@lyft if you are going to arbitrarily charge a wait fee because I took 20 secs to check the house door was closed, I am going to charge you for every time you make me wait longer than the announced wait time. Want to see who wins at that ???

@united who authorized you to store my picture and do a biometric-only boarding process? Did you copy it over from my passport? You certainly didn’t have permission for that either.

@avpbeach Agree. So what’s the plan for today ? We bought expensive tickets and got zero information as to an updated schedule.

Real VCs don’t always know SAFEs and they don’t offer adequate protections. I strongly discourage founders from using SAFEs in most case (there are exceptions) and standardize on NVCA standard docs (also available on the web). The middle ground is seriesseed.com docs.

I’m ‘leading’ a deal and using a standard YC Safe. One of the on-the-fence VCs keeps asking me to see the Safe before he decides if his fund will invest. And I keep directing him to the YC website… It’s the standard YC Safe! What do you need to see bro?? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fascinated by the phenomenon of late stage funds reaching out to early stage managers. We know you only do two things: (1) chase "obvious" late stage deals and (2) ruin early stage companies by coming in too early and breaking everything with too much capital and bad advice.

I spend WAY too much time helping founders to unlearn what they get from "brand name" accelerators who are giving them horrible advice.

Sales cycles shifted dramatically in 2023. Slower sales cycles create pipeline shocks & startups are feeling the impacts. But the latency isn’t evenly distributed. Startups selling to enterprises have increased 36%, twice those of Mid-Market & SMB focused companies.

The average startup saw a 24% increase in sales cycle from early 2022 to 2023. 60 day sales cycles are now 75 days.
