If your CFO hasn't got at least one vc on WhatsApp... Call me.
Just gonna say it. I don't like pitch decks. They're distracting and obfuscate the info. Longer form memo every time.
When a UK CFO says "I'm not sure that's a good idea" what they actually mean is "If you do that, you're going to go to prison."
Normalise being in your mid 40s, knackered, knees hurting, dealing with mortgage, *this* generation of kids, aging parents and... Still building.
But still a bit cost prohibitive for most people.

And yet...
As a human first and an Indian second... Yes, yes it is my responsibility, wait scratch that, my PRIVILEGE to take care of the people that gave me so much should they need that support. I certainly wouldn't assume they either need nor want it though.

What do people think the biggest CFO fail has been in recent history?
'Overall, fundraising for US VCs has tanked: the total raised last year was $81bn, less than half the haul in 2022, and this year is on course to be the weakest for fundraising since 2015, according to PitchBook.' on.ft.com/3wc8Wvi via @FT
Anyone seeing this happen? I mean as a founder surely that's a red flag, knowing that investor is actively considering a total portfolio exit? Essentially suggests not a long term partner. sifted.eu/articles/legal…
They don't have enough traction... On twitter.
I would be down with this all day e'ry day.

Read that as Pronouns Capital and literally had to double take.

Write a long form memo instead.
The more inflated the language in your startup's pitch, the less convincing it seems. If you're a seed stage company, don't tell me you're transforming global this or poised to dominate that. Tell me you noticed something that might turn out to be an overlooked opportunity.
Starting. Everything thereafter is amazing.

The most concerning part about this is that most Europeans don't realize how stagnant Europe has now become Europeans are literally blue-pilled and are mostly concerned with climate change, immigration and the Ukraine war Nobody in Europe is thinking why increasingly everything…
@BlumpfiXII I remember when the UK government posted a head of cyber security role with a published annual salary and you had a bunch of confused Americans in the comments asking if it was monthly.

@adsinuk It is absolutely our responsibility to help out our parents, family members and friends who are in need.
It’s that time of year! Alphonso mangoes are in season. Customs restrictions, transport costs, & short shelf life make them tough to get in the US. Call your Indian store to see if they can get you some. They sell out within hours of arriving from the plane, are worth it!
In India, entire streets convert to selling mangoes, the 1st day of mango season is so glorious with > a THOUSAND different varieties. In the US we’re lucky to even get a single variety and it doesn’t begin to compare to Indian ones. Mangoes from India were banned in the US…
@adsinuk @mr_james_c @drnovac Oh, and yours (esp when it featured me!) 🤩
Weird read. The UK isn’t in the same league as the US. Also, the hindsight that some Brits have for DeepMind is bizarre. European VCs wouldn’t fund it. Hell, most hadn’t heard of it when it was acquired. spectator.co.uk/article/how-am…
