@RobertMSterling Maybe this is why it’s called the Garden State?!
@RobertMSterling Too late - already connected during the whole “SMB Twitter Backup Community” debacle. Went about like Y2K did.
@Codie_Sanchez The absolute best part of my internship and first new hire role was getting to be in the room with skilled negotiators on huge projects and then deconstructing over dinner.
Keep your sales deck different from your investor pitch deck - both should be customized to get the most out of each meeting
@Slackwatercap @Rykonaut Same - mine should now be open
I don't know who needs to hear this, but trying to win enough pitch competitions to get your startup fully funded is not a fundraising strategy.
I want to invest in whatever Ryan Reynolds is doing next
@markbdelaney You can also offer to cover it for them. I’ve seen $15-50 each. Some may already have a letter you can use. I looked into this last summer. I can send you a few if you want a few options. As for the process - that was the “cost” of investing.
@sbabmarks Great thread, Bruce. Can you say more about your intentional use of “minority owner” vs “investor”? What practical implications does that mean post close?
They said VC would be DEAD in 2023 ☠️ Nope. VC investment in SaaS is making a real comeback ...starting with this list of 142 funds that have made a SaaS investment since January If you want the list 1. Comment + LIke 2. RT + Follow so I can DM it (thx for the RT love🙏)
@SMB_Attorney I still go back to the fundamental question - how did we get to the rough proxy calculation being multiples for SMBs and cap rate for RE? We won’t get into startups doing the raise on premoney so you do math to get your proxy.
@brendan_aronson @barrettjoneill On the ROCs - Did you do them in the room being used or virtually? Did it involve everyone including the A/V team and the panelists? It was a great event. I enjoy hearing how you prepared for such a large group.
Alright, #SMBTwit asks and it receives! So, lets break down entities and how to smartly create and form your HoldCo entity structure. Grab a mimosa, and let's dig in! 🧵
Anyone feel like doing a thread on setting up holdco entities and how to smartly craft the operating agreements between the holdco itself and subsidiaries? @girdley @HoldCoConf @ChandlerReedSMB
@GoalsBDunn @kowittj That kind of endorsement warrants a follow. Done!
I'm looking forward to attending the Military Veteran Startup Conference in SF on Feb 2 & 3. They are expecting >300 milvet VC, founders, and opeators in-person for this event. @brendan_aronson and the Context VC team - thanks for organizing! #mvc23
