Openclawd having office drama is nuts

@amanda_robs Nah it was 100+ in the mission

@ChrisJBakke @GORGO4547 Would love to hear about the differentiation with this bread slicer, also why only raise $150M? You’re putting in the same work, $300M would give you a longer runway.

Name dropping enterprises without concrete tractions during a pitch is a death trap.

If you have been talking to a google for 6 months, my natural next question is what was the outcome of those conversations. It’s better to wait until you got some tractions.

@amanda_robs It’s like putting the wet paper towel over your stale pizza before microwaving it, it doesn’t change the fact it’s old pizza but it does taste better if you reheat it that way

@zck Lmao too good 😹

In 90%+ pitch decks I read, it's rarely ever crystal clear of what the company actually does. This is the number one reason founders struggle to raise funding. A simple solution to this to include the following statement early within your deck:
"We help X achieve Y by doing Z"

X = Your Customer
Y = The Problem You Are Solving
Z = Your Solution

Doing this clearly and concisely will increase the likelihood of an investor taking a first meeting tenfold.

If you are a woman founder thinking about raising a pre-seed/seed round, please feel free to dm me with your deck, round size, traction, and a short description. I will help at least 3 founders find good partners to work with.

1 out of 78 female founders became unicorn founders vs 1 out of 105 of their male counterparts. Despite that, woman founders and co-founders only received about a quarter of total VC funding last year-

If you are an immigrant founder/co-founder and are thinking about raising pre-seed/seed, feel free to send an email to [email protected] with your deck, round size, traction, and a short company description.

I'll share at least 5 founders with the 40+ VCs in my network 💪

[Bryan Huang @BryanShenan]

50%+ of unicorn companies are founded by immigrant founders. Being an immigrant founder means leaving your family, friends, connections, and life behind to build something you deeply believe in and are uniquely positioned to build-

Luck, they told me. It's being prepared, at the right place, at the right time.

Being prepared implies you know what you are preparing for. Being at the right place at the right time implies you know where this target will be and you know when this target will be there.

[Bryan Huang @BryanShenan]

My favorite question when I meet an interesting investor has been: how did you get to where you are today?

I have been getting a lot of this weird answer lately.

@lizwessel @maiab Shh let them think that, it's getting too commercialized as it is.
