@SECBarstool Is A&M really that good? Their best win was what, on a lucky last second pass against Notre Dame? Have they beaten a ranked conference team yet?
It’s really tough to explain exactly how but a lot of the A&M stuff that comes across as culty suddenly becomes really fucking cool when they’re this good.
Maybe it was cool the entire time and I’m just a hater.
Investor AMA: Question on Evaluating Founders open.substack.com/pub/benwiggins…
"As an investor how do you evaluate your confidence in a founder? How do u gauge their ability to execute not just on the idea/product they are proposing but also handle growth and expansion in the future?"
100 ppl a week want to partner w/ me on something. I reply the same way every time: “Sounds interesting, move it forward.”
6 weeks later, 90 of them are gone. Six months later, 99 of them are gone. There’s one who keeps moving forward. Those are my partners.
Do the work.
The most-asked questions on our 300-member founder community are:
1. How do I build a deck?
2. How do I pitch?
3. How do I network?
4. What do I do for traction if no revenue?
We’ve answered the first three with educational webinars on our YT. Answering the 4th on Tuesday 🚀
