Jack Hughes for the gold.

VCs need to be value add NOW not blame founders. We are talking to 100+ portfolio companies assessing their needs and plan to bridge where we are a lead or major investor at our cost of borrowing only or under special circumstances where a company’s investors can't respond

Utopia isn’t found. It’s built by founders who refuse to accept the world as-is. Progress favors the bold and we like backing bold, impactful companies early!

(US only) I’ve observed that people who were recruited college athletes are excellent in several operating roles. Their work ethic, ability to balance priorities and team spirit is exemplary. Strongly recommend hiring a few fresh out of college and training them up.

DIVERSIFY YOUR EXPERIENCE There is a unique synergistic benefit that one gains by working both at startups (< 50 people) and large companies (> 500 people). Startups teach you scrappiness, agility, humility, hustle. Larger companies give you functional depth, expertise in processes to handle scale, reps in cross-functional collaboration. Experiencing both journeys fundamentally changes how you approach work. It makes you a more empathetic, effective (and successful) employee and colleague. For me, after spending several years at Google, starting a company in 2008 was a massive shock to the system, but the two experiences together made me an infinitely better doer and leader than each on its own. Implications: 1. Companies large and small should screen for people with both kinds of experiences. 2. Individuals should actively diversify their experience across these two buckets. Doesn’t need to be 50-50, but even 70-30 or 80-20 can massively change how effective you are in your next job.

Bill is without doubt one of the smartest people I know and always worth listening to. Most people dramatically underestimate the remarkableness of this bull run. Such things are unstoppable … until they aren’t. Markets teach. The lessons can be painful.
