The artist formerly known as @StartupLJackson until I cashed out & bought Jimmy Jam's old crib on 'tonka. Get ready for some northern (risk) exposure, bitches.

Taking startup advice from a career BigCo middle manager is like asking a dairy cow how to win the Kentucky Derby.

If you want to get rich without losing your mind just move to the Midwest and become a full time angel investor. Only take pitches over 18 holes. Send term sheets for $51K for 51%. Find one Luke Farritor a year and you’ll be retired within 10. It’s really not that complicated.

Percent of Twin Cities MSA residents that are black = 8.5%. Percent of Twin Cities MSA residents that are black that have raised > $1M in VC in last 5 years = 0.00097%. Pick any factor related to wealth and power and plug into the second figure and it still works.

Lot of masks coming off in the Twin Cities right now, and all I gotta say is it’s about time.

@robertjweber Man, with a portfolio and reputation like GNL’s I really wouldn’t be out here torching founders’ judgement with shitty little Page Six blind items, I’d be trying to do anything and everything to stop looking like the damn clown car.

Investor red flag… After a sizable funding round, a startup founder is consumed with the buildout of their physical HQ space. The said founder posts countless times showing off their new space. Me- I’m really glad I didn’t invest in that startup.

Okay now I’ve seen everything. Marketing agency with no significant product or startup track record launches a venture fund promising “unprecedented access to the future” despite a logo lineup that screams yesterday’s news. Pass. demosfunds.io

Also: tell your peers what you make! Midwesterners are weird af about money. Comp secrecy *only* benefits employers. Hard to know how much to ask for if you don’t know where the ceiling is.

Let’s get one thing straight: if you in VC, you in finance, not tech. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
