@endowment_eddie Do you find this broadly across the asset class or different conversations early vs late stage? Recall @fredwilson blog from years ago touting a 40% loss ratio on one of @USV's top performing fund.
Another big milestone for the team @PrizePicks coming in at #5 on the Atlanta Business Chronicle's Pacesetter awards! Congrats team! 🚀 https://t.co/mk08rCLCCC
A lot of hard work has gone into getting this launched but excited to announce ScaleUP ATL - a program to support black founders in their scaling journey. Kudos to @RachelKazungu for the incredible effort to get things up and running.
In 2020, Apple's AirPods did ~$18B in revenue.
This was more than:

- Wayfair ($9.1B)
- Foot Locker ($8B)
- Ralph Lauren ($6.3B)

Two things I understand since the birth of our child:
1) What women go through pre/post-partum is far superior to anything us men have to deal with.
2) The importanance of @alexisohanian’s fight for expanded leave is critical
1/ Last night I tweeted that Atlanta is on absolute fire. 2,300+ liked the tweet. There’s a special energy building here. So what is going on in this “overnight success hub”? Hint - it’s been 15 years in the making. Time for a 🔥 thread 👇👇👇
Big congrats to Endeavor Entrepreneur Tony Summerville in Birmingham! This $21M Series B is a huge milestone for @Fleetio and we’re honored for Endeavor Catalyst to play a small part. https://t.co/fzKrqesYIB
For any entrepreneur raising venture capital, this is a great thread
