Great talk: “Founding to IPO” at @StartX, three keys, 1) “focus on your deck of cards” 2) IPO is not a destination, it’s part of the journey, 3) Understand the market dynamics around what your doing

It’s an exciting time as we at @EllerraHQ embark on creating a small fund to help some of the clients we work with. I support the Mensarius Oath for ethical investing created by @govclab https://t.co/2JKdmbN8qh #MensariusOath

THE LITTLE TECH AGENDA

Marc Andreessen & Ben Horowitz
July 5, 2024

Little Tech is our term for tech startups, as contrasted to Big Tech incumbents.

Little Tech has run independent of politics for our entire careers. But, as the old Soviet joke goes, “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.”

We believe bad government policies are now the #1 threat to Little Tech.

We believe American technology supremacy, and the critical role that Little Tech startups play in ensuring that supremacy, is a first class political issue on par with any other.

The time has come to stand up for Little Tech.

Our political efforts as a firm are entirely focused on defending Little Tech.[1] We do not engage in political fights outside of issues directly relevant to Little Tech. But we will fight for Little Tech – for the freedom to research, to invent, to create jobs, to build the future – with all of our resources.

We find there are three kinds of politicians:

* Those who support Little Tech. We support them.

* Those who oppose Little Tech. We oppose them.

* Those who are somewhere in the middle – they want to be supportive, but they have concerns. We work with them in good faith.

We support or oppose politicians regardless of party and regardless of their positions on other issues.

We are in this for the long haul.

Learning from masters of their craft allows high performers to outperform others. These two share something every #Startup #founder should know. #VentureMindset @IlyaStrebulaev

Great night at @StartX hearing about the #VentureMindset from @IlyaStrebulaev and Alex Dang. They shared tremendous insight for #startup #founders. The book is a treasure trove of information about how the most successful VCs think & operate. 5⭐️highly recommended 👍

The Landscape of Consciousness is the emotional appeal. This frame needs to include desires, feelings, and the “Why.” This is the part of your story that serves the meaning component of your narrative.

The Landscape of Action consists of all activities of your venture & those involved. Your product (or potential product), team, customers, settings, competition, alternatives, etc., are all part of this landscape. Also need to include time, sequences, and/or order.
