The Twenty Minute VC

Honored to release ep w/ @peterfenton @benchmark on valuations, boards and the best founders thanks to intro @abrams buff.ly/2smnXVV

After 27 mins of interviewing @awxjack on 20VC, I asked in the middle of the show if I could invest in @airwallex. I invested $7M. Today, Jack announced Lee Fixel and Addition, one of the best in the world, have led a new round at $8BN. 20VC’s $7M is now $10.2M just 6 months later. Jack is one of the best I work with and Airwallex will be a $100BN company.

When 20VC led the Series A for Fyxer they were at $1M ARR. Today, they are adding $1M a week. 🚀

RT @Bouazizalex: No other place we’d want to announce this new. Thanks for having me @HarryStebbings !

Today @Bouazizalex announced that @deel have raised $300M at a $17BN+ valuation. He only did one podcast to announce the round and discuss the last 12 months. 20VC… coming on Monday 👇

" All progress depends on the unreasonable man because the unreasonable man is the one who doesn't believe in boundaries and makes changes. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. But reasonable men live within boundaries. You need unreasonable men to change things and move the world forward." One of the most special 20VC episodes we have done tomorrow with @mcannonbrookes @Atlassian

@alexiskold @HarryStebbings ❤️

@HarryStebbings Check out Smoke on Apple TV. Agree, the quality has been down overall. My one theory is people don't have time for TV because they are binging on @twentyminutevc?

What happened to truly great TV Series. We used to have: Narcos You Queen of the South Ozark What do we have now? State of TV series has gone way down… 😢

By the age of 18, you have spent 92% of the time you will do with your parents. One day they will be gone and you will regret not cherishing every moment with them. I decided to change that. Every Saturday from 7AM to 1:30PM me and my mother walk a marathon. It is the best time of my week. This week I asked my mother five questions. I recommend you do the same: 1. If you could relive one day with me, which day would you choose? 2. Were there any occasions I made you cry and didn’t apologise? 3. When did I make you most proud and are you proud of the person I have become? 4. If you could craft my future, what would it look like? 5. What advice would you give to me for when I become a parent? Ask these questions. Your relationship will change forever after these. ❤️

Team 20VC is here to win. Having an enemy is a luxury. Use it. Turn the competition into the most powerful driver.

60 mins to go to until this drops @ScottWu46 does not disappoint. 🔥 👇

I started 20VC from my family home with a $40 mic. Insane to see multiple studios being built at the same time in the new 20VC HQ. 10 year overnight success. LFG. 🚀

Robinhood is the story of the year in the public markets: Net revenue up 58% to nearly $3B; $500M loss in 2023 to a $1.1B profit in 2024. Stock’s up roughly 4x, lifting market cap to north of $80B (~150% YTD growth; 300%+ surge in 52 weeks!).🔥 I have the main man @vladtenev on 20VC tomorrow. What are the must asks?

Most podcasts are shit with investors because they do not include any numbers and they sugar coat their losses. This show is the opposite. - We made $800M on Coursera - We did a 3x on Postmates in 18 months - We lost $70M on 23andme - Getir was the worst period of my life - We made money on Lyft and lost $50M on Uber This show is just nuts and insanely honest! One of my favourites to do in a long time and Larry did not hold back. My 7 takeaways 👇
