@Phaet0nic @nedoleary @ctjlewis Too much capital + an industry that’s effectively a public good (should be 1-2 operators per city + advertising).

[Dave Pack @davegpack]

@cplee123 They called me today and their opener was how much money they raised and that they were YC backed. I’m sorry but yc is a negative not positive sign for industries where I don’t want them to move fast and break things.

@Winterrose 10x at seed? Lolololol

@caitlinbolnick1 What would you estimate your firm’s investment rate is when bringing a founder to a partner meeting?

[Dave Pack @davegpack]

@jmj @chapterone I thought you were a crypto fund?

[Dave Pack @davegpack]

Bad take. For all non-engineering roles, starting your career in ibanking or consulting gives you training and brand value that can help define your career. Joining a startup with no formal training program or time to train you will limit your growth and turn you into a glorified project manager.

@zachrose51 C-Suite - CEO, Chief Commercial Officer, Direct of Ecommerce, Director of VP of Revenue Management.

[Dave Pack @davegpack]

[Dave Pack @davegpack]

@zachrose51 Where are they? Haha

@yrechtman https://t.co/0LjHY7tjTO is more accurate than zoominfo

@bznotes It’s the worst. Shocked at how much hype it gets. Probably the worst product we use. Have to because their insurance is so cheap since it’s subsidized by VCs

Today we're announcing a new round of funding that values @eightsleep at $1.5 billion, led by @tether Investments.

Ten years ago I started Eight Sleep with one conviction: the night is the most underutilized lever in human health. Almost nobody was engineering their sleep.

Last year, we hit free cash flow positivity, launched 3 new products, expanded to 34 countries, and published peer-reviewed studies showing the Pod reduces menopausal hot flashes by 56% and restores the body's natural circadian temperature rhythm during sleep, lowering core body temperature and improving cardiovascular recovery. A product you sleep on is producing clinical outcomes that rival pharmaceutical interventions.

We're now building a predictive AI agent trained on 1B+ hours of sleep data. It anticipates your night before it happens.

And we're advancing FDA filings for sleep apnea detection. Passive. Every night. No wires, no clinic visits.

The night is just the beginning.

@MaxZab_ @shaig I second this.

[Dave Pack @davegpack]

@fendien They won’t be able to! Heavy r&d into an emerging technology is impossible in LBOs.

[Dave Pack @davegpack]

@JasonrShuman Feel like founders are going to start opting out. It’s already a balance about what to share on various levels of calls and diligence. This will change even more if we now be recorded.

[Dave Pack @davegpack]

@ColinGardiner Accelerators are left over from a time when VC was not main stream, and information on how to build a pitch deck, price a round, and get in front of downstream investors wasn’t widely available. They are now scams and negative signal with the exception of YC, NEO, and Pear.

[Dave Pack @davegpack]

@raastapopoulos disgusting and he thinks all the engagement on LinkedIn is awesome for his business. It'll hurt his recuiting, investment prospects, and when building in healthcare none of his customers are on LinkedIn.

@PeterJ_Walker Is this arr or annualized usage?
