Something is happening in pre-seed / seed that I think needs to be amplified more. The gap between pre-seed and seed is getting large. More >>

Yesterday, we hosted 26 AI founders, CEOs, and CTOs for dinner. I was in awe of the people in the room... Some of the founders in attendance: - Raised $30M in venture capital before he could legally drink alcohol (21!) - Sold two of his companies to publicly traded, billion-dollar companies - Dropped out of school to build an AI company with 2M+ users and 3M+ in revenue - Raised $5M to build an AI app for anime fans with 2M users - Founded a healthcare company that scaled to thousands of employees - Built the world's largest Minecraft server with 5M+ users Thank you to @jbrod & @abekwon for the partnership. Please DM me if you'd like to join the next dinner.

Helpful insight from @cartainc's @PeterJ_Walker on summer fundraising. Conventional wisdom is that summer is toughest so this is eye-opening. Just remember this reflects when deals close. Term sheets are typically issued 4-6 weeks prior to closing! @LowensteinLLP #startup #VC
Peter Walker@PeterJ_Walker

Founders - you can raise VC rounds in the summer. Across most years, the worst month for signed venture deals is actually January. July isn't so great either - but June and August are usually pretty decent! Deals are not always begun and signed in the same month, obviously

Important reading on the Moelis decision in Delaware - for any venture capital / emerging company lawyers. What are the implications of 'freedom to contract' (as proposed)...thx @anatalonbeck & Prof Fisch
Anat Alon - Beck@anatalonbeck

Professor Jill Fisch and I published on @CLSBlueSkyBlog a comment on the proposed amendment creating § 122(18) Delaware General Corporation Law! If the legislature adopts the Proposal, the Moelis decision will be reversed in its entirety less than six months after the opinion was issued and prior to any Delaware Supreme Court review. Delaware has long been a preferred jurisdiction for incorporation due to its well-established and predictable corporate law framework. Rushed legislative changes that disrupt this stability and that do not give these issues the attention they deserve could erode Delaware’s competitive advantage. I’m looking forward to speaking before the Delaware Senate Judiciary Committee today! clsbluesky.law.columbia.edu/2024/06/10/doe…

Do you think about the age of a founder when investing? If yes, why?

Two ways for an AI company to protect itself from competition: (a) depend not just on AI but also deep domain knowledge about a particular field, (b) have a very close relationship with the end users.
