh

@HESaBSG Hey man they went from $8M to $10M over the last 3-years but will finish 2025 at $30M.

@PRPLXD @ColinCowherd What is wrong with u man

@ColinCowherd What happened to your little Twitter bit of “good news?” Tired of posting uneducated biased “sources” about Joe Biden’s America and getting absolutely taken to school every time? Fraud.

NBA about to ink a 7 BILLION dollar TV deal. The league is rolling in money & always will be. They have issues but have stars, it’s fast paced & young people connect to it, even thru apparel. Look at the playoff crowds. Electric. Say it out loud — STARS, YOUNG fans, FAST. 💰

@CasinoCapital @Restructuring__ (1) You’re not literally working the entire time but you are you in the office/online, (2) you can do 90% of the work without thinking at all, (3) most of my analyst class was on adderall

@Restructuring__ 120hrs a week = 17hrs+ every day for 4 weeks? Even if you literally lived next door to the office, I don't know how you'd function on 6hrs sleep a night.

BOFA FIG ASSOCIATE DEAD TODAY “He served as a green beret officer for about a decade and then went through BofA’s Veteran Program last spring, placing out as an IB associate in FIG. 

His first M&A deal got announced this past Monday. It was a combo of a buyside M&A deal + lead left for a follow-on equity offering to support the transaction. Folks in his group said he was pulling 120 hrs / week for four weeks straight and drinking excessive amounts of energy drinks to stay awake. “ “Left behind a wife and a kid” Absolutely tragic, guys remember this is just a job and at the end of the day, we’re all just moving money from / to the same companies / investors. No worth deteriorating your health, let alone your life and family.

@the_P_God @HESaBSG Leak the email chains - VP, ED, MD probably chasing 24/7 and couldn’t care less Jrs. are working 100+ hours.

@HESaBSG Staffer, MD, etc need to be fired. This straight up shouldn’t happen.
