Here are 25 bite-size early-stage sales lessons/learnings we’ve collected at @jjellyfish_co ... 1. 0-1 sales talent does not exist. Founders, this is you. 2. Product/market fit is (almost) always found in adjacent markets. Don’t handcuff yourself to Day 1 market vision. 3. The…
One of the most important skills of the best entrepreneurs; their ability to move from one rejection to another with no loss of enthusiasm or confidence.
Apple was 3 months from bankruptcy. Amazon’s stock once fell 80%. A last minute deal saved Tesla. Nike once faced a $25M crisis. FedEx survived by a Vegas gamble. SpaceX survived thanks to NASA. To all startups out there struggling, you’re in great company. Keep going.
The one person you can always bet on to employ you, is you. ✊ And I'm betting the future makes that easier 🍳. By a lot. Now's the time to start getting comfortable 🛋️ with being a founder in the future. We're going to have a lot of founders in a few years. And way fewer big…
Hiring is broken. 💔 It's been broken for a while. Everyone knows it. And this guy's working to fix it. ❤️ Everyone looks the same on a resume. And anyone can write anything. 😬 One of the dark secrets of the tech sector right now is you almost always need a referral. 🤐 In…
Be a founder who brings an abundance of time+energy ⌚️🔋 OR Be a founder who brings an abundance of money+experience 💰👴 Agree with the take? LMK. OR ask me a question about anything related to startups. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
👋 Ask me anything about startups. I want to help. 🙂 I'm on a mission. Imagine Idris Elba as James Bond but much much cooler and with dread locs. 😎 That's me and I'm on a mission like that. A mission to help 1,000 founders build a 1,000 startups. 🚀 The catch is I've only…
You know in Lord of the Rings when Gandalf 🧙♂️ finds the white cloak that 10Xes him over when he had the grey cloak. This is the white cloak for founders ✨ (If you’re a hardcore Lord of the Rings fan and your face is now scrunchy, that was intentional) Here’s the cloak. 🥋…
SoyKitty, cat litter so clean you could eat it. 😆 May have to get on this cat table. I mean cap table 🐶🤪 youtu.be/NsVl47UuDCY
Two questions every founder should ask in every pitch every time.
Earlier Siri told me I had a meeting from ten AM to one thousand and five AM. 😐
Pearl, working on the platform to launch scale and sustain home grown tutoring. Full pitch, 6m ⚡️: youtube.com/watch?v=F23-B_…
Changed a 💩diaper during a pitch for my venture fund. Solo parenting for the weekend 🤣 (that emoji is not chocolate ice cream)
❤️🩹 The best founders have high failure tolerance or build it. 6m on the Rocktown Pod w/ Emily Leahy ⚡️ youtube.com/watch?v=qZ7Mix…
Excited to launch @StradaHQ self-serve! We've seen a shift in the post-ChatGPT world. IT and Ops teams are starting to build automation with code. That's where Strada comes in -Connect your apps -Set up actions with no code -Get full control with Python app.getstrada.com/auth/signup
If a company’s product sucks, and you can’t stop using it, invest in that company.
Banking on it 😉 literally 😂
Enterprise sales is far more consulting than it is sales. You're building a pitch to their specific internal use case. Startups need to be prepared it's ... >>> team sport to get it closed >>> creation of custom slides/decks >>> detailed project plans/gantt charts >>>…

Hey founders: go to bed. You’re not giving up on your startup if you get a full night’s sleep.
A startup's Day 1 market vision is rarely ever the same vision that takes them to product/market fit. In short, give yourself 2-3X the time you expect to iterate, make mistakes, and allow rejection to redirect you. This wiggle room is lifeblood.
