Pretty crap that #LastFM blocks linux users on #Comcast networks with 406 network security errors. Didn't want that service anyway :(

Just got notice some #angel money deal got finalised. This SPV build and fund process takes more time than I expected. It's not just deal & a check in 48 hours. Unfortunately.

AI has *not* changed the core-risk-challenge of building a new business. You still need customers. You can prototype faster, you can market louder. Those aren't things addressing the primary risk: does anyone care #Lean

It's wild when investing in early med-tech stuff how quickly the valuation jumps after they pass their FDA [510(k)] validation

For #SAC29 we're in week 2 of the due diligence process; digging into these six finalist companies. One of the more exciting parts of angel/seed investing.

What happens when one of your early angel investments is then in line with another opportunity? Invest in both? Is there a terrible conflict? It's not like you know their secret sauce.

This is some pretty good content about tax code complexity and estate planning - youtube.com/watch?v=mX5U5D…

Why is it, when one calls for tech-support we get a human apologising for a robot and then making excuses for said robot? Beat the robot into submission!

Freaking heck! Get your deal-room/data-room ready for the deal. Don't be scrambling at the last minute. Documents, Contracts, Statements, LOIs, etc.

LMAO #Claude reporting to me "The OAuth flow in Claude Code has been a recurring pain point for a lot of users"

Are you using any AI tools to help identify parts of your #AngelInvesting deals? Better summaries? Data Extraction? Seems that any team analysis would be impossible, right?

"Emails aren’t getting through to one of your email addresses. Please update or confirm your email." is a false message from #LinkedIn; their system is broken; I've been told engineers are working on it (for a few months)

Another day, another unsolicited subscription from some #substack bullshit bot

When you're talking about your startup and respond defensively to client & investor feedback all you've done is show that you DON'T LISTEN. Why choose a vendor who doesn't listen? Why invest in a founder who doesn't listen? You show you put your EGO above your BUSINESS.

Gave direct feedback to a person trying #Entrepreneurship and wanting to get into #AngelInvesting -- you know you're not ready to invest when demonstration of facts and empirical data hurts your feelings

The world is full of folk who lack experience and think they can help your #Startup - check their credentials! Previous Exit? Existing mature business? Multiple rounds? Writing checks? Don't be afraid to ask them to prove it otherwise you waste the valuable resource: time

It's amazing that somehow #LinkedIn has managed to screw up something so simple as pasting text into the message box -- it triples the new lines in the pasted text. #AmatureNight

The email verification problem I've been having since early Feb with #LinkedIn is apparently a known issue to them and affecting multiple users #VibeCode

Just watched 70 companies do 1-minute pitches. Stop trying to close a deal in 60 seconds; focus in advancing the conversation and sparking investor interest. The least effective point is to mention your current raise.

It's 2026; we've known about #LeanStartup for like 15 years why are folks still spending 1000+ hours building a product for zero clients? Why didn't the #Entrepreneur spend 100 hours finding prospects? You don't need a product for prospecting!!
