@Jlafortetech @StevBuilds Can I just add, test their marketing skills before offering them partnership? Very few marketers, with commendable track record, will join an early startup. Less known marketers are great at marketing themselves so test them first. Just my two cents.

@markproduct Revenue, eventually

[TraderKhan @AKBashir]

@BijouConcierge @boardyai Thank you. I really think "never give up" is a BS and dangerous advice. Usually its founders with big exits or mentors with-God-knows-what-credentials who provide that advice. There must be a hard stop loss.

@Joi2James Self confidence - deserves more attention from me.

What's one business belief you held 10 years ago that you've completely changed your mind about?

Mine:
I used to think capital was the biggest barrier to startup success.
Today I think distribution is.

Curious what changed your mind?

@inferredbylisa Thats because most who "make it" keep saying "never give up" and with that dangerous advice many continue to hurt themselves and their families. I've done it too. As we say in the trading world, one needs to have a hard stop loss.

@marcrandolph @reedhastings Funnily enough, when you look back, those early days were the fun days you miss the most...at least I do.

@tailopez We need more funds investing in over 40s.

[TraderKhan @AKBashir]

@ReeceWabara Does it matter if profitable founder gets overlooked? He's not looking for anything, specially not funding. Read up on Peter Gassner founder of Veeva, a pharma platform. Great story

[TraderKhan @AKBashir]

@nickisanders Yes, smart. Someone approached me on linkedin a couple of years back and she had started a fund investing in over 40s. I think there might be a few more out there...building portfolios quietly for now.

@NajiNoname SO sorry for your loss. 💔 entrepreneur's life is often lonely

American capitalism created the world's first trillionaire, while Chinese socialism lifted 740 million Chinese people out of extreme poverty.

@MetaMona_ Patting his own back. Another marketing statement. I wouldn't take it seriously. I very much doubt Iran would spend that money buying US food when they have plenty growing at home.

@amasad Never quit - a double edged sword. I usually tell people to never quit on YOUR ultimate potential, but feel free to quit on a bad strategy.

Sometimes quitting is the smartest thing one can do.

@flyingfishbug You ae crazy like me 🤣
