There’s very little innovation in VC. I’m starting a new project to fix that and there’s room for one founding engineer. angel.co/l/2mjFZk
“So all the agreements and such are only as solid as the performance of the business. They can all get torn up in a nanosecond if things don’t go well.” - @fredwilson
Just finished reading "Pitching Hacks" by @naval and @nivi venturehacks.com/sscx92823jsdxc… So many golden nuggets in here for founders looking for 💲.
Formula for a successful entrepreneur. Can build or sell with the best. Doesn’t give up. Knows when to pivot. The end.

If Lyft is trading down when the lockup expires, the IRS still takes their cut at $78.29 a share. That means employee tax rates are different (worse) than what you might expect. At today's close of $59.90, the effective tax on employee RSUs (assuming 45% marginal rate) is 59%.
If you’re ready for a Series A, your seed investors will be begging to introduce you to VCs. That’s how’s they avoid getting boxed out of the round by the new investors. h/t @jake_zeller
If it’s not obvious by now, all but a handful of VCs are going to get crushed by operators like Andreessen, Sacks and Rabois.

I've been writing for a while now, and I have to say that every point in that article is true. Some are of course more important than other, but it is definitely worth reading. buff.ly/2URjuMw
@venturehacks @naval Did you guys record this podcast all at once and are now releasing it every couple of days, or are you guys recording it every couple of days? It does seem like it was recorded on 1 day and then organized into 5min bites to be slowly released.
@venturehacks @naval "The episodes are edited for sound quality [...] and filler words are removed (um like basically)." So that's why it felt like a condensed stream of wisdom.

Great angel investing tips in this post👇 Q: "Earlier you had to crash a fighter jet (aka lose $25M) before getting good judgement. Now u can learn it via dealflow frm friends, incubators, demodays, AngelList. Track your fantasy portfolio & antiportfolio" venturehacks.com/articles/11-le…
@dgbravo El post de @venturehacks es imperdible 👉🏻venturehacks.com/articles/11-le…
@venturehacks Nice one, I recommend also reading paulgraham.com/talk.html
I love these tips on how to write ... I'd happily have them up on my wall as a poster ... How about you? (via @venturehacks) venturehacks.com/articles/writi…
Also, this is only true of true seed/angel investors. VCs who dip into seed for deal flow have opposite incentives. Will often play games to get you to *not* talk to others, to reduce your optionality.
If you’re ready for a Series A, your seed investors will be begging to introduce you to VCs. That’s how’s they avoid getting boxed out of the round by the new investors. h/t @jake_zeller

I love it when the power of words in transacting business is acknowledged. #amwriting venturehacks.com/articles/writi…

So much this.
Business writing is a customer service problem. You’re not the star—the reader is. Help them get what they want, as quickly and effectively as possible.
