@HumansNoContext @grok is the math correct?

0% understanding 100% trusting

The stigma around founder secondaries is outdated and harmful. Every time I advise a founder on taking secondary, I hear the same tired arguments against it: 1.    "You don't believe in your company if you sell early" 2.    "You'll get too comfortable and stop working hard" 3.    "It's complicated and distracting" All three are patronizing nonsense. Selling secondary should be just another financial transaction, no matter when it happens. Yet there's a near religious belief among many that it's somehow a moral failing. The reality? Founders with some financial security can take BIGGER risks, not smaller ones. This is especially true for those with families or without other assets. Here's a simple formula: Every time a company raises, allow founders to take up to 10% as secondary. This creates clear standards and acknowledges the reality of today's extended pre-IPO timelines. The tail shouldn't wag the dog. Building a company is hard enough without pointless financial martyrdom. What's your take - overdue correction or slippery slope?

@jorgebarba @evernotehelps @evernote Same on Mac OS Sonoma 14.1.1 with Evernote 10.67.2 : slow, laggy. What's up with that @evernotehelps ?

@evernotehelps the latest version of @evernote 10.67.2 lags. Something as simple as scrolling and switching between notes and notebooks. I’m on Windows 11.

Les leveurs de fonds FR sont reconnus par l’international comme une sorte d’aberration locale si fortement enracinée qu’elle en est (presque) acceptée… Mais du coup les copains leveurs, vous pourriez arrêter de prendre des fees sur les historiques qui mettent leur pro rata ?
