The graveyard of EdTech startups isn’t a coincidence. They all failed the same way - they tried to fix education. I’m not. Coming soon.

final stages of hiring: let’s do spotify blend for a vibe check

[Samhitha Pinisetti @SamPinisetti_]

I’m hiring and after a couple weeks of emails and zoom calls, I invited a couple of my favorite candidates to coffee today.

After having way too much caffeine, happy to report that I found a great new team mate :)

Neither statement would decide it for me. Admitting to nepotism doesn’t make it a virtue, and claiming meritocracy doesn’t make it true. The bigger question is whether I’d want either as a long-term partner. I don’t choose investors based on how they describe themselves. The portfolio, founder references, and decision-making tell the real story. And no, I don’t think you can tell the difference from a distance, people are way too skilled at idealistic storytelling lol

@YDurindel @hthieblot If you can’t explain what you’re building without using buzzwords and AI every other word, there’s a problem
