Founders you need to hear the truth:
The funding market has changed.
That raise you wanted, you aren’t going to get.
You are raising too much with too little.
You will go out, burn lots of discussions raising too much.
Then come back with smaller request.
Don’t do this

No one thought it was a good idea.
The founder quit and the company was bankrupt.
But after one dinner meeting, Caryn Becker decided to go all in on this crumbling business.
Just last month, she took the company public at $5.8B
Here's how that meeting went 🧶👇
When @brian_armstrong and I started @coinbase in 2012, a #bitcoin was worth $6 and only known by a few nerds on the internet. #bitcoin was the crazy idea that the world could have a digital money for everyone.
@coinbase had one mission: to make crypto easy to use.
One of the good things in the past four years was so many people became more familiar with their government. Folks learned who cabinet secretaries were and even asst secretaries
They learned how things work

It's the only way to hold power accountable
Josh, let me explain Capitalism to you. Sometimes people decide not to do business with you. It's their decision. You know the whole "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service" thing ? In your case it happens to be "No Principles, No Honesty, No Book" thing. Feel free to Self-Publish
If you hadn't believed in or reflected on white (male) privilege previously, today seems like a really good opportunity to do so. And, what will you differently now that you see it?
There is no excuse for inadequate supplies. Use the Defense Production Act if necessary. Every day we wait, thousands more will die. If .@elonmusk can deliver 500k Teslas and .@JeffBezos can provide same-hour delivery, we can vaccinate every American. The time is now!
Paris's mayor, Anne Hidalgo, was fined nearly $110,000 for appointing too many women to senior management positions. “Far too feminist,” she said with more than a hint of sarcasm. https://t.co/ZiXGa8oFGh
There was no fraud. There will be no recount. Pennsylvania’s election was safe & secure and, thanks to our hardworking election workers, every voice will be heard at the ballot box. In 68 days, @JoeBiden will become the next President of the United States. https://t.co/8JP76bgBS9
We just held an election, and our country made a clear choice: each vote for @JoeBiden was a statement that health care should be a right—not a privilege.
And we won that election decisively, with more votes than have ever been cast in American history.
Joe Biden will be the next President.
Kamala Harris will be the next Vice President.
More than 76 million Americans voted them into office.
That’s more than any ticket in our nation’s history.
