Median time between seed and Series A is now very close to 2 years. From A to B or B to C it is over 2 years…
Don’t be caught with not enough cash…

I try to post this, one of my favorite blog posts, every year. It’s by the great @nglaros, from 2017.
Enjoy this gift of a read as the new year approaches.

My three favorite versions are the original by Sublime, this one by Blues Traveler (below) and of course the live version by @scottmelker, not necessarily in that order.

4/ Curious which bank(s) will ultimately show up as leaders + lenders to support the next generation of incredible managers, as a value-added partner in the journey.
Any suggestions, thoughts, referrals, share away or DM me!
Thread (Diverse Emerging Manager VC Banking)
1/ With so much recent change, hope to see a bank leader committed to VC fund lending (ie: cap call + GP lines) for diverse/female EM's.
If not, a huge gap in the market, including the needed products + expertise of banks/bankers.
3/With the new teams at Stifel and HSBC, curious if either will emerge as a lending partner to VC funds? Especifically to EM's?
Companies like Mercury/Brex seem to offer very strong fund + company banking platforms, but I don't think solve for the cap call lines/GP commits?
Dear @LEGO_Group,
As a Die Hard fan, proposing Lego sell a Nakatomi Plaza adult lego set.
Like the recent The Office set, but 35 floors.
With all characters (including both special Agent Johnsons), helicopters, Al’s squad car, and of course Argyle’s stretch limo.

Re: #EmpireFinTech
Why is this conference different from all other conferences?
Because they have BOTTLED SHIRLEY TEMPLES.
