How many billion-dollar companies will be built in Chicago over the next 10 years? (For context, there have been roughly 16 companies founded over the past 20 years that have reached a $1 billion valuation.)
I follow neither of these accounts, but the algorithm gave me the most unreal tech parody setup ever…
Very excited for the future of Chicago when great people like @ellieINchicago & @neffer_eth are able to bring together so many innovators and investors in one space! Great to see y’all @ClaudeCimeus @IzerMartinez @cristinpacifico @Gaving322
It’s not getting a ton of attention, but there is some amazing innovation going on in the warehousing/logistics/commerce infrastructure space. I have a great company that’s changing the way warehouses are run. Let me know if you’re interested in more info on the deal.
Beside the incredible people in our ecosystem, this general scrappiness is why I love working with Chicago startups. And if you’re not following Nilay and his journey with Arvist, you’re missing out!

Hey @VitalizeVC Angels, your support for Logoi has not gone unnoticed!

This cannot be emphasized enough
What is the key to finding & hiring A+ talent? It’s the single most determinative factor for the success of any venture, and it’s 100% the most difficult thing to do. Still don’t feel like I truly have a great process Any thoughts? @justingordon212 @HarryStebbings @erica_wenger

Perfectly said - you hate to see cap tables get messy with equity tied up in advisors who are often contributing no real value.

How am I not going to amplify this story of a stellar @NotreDame alum @thejaylonsmith not just crushing it in the NFL but also as entrepreneur & with own VC fund. H/T @TomMendozaTalks for share. Fellow ND grad VCs @galeforceVC & @eldavis8, in case you’re not already connected 🤝

Early-stage founders: Any interest in attending an Early-Stage Finance Fundamentals session? Would love to curate it to people’s questions. Some ideas: - walk thru a playbook to manage burn - Quarterly cash flow forecast template Leave a 👍 if interested
Helpful thread for those interested in angel investing. 1) it’s not all a matter of luck - you can make a difference on how successful the company becomes 2) it’s not just writing a check - you’re not the operator but you should hold yourself responsible for adding some value

It’s not unreasonable to say that you don’t want to encourage a bank run, but there’s a very real argument that GPs who don’t encourage their portcos to pull funds or take conservative measures could be breaching fiduciary duty to LPs. No incentive to take that risk.
What personal CRM do you use? Trying to keep it simple and get onboarded easily. Any thoughts from our @VitalizeVC or @justgogrind communities?
What tools are people using to consolidate & manage all of their communications in 1 place? Need something for Gmail, Outlook, Slack, ideally to see everything in 1 inbox. Would love to test & then share with founders. Any thoughts? @justingordon212 (5/30, @HarryStebbings)
Which VCs are best in class when it comes to supporting portcos’ brand development? Looking to study the masters! @listendotco is always the first that comes to my mind. (4/30, @HarryStebbings)
Met with a founder and one of the questions that came up was how to preempt the RFP process w/ prospective customers. Any B2B sales specialists have any tips for how to push for the sale & prevent an RFP when you have a good relationship w/ the prospect? (3/30 @HarryStebbings)
Recently read that fund managers looking to sell in the secondaries market can expect discounts to NAV to settle between 30-50% later this year. (Credit: @HansSwildens) How close is this to what people are currently seeing in the market? (2/30 @HarryStebbings)
A bit alarming how many startups I’ve seen this past year with “accounting issues” or having to redo their books. If your startup is struggling with finance & accounting processes, DM me and let’s get you connected to the right resources (people & tools) (1/30 @HarryStebbings)
