@ankurnagpal Thanks for sharing! Would love to get a copy.

I wrote a 20,000 word Notion guide on Personal Finance for Startup Founders Covers equity, fundraising, how to set up cap table, raising money, taxes, hiring & compensating your team, running finance, selling secondaries & exiting RT or Comment this post & I'll DM you a copy

@jon4growth a very unpopular opinion.

speed isn't king when building startups. choosing what to prioritize is king.

@immad Working on a Celebrity Greenbox, an e-commerce/marketplace to help celebrities sell their preloved items to their fans. Think of Poshmark but for celebrities.

Respond to this tweet with a startup idea. I will tell you whether I would take a investor meeting or not and why for that idea, assuming it came in from a strong warm intro. Hopefully it will be useful feedback!

@jefielding I have an existing startup and we need an experience co-founder. This may sound trivial but this is a $80Bn industry, we're working on helping celebrities sell their second-hand items to their fans. Please let me know if you wanted to hear more.

I’ve now caught up with 3 different super experienced founders who are ready for their next startup. Thing is, no big idea… Interestingly, all 3 are thinking about bypassing idea stage and instead teaming up / buying into an existing startup. Likely seed stage, perhaps hit a wall and running low on cash. Lots of these around these days. I love this concept and wonder if anyone is working on pairing up these folks up? Big opportunity right now to join forces as the market consolidates 💥

Knowing what you know today of a successful business e.g. Amazon, if given a chance to invest in that company when they were just starting, would you invest? why and why not? in what company?

@lucy_guo Noted. Thanks!

@ArvinTorres29 I don’t look at message requests

Looking through my DMs and seeing missed unicorns (at seed stage) in my message requests is truly depressing.

@TheFinTechRonin @_LotheLegend 🤣🤣🤣

@_LotheLegend Exactly!!!! Like what are we supposed to do, be like: "Oh nooooo, there's not going to be enough money around be invested that we didn't get anyway...." or "Damnnnn, the VC's that ignored and didn't fund us anydamnway are cutting back..." I wish any of us would...😠😂

Ok, so I'm embracing what got me here and about to potentially "choose violence" and weigh in on the recent change in the VC investment climate... yep, it's a 🧵... *cracks knuckles* So let's go:

@hpierrejacques People are innately good because our creator is good. But sometimes being good and doing good is hard to do. Working on something to make it easier for people to do good.

- Giving doesn’t make you less happy but more happy even though you have less - You might want more but you don’t need more Giving is a sensitive topic in church as money is sensitive for us as humans. Ultimately what you give is your choice and should be what’s in your heart.

Sunday message (Vous): Living Generous - Generosity is a privilege, it is giving more than is required - Many of us are seeing the world from a stingy mindset with money and stuff in our eyes - A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle

@vc A 14 minute delivery time. Founded by someone who have pedigree and or someone who have a successful exit. Never mind the idea, execution is key.

Finish this sentence… The strategy for succeeding in the 15 minute grocery delivery space in 2022 is _________

@nic_detommaso Yes it is. However without pedigree nor an impressive background, first time founders won't even get any respond. 😔

Convincing people to take a chance on you before you have the experience or the track record is where real success happens.

@shcoin3 @martyrdison 🤣

dating sucks when most successful tech guys choose to date models/actors and all i can do is make a subpar excel model

@Psyche_OS @martyrdison Apparently those successful men in tech are the same men ignored because they weren't "successful". 🤣

@martyrdison "Successful" defined as? Hypergamy is real. And so are the effects. 90%-95% of the men (in any segment) are invisible. Women compete and fret over 5%-10% of men who have their pick of the field. Then sadness, depression, and/or anger when that pick doesn't include them.

@Sayar_Gyi_ @rsg 🤣

@rsg Let's keep telling ourselves. It might become true

Yes, art NFTs have crashed hard. But who cares? We all only bought it for the art, yeah? It’s all about supporting artists. I’m not trying to make a profit here. Wait. We bought it for the art, yeah?

@farshadtaheri @rsg Hahaha

@al1meister Thank you @al1meister

@ArvinTorres29 Won't know till you put yourself out there and try! Ride the #web3 wave, but be sure it delivers value :)

NFT raising more money than my startup. Could someone help me make an NFT for my startup. It could be worth millions in the future if we succeed. Or nothing if we don't. Either way it'll be fun. Not knowing which is a joke.

@justingordon212 Currently looking for a CTO and someone who has connections with celebrities. I would love to connect to a mentor who would help us maximize the potential of our startup.

@ArvinTorres29 And what are you looking for help with? You mentioned looking for help, but not investment

FOUNDERS What do you need help with right now?

@justingordon212 Thank you! I really appreciate this.

@ArvinTorres29 What's your startup? Who would you like to chat with? I'm very protective of my time, but if I know someone, happy to try and connect
