“Swift and Beyoncé could each have the highest-earning tour in history, with both expected to clear $1 billion in profits. Beyoncé is predicted to leap way beyond that mark, potentially making over $2 billion from her tour.” fortune.com/2023/07/19/bey…

If I see one more “economic impact of women this summer” piece that doesn’t include the Renaissance tour, I’m going to scream.

@Zecca_Lehn @ColinGardiner Definitely and to be fair, there's positive growth typically when a company is able to raise more capital! Footnotes and being able to explain methodology is key. Also, no benefit to showing an LP a faux markup that will likely flex down with more dilution.

@cmq22 @ColinGardiner Firms have their own unique valuation markup strategies outside of audited larger institutional funds.

Are funded higher cap SAFEs than your original investment in a portco considered a markup? Or is a priced round required? VC twitter let's hear what you think!

@ColinGardiner @Zecca_Lehn You shouldn't show a real markup when there hasn't been a priced round because none of you know your true equity ownership yet - so at best you're just guessing which is not great for talking to prospects! Speak to it without trying to do math that isn't precise.

@Zecca_Lehn But let's say you were trying to show potential LPs your portfolio was increasing in value.

@engineering_bae I love @getlupii ! Whole food protein versus protein isolates (which always make my stomach feel weird) and unmatched flavors especially the Lemon Tahini Cranberry. Also way more fiber than competitors. getlupii.com

@HeatherHartnett @galeforceVC @LinkedIn For date you connected (which obviously is not the same as when you met), you can click through to Contact Info and it will be listed there! I feel like there used to be a notes feature back in the day but they sunset it. 🙄

Yes, plus notes about where and date you met or groups you're a part of. So much low hanging fruit. @LinkedIn either has to make the data available so founders can build on top of it... OR new unstructured data models will be built to pull info for a new & improved personal CRM. Who is building this??

I wish LinkedIn had a check box for "I actually know this person". I would pay more money to be able to filter 2nd degree connections on this :)

@hanrosols 1. Pay those estimated taxes (I use a platform for invoices that takes it out) - both federal AND state (state is usually a less *optimal* process 2. Maximize pre-tax contribution opportunities: set up a SEP or individual 401k (high contribution limits!). Use an HSA if you can!

Just here to say that you can be all 1099 income and get money back on your tax return. AMA, pals✌🏼

@hanrosols Piece by piece - it seems easier at first but the fatigue of it taking so long kills you over time. All in one day is exhausting but when it’s over it’s over.

@emilyherrera Mm yes they have a lot of overlap w/ Burning Man boys ✨🚀☄️

Just discovered a new breed: Space Guys.

Run, don’t walk!

@erica_wenger Congratulations!!

Peep new cover photo & new tag in bio 👀🏕️

More brands should do this. Especially when I was younger, Father's Day sucked, and it was made worse by the incessant email campaigns. Huge reason I would unsubscribe, and I'm sure I'm not alone there.

@mtvsjackass The Brami tops from @Klassynetwork are meant to solve for this, even with larger cup sizes! klassyshop.com/collections/kl…

need to know what bra she’s wearing that looks good with that type of shirt . i’ve struggled with this all my life

@erica_wenger Babysitting when I was 12 after taking a safe sitter course at a local hospital! First paycheck-producing job was as a bus girl at a local pub in Newport, RI when I was 15 and 10 months. Parents set up a Roth IRA for me at the same time. ⚡️

Where/what was your first ever internship/job? 💼 (for me, it was the USC call center where we had to call alumni & ask for $! Good practice in getting comfortable with rejection 💪)

@erica_wenger Unfortunately for many people no amount of hustle can overcome systemic barriers to entry - so always caveat that success also involves a lot of luck too, not just hard work.

Do you believe pure hustle is enough to get you where you want to go eventually?

@batraatin Agree! If you’re not one of the earliest, largest ownership %, or most reference-able founders in a top logo, it’s just setting yourself up to look silly when someone asks about it. (They WILL ask)

Have heard so many folks advise emerging managers to 'logo hunt'. It depends on the circumstances ofc, but I think it's completely unethical to do so, in most cases. The usual assumption is that one must do whatever it takes to invest in 'hot' companies, even at the expense of ownership targets. Venture math is pretty simple - given a certain probability of success in picking the best companies, a Fund needs to own x% of the company at exit so as to return the Fund & more. If you're sacrificing return multiples (by investing at higher valuations or later stages), you're doing a disservice to your Fund LPs - the very folks who believed in you, took a shot on you, and put you in business! To me, it feels disingenuous at best, unethical at worst, that you would settle for lower returns to Fund (n-1) LPs so you can stay in business long enough to raise Fund n (& n+).

@_johnsonator This.

Sometimes I look at men and think is this the best the human genome has to offer?

@paigefinnn Big lol on the “don’t read every tweet” - that’s back when the feed was chronological!

8/ on managing twitter twitter time blocking - ideal is between 15-30 minutes & added to your calendar some don’ts: - don’t agonize over what to say - don’t read every tweet from people you follow plan for a ratio of 1:15 for “marketing” tweets

over the past three years, I built a twitter following of 32k+, garnered millions of impressions, and launched my career in venture. never really used a ✨strategy✨ so for fun, I’m reading a twitter marketing for dummies book from 2011 and reporting my thoughts live…[a thread]
