Whenever I doubt if I can do something, I ask myself: what would a white guy in a Patagonia vest do?

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

Joining the chatGTP fun with a short piece about VC in the style of Shakespeare. “And only the strong and the lucky shall survive”🤠

@bartverh 😂 I thought they just do Gods work

Pitch: Unicorn as a Service

You pay me €1000, and I'll invest €100 at a €1bn valuation in your company

Monday feels frighteningly close already

@Alealemazzilli @madelinelawren We should start a club for human VCs were you can only enter if you can cry after seeing a video of baby deal clubbing

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

Best compliment of the day, a founder saying “you’re very human for a VC” 🥹

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

@madelinelawren @Alealemazzilli Is this another human VC??

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

One of the nice things about tech startup conferences is that there is never a queue for the ladies toilet
Enjoying @TheBigScore_eu

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

Just realised that the letters in the word ‘queue’ are also queuing up

What is a healthy frequency of considering deleting LinkedIn and moving to the Alps to become a sheep farmer?

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

VC has taken over your life if you walk through the Souk of Marrakech and your first thoughts are: “hmmm, low differentiation, pretty low sales velocity, but sizeable inventory… how do they finance that?”

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

The worst thing about VC is that I’m now suddenly an Apple girl and liking it

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

@RobertHoeijmak1 Haha and I’ve never heard of mastodont! Slush seems like burning man for VCs to me from the outside

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

Is it possible to see non-Slush related LinkedIn posts these two weeks?

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

Is Slush more like burning man for VCs (“freezing money”) or coachella for VCs?

(I’ve never been)

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

“What’s your favourite subreddit” should be a standard founder DD question

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

@SaidHaschemi 4. During lunch, say you’re still pre-idea but want to do something in FinTech, and let’s catch up next month?

What are non-actionable tips?

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

We’re doing an extended… extensive… expensive seed round

[Djoni de Vos @djoni_vc]

We need to not only sing hallelujah on great deals but also have accountability in the VC world. @sequoia @generalatlantic this is your investment. This cannot be what you mean with ‘we back the daring to build legendary companies’. What are you doing to fix it?
