@elonmusk She sounds and looks like she's off her head drunk, not to mention a bit too flirty for the boardroom! 🤣🤣Please don't give her the keys to your Tesla!🫠🤣🤣

@OhioChick_ @liz_churchill10 @BabyD1111229 ..this will pass..Irish people's way of getting the government to pay attention to the crushing effect of 60% fuel tax.. Dublin looks pretty safe to me right now

@anonypundit @alantomusiak Skip the processed meats, and less meat overall helps.. a colorectal surgeon said to me 'we know meat is a big factor in colorectal cancers '... WHO says it.. skip sweetness, limit sugar...Med diet is ideal. Also alcohol is huge factor too.

@sophiegrenham I'd say the increase in energy costs, the local rates, the VAT, the increase in wage bills, rent, 8.5% carbon tax might be eating into a huge chunk of your almond croissant there..small businesses are getting crucified as much as the consumer. Economics!

@iluminatibot @grok is this true

[Shiera O'Brien @Coach_Shiera]

@CrazyVibes_1 Remove all but the minimum stuff..does she need all that? 1 of every toy and 2-3 clothing items - jeans, sweater, dress etc. . see how she goes..train her on minimalism to reverse that chaos.

@PaulTreyvaud And there I was thinking, why would anyone need another few tips for Christmas dinner cooking? You just gave me a reason and saved a family from a dodgy turkey! 😇👏🙌

@henrythe9ths Fundraising is an art!

[Henry Shi @henrythe9ths]

I got rejected by 144 investors before raising $150M for my $200M+ rev/year startup.

After 144 rejections, I started questioning our approach.

Were we solving the right problem?

What were we doing wrong?

Why weren’t investors seeing what we were seeing?

Were we the right team to build this?

We tried everything: different pitch angles, new deck structures, and reframing the problem.

Then came the 145th meeting, where we closed our first growth round.

That yes made everything worth it. But getting there took years of mistakes and hard work.

We went through a lot of trial and error just to figure out what resonates with investors.

We tried dozens of approaches to figure out what made investors engage.

Some landed, most didn't. But each iteration taught us something about what builds conviction versus what just sounds good on paper.

And once we cracked that code, our Series C closed faster than expected.

And today, I see so many founders in the exact same position I was in 10 years ago: grinding through rejections, questioning everything, and trying to figure out what works.

So today I want to give you the resource I wish I had back then:

Something that shows you exactly how to structure these conversations and navigate the entire process

(because the fundraising cycle can be a big distraction and take a toll on you as a founder).

So I've partnered with Notion's Startups Team to create the essential fundraising resource that helps you avoid the mistakes that cost me years.

Here's what you are getting:

• The actual decks I used to raise $150M for Super[.]com (Series B, C)

• 50 real examples from funded startups like Eleven Labs and Artisan AI

• A searchable database of 10,000+ investors - angels, VCs, and accelerators you can reach out to immediately (this alone would take months to build manually)

• An AI-powered fundraising agent built into Notion with step-by-step prompts (no separate ChatGPT needed)

Want access?

• Like and share this post

• Comment "FUNDRAISE"

• Follow me so I can DM you the link

I'll send it over ASAP.

P.S.: If you are serious about fundraising (now or in the future), you should grab it right away.

@Jklunden Junior Cycle?? Looks like 1st year stuff. We were reading Huckleberry Finn for our Junior Cert.. How times have changed!

@cb_doge Want an investment idea?

[Shiera O'Brien @Coach_Shiera]

@Brink_Thinker yes! From the age of 3, I was outside the gate wandering the neighborhood, the fields and climbing trees. Best time of my life. A great big adventure with the gang of kids. Walked to school on Day 2 on my own, aged 4.. different times!
