I've seen my share of bear markets in 30 years, and learned A LOT through each one. Lesson #1: Pause, do not panic! Business decisions shouldn't be made from a place of fear. Check out the other lessons here: https://t.co/ogpskK7cp9

Founders don't take f* you money and there's lots more to be proud of than valuation. A piece we did in @inc on capital raising pitfalls and navigating the gobs of capital in market that's chasing you.

An incredible initiative by @SchulerEdFound and @BatesCollege. Congrats @ClaytonAtBates w a shout out to @EmmaSprague and David Longdon for your efforts here. Inspiring.

This is a game changer for Bates.

I am thrilled that we will be able to make the life-transforming experience of the liberal arts available to even greater numbers of ambitious and talented students. Huge thanks to @SchulerEdFound and generous Bates donors.

[Chris Barbin @c_barbin]

Can your #valuation ever be too high? Yes...especially for early/growth companies. As @DenehyXXL said earlier this week, founders must consider the impact of a stratospheric valuation on future rounds (among other things). Wrote a blog. Check it out. https://t.co/AA6YrRL6fa

[Chris Barbin @c_barbin]

Well said @DenehyXXL Totally agree

[Ryan Denehy @DenehyXXL]

There aren't enough founders thinking through the long-term implications of taking a 'nosebleed' valuation - if you're doing $10 or $15M in ARR and raise at $1B, are you then going to raise at $2B at $30M and $4B at $60M? Then what? Bigger is not always better.

[Tercera @TerceraCapital]

For founders, managing a board is a constantly evolving skill. Join Tercera's board best practices webinar tomorrow at 10am PT to hear how seasoned pros @c_barbin @DenehyXXL and @PickensAllison get the most from their boards
