Phone calls are WAY better than Zoom. Zoom kinda sucks tbh. Computer glitches, having to look at your own face while you speak, not intimate. You can't walk around. It's super awkward if the doorbell rings. You have to deal with background notifications.

I will die on this hill.

@Berlinger Lol same tho

I’ve never used a pitch deck to fundraise. 👀🌶️

Instead, I kicked off every raise with a Memo. (And brought in over $42M for Rupa with 15+ term sheets 🤯)

Here’s why I think founders should use memos more (and not always decks):

We need to have more respect for PR & comms.

It is not fluffy marketing BS that can be handed to an agency or intern.

If done right, it can move the needle for your company.

It will reach investors, talent, and customers.

Do not half-ass it, if done right, it is worth it.

The @betaworks team will chat about the Apple Vision Pro announcement with our old friend @etherington today at 1pm et. Some founders building for AR/VR may stop by, too. Don’t miss it.

[The Wolf of Franchises 🍟 @franchisewolf]

In 2011, Dippin' Dots, aka the "ice cream of the future", went bankrupt.

After being swooped up for relative pennies at just $12M, they were acquired last year for $222,000,000.

The crazy part? Most of the company's value wasn't from selling ice cream.

Here's the wild story:

[ASTRSK @ASTRSKPR]
