Who's building in the IRL experiences space?

@meaganloyst most teachers stopped learning a long time ago.

"The use of AI is prohibited" Just heard this in one of my lectures & I almost laughed... If we're entering a world that's increasingly becoming dominated by AI, why not teach us, or rather encourage us to use the tools at our disposal effectively? Agree or disagree?

Delta giving 30,000 bonus miles and FREE Corporate SkyBonus ✈️ Accounts to founders & VCs in my network. Who needs one?

@emollick Hmmm, first thought... Is this case study really an apples to apples comparison if the non-founder VCs & successful founder VCs have on average 2-3 years more tenure in venture than the failed founder VCs examined? That's 1-2 more funding rounds on the life time portfolio, no?

Founders can become venture capitalists, but that isn’t always good. About 7% of VCs were founders. 70% of them were unsuccessful founders, 30% successful. Successful founders perform 6% better than the average VC as they provide better guidance. Failed founders do 4% worse 1/2

McDonalds sells 1M burgers a day. That doesn't make it a five-star restaurant. Kanye West is not a genius. He just flips burgers.

@lolitataub Depends on your traction, but in general you have to ask yourself "as a B2B founder is $100K enough for me to build a working MVP and close my first customer(s)?" or "as a B2C founder, is $100K enough to hit $5K-$25K in monthly revenue?"

🤔 Asking for a founder: what risks do I face if I raise $100K for $1M post-money?

@paddycosgrave Hmmm, couldn't we say the same about LPs investing in funds the sizes of which were clearly unreturnable? At a certain scale, a $50M seed round starts to make sense if you ever want to return the fund.

As an LP in multiple venture funds here’s my advice to VCs: Stop writing advice threads for startups and start writing explanatory emails to your LPs as to why you deployed their capital at suddenly indefensible valuations
