Most startup advice is trash. So it's probably no surprise I keep going back to the same two things Andy Laats of Nixon shared with me 12 years ago.

Both were super relevant this week...

First investor check just hit the bank! Next stop: Revenue.

3rd time’s a charm. @LetsPlayMoney bitches!!

This summer I've had a handful of founders set up RUVs to bring angels onto their cap tables but then set $5k and $10K minimums. I want to cry. 🤦🏽‍♀️

"Aren't I leaving money on the table if I set it too low? There's no real benefit from a $1K check."

No. It's the opposite. =>

The future of angel investing is one of my *favorite* topics. I could go on for way more than 140. So much, that I am building a whole ass company around it at @LetsPlayMoney.

What if we bought startup equity like we buy purses 👜 and shoes 👠 and makeup 💄?

This angel investor education industrial complex is starting to get a Paper Street Soap vibe to it.

[Cheryl Kellond @XXfounder]

Oof. Talked to a founder that feels potential customers aren’t buying because they aren’t smart enough to understand the product. Their proposed fix is to educate their potential customers more.

Thoughts on this strategy?
