@dunkhippo33 does it again - if you're thinking about investors as primarily providing $$, you need to think again. Love that she shares how she perceives her own value add. So important to have someone who can help you manage morale during a startup roller coaster!

[Elizabeth Yin 💛 @dunkhippo33]

Some wed night thoughts on investor “value add”:

1) At the end of the day, money is a commodity. That mere fact should make every vc shudder.

It is amazing how many ppl (incl myself) clamor to get into a commodity business!

[Stephanie Sims @Finance_Ability]

@ElishevaMarcus @kathysacks @Keith_Wasserman Yep, this one made me smile - thanks for sharing, Elisheva!

[Stephanie Sims @Finance_Ability]

[Stephanie Sims @Finance_Ability]

Another stellar thread from @dunkhippo33 - I particularly like the bit about having more ppl not helping to find PM fit. Too many founders raise to hire for stuff they don't want to do, not for getting to/past PM fit.

[Elizabeth Yin 💛 @dunkhippo33]

Saturday thoughts on funding: Where it helps. Where it doesn't. And how it affects team, success, and PM fit.

This is just my $0.02 after looking reviewing 30k+ early stage startups personally and having led 350+ investments across 2 VC firms & as an angel.

Let's begin! >>
