Found the “I” in team, Don’t tell me “I’m not contributing to humanity”
“Is Funding back?” What’s everyone thinking? I’ve had a lot of cold outreach from VC about our next round - are the markets financially moving? twtr.to/mNrXV
What’s your favourite financial modelling software?
The most interesting thing during our last developer hire run was the number of applicants that “didn’t want to code” “just wanted a leadership role”. Awkward interviews!
this part of Dune was cool
Amazing vibes @_southstart 2024 ... pianos, pitches, a freaking ferris wheel and of course a unicorn kingdom 🦄
I don’t understand how tech Founders have a life, Everyday is: wake -> work -> run -> eat -> sleep Not complaining, I find my life super meaningful- just curious. I certainly would opt for a 25 hour day, but that hour we be sucked into work. Maybe, autonomous agents?
Alternatives to Airtasker? I can’t prove I’m not a robot
Anyone know if lizard-people control our governments? I thought it was just greed
Yay! 🎢 🚀 🍷
Fraction-CFO? What does everyone do when they have multi-territorial accounts, complex loan agreements, Industry & research financing and a complex financial model?
Founders, we often walk the tightrope between the need to overachieve and avoiding the ‘overachiever syndrome.’ Is there a way to excel without falling prey to this syndrome? Do we rationalize, tolerate, or find a method to surpass our goals without fostering an unhealthy mindset
What a century 2100 is shaping up to be… and we’re only 23% through it.

@JacobManning I guess after hearing about ‘dry powder’ for so long the dam had to break eventually. Just hope the terms are reasonable and we haven’t swing too far in the opposite direction post ZIRP era madness
Just got GPT5 access. Holy fucking shit. Reply with your GitHub if you want to come try it out.
Financial models are back! For years founders rolled their eyes when I asked them to take me thru the model…. ‘I mean we have one, but we are pre-seed so it doesn’t mean anything’ Yikes noooo.
@JacobManning I spent years building/maintaining models & would always recommend working backwards from the needs of the audiences(models are mostly story telling/fiction if you go far enough out - but the assumptions is where the real gold lays) & then thinking about how you achieve this best
@JacobManning Whichever one your most capable at and is accessible to your target audience. No point grinding out a custom app for days if you had the skills to do it in Sheets in a day. Also if your target audience doesn’t know how to use or view the model then you’ve missed the point.
@JacobManning Maybe they've all caught word that they're being replaced with AI
@JacobManning I guess better to discover it in the interviews then 2 months into onboarding them
@JacobManning Seems to me the misunderstood the scrappiness and all hands on deck attitude of a startup
@abbe_hyde @JacobManning I definitely agree it's annoying! Everyone should of course do what works for them. I've not been able to justify that expense and have decided it's better for the co for me to take the annoyance and dedicate the resources to runway and alt hires. But that's just me 🤷♂️
@JacobManning There's a lot of work for sure! My observation is that the things that are truly outsourceable are just not that time consuming. Honestly I get the feeling a lot of folks hire EAs out of ego (not saying that's the case here). It's like a corporate entitlement to some.
@MJBiercuk @JacobManning It's the context switching that causes the time loss sometimes not the doing of the actual task. And noise. So much noise. Haha
@JacobManning @nick_farina It's just not realistically going to happen that way. Dealflow in a complex sector is not limited by how many hours I can crunch - it involves many moving parts, complex sales cycles, legal teams etc.
@JacobManning @nick_farina And if you do find yourself in a position where the number of minutes you have in a day is what limits dealflow, I'd humbly recommend putting the money to hiring a sales rep!
@nick_farina @JacobManning I just haven't found a single case yet where it's anything more than convenience. I haven't been able to bring myself to spend 100k+ pa on work that I can do in 30mins a day
@JacobManning Alternatively, the cash corresponds to runway that lets you land the deals over a longer period. 6.5 years in I can't identify much of a workload that holds me back. Booking calendars and managing travel is not that hard.
@MJBiercuk @JacobManning I know some people who've had really good results hiring chief of staff roles for small to mid sized startups and got really great results from it. What kind of problems are you trying to offload out of interest?
@abbe_hyde So happy to see you include communication in this stack of criteria. Gets forgotten about a lot in my experience
