Spent 3 years building Peerlist! Few thoughts on that with a lot of ideas... we are just getting started ๐
Building a portfolio of SaaS and micro-SaaS is the new black.
And I don't think it's going away any time soon.

#DefaultAlive #ChatGPT #Startups #Founders
In 2022/23 all startups learnt a new term #DefaultAlive - a term I first heard from @chamath a few years back. This is likely to dominate the mindset of investors in the next couple of years - so founders might as well learn it. Here's what chatGPT has to say about what this means and its benefits.
Would love to hear your views on the pros and cons of getting to #DefaultAlive.
-------
Being "default alive" is a term used to describe a startup that is self-sustaining, profitable, and has a clear path to continued growth without the need for external funding. Here are some benefits of being "default alive" for a technology startup:
Independence: A default alive startup does not rely on external funding, which means that the founders have more control over the company's direction and decision-making. They can focus on building a sustainable business model and do not have to worry about pleasing investors.
Flexibility: With financial stability, a default alive startup has the flexibility to make decisions that are in the best interest of the company's long-term growth. They can focus on building a solid product and customer base without the pressure to achieve rapid growth or meet investor expectations.
Better Valuation: A default alive startup can achieve a better valuation if they choose to raise funding in the future. Since they have demonstrated their ability to generate revenue and operate profitably, investors may be more interested in investing in a company that has a proven track record.
Less Risk: Relying on external funding can be risky, especially if a startup is unable to meet investor expectations. A default alive startup can mitigate this risk by focusing on building a sustainable business model and generating revenue early on.
Long-Term Viability: A default alive startup is more likely to be viable in the long term since they are not reliant on external funding to keep the business afloat. This can lead to a more sustainable and stable business model that can weather economic downturns or changes in the market.
Overall, being "default alive" can provide a startup with many benefits, including independence, flexibility, better valuation, less risk, and long-term viability. However, achieving this status requires a focus on building a sustainable business model early on and a commitment to generating revenue and operating profitably.

Itโs been a chilly week. But I fear this prediction of a funding freeze and mass startup extinction may be prescient. Winter is coming. Time to be #defaultalive and survive. A great thread here.
PREDICTION: There's a mass extinction event coming for early & mid-stage companies. Late '23 & '24 will make the '08 financial crisis look quaint for startups. Below I explain when, why & how it will start & offer *detailed advice to founders* on surviving the looming die-off. /1
Equity investing is down 96% YoY. With SAFE likely not passing, this isnโt going to change.
Tons of folks have poured years of work into building cannabis businesses. Donโt lose it all by relying on outside investors. Get your biz to #defaultalive ASAP

If a project have ways to churn cash sustainably during the winter, imagine what they can do during the bull.
#Defaultalive #Cockroach
21/ To recap - "how many nodes" isn't a helpful #AppChain question. Instead, master the purpose of the nodes, vulnerabilities that must be mitigated, & external factors that are at play. Then consider costs & determine whether an appchain can sustain itself & stay #DefaultAlive
16/ Finally, when considering the stability and resilience of an #AppChain, also account for #business factors. Is the network #DefaultAlive? That is, consider whether the transactions fees on as the state of the nodes changes actually *pays for* ALL COSTS of nodes to operate.
@sentosumosaba Startup valuations are regressing to previous rounds or worse. Savvy Companies are focusing on reducing cash burn and ways to extend their runway. #DefaultAlive

Super excited to share our story with the world on @YahooFinance and to launch our #DefaultAlive campaign to offer discounted capital to the Portcos of major VC firms.
We're here to help startups thrive through the choppy waters we're all navigating. Here's how we're doing it ๐งต
Iโve been dreading this. Not because it isnโt necessary but because itโs uncomfortable. But this is how you do more with less. #defaultalive #allinpod @theallinpod #principles #theparanoidsurvive
Incrementalism kills. Amazon focused on survival first by dramatically changing its flight path knowing they could always โreinvestโwhen the world improved. There would have been no AWS without those early sacrifices. #defaultalive
Sentiment has changed quickly. Fascinating to learn how AMZN responded back in 2000s when the Market context changed from growth to profitability. Legendary!
AMZN revenue / EBITDA:
1999: 169% y/y, -19%
2000: 68% y/y, -9%
2001: 13% y/y, +1%
2002: 26% y/y, +5%
@kathrynjc7 My favorite segment of the last @theallinpod!
@chamath preaching that the best businesses are profitable and raised less than $50M in VC.

On how to be a business that is #defaultalive: @friedberg's rubric for it:
1) PMF
2) Positive Gross Margins
3) LTV > CAC
4) Can you scale the amt. of money deployed to grow your business, so that as you grow the return goes up not down?
5) Can the business become a platform
Itโs all about revenue. Organic growth is possible without external funding with revenue. #DefaultAlive says @edmolyneux #ScotSoft2017
