Twitter is fun because you get to be like, “Ducks are good” and someone in your mentions will go, “Um, I’m sorry but my brother is married to a duck scientist and this is a harmful view” and then someone else pops up going, “Your silence about horses is extremely telling”
A gem from the past few weeks - "As time goes by, you’ll have data that you can anonymize and create insights to help. That's a natural advantage." Thank you @venkateshkr@foundergym#foundergym
"At the seed stage, financials don’t really matter"
○ The story matters more than the scope of your financials - GEMS - Thank you Cat, the session was wonderful. @foundergym@catleecatlee

2. Then, “listen” to customers and address their next biggest problem related to that first problem.
3. Repeat until your startup is worth $1 Trillion.
