@LauraLoomer @CDR_GRIMES @IDF That jerk-off right there.

@BarronTNews_ Disturbing. May G-d bring healing to the injured and guide authorities swiftly to those responsible.

@elonmusk Terrifying!

Amazon’s stock fell 80% in 2000.

Here’s what Jeff Bezos told investors:

@kgarciadumont Great news! Thanks for sharing.

[Joe Freedman @joefreedman]

Most "urgent" fires are just symptoms of the same structural decision you’ve been avoiding for 18 months.

[Joe Freedman @joefreedman]

Most founders lose their edge the day the Series B (or PE) wire hits.

I did. Strong up-round, board observer added, cash suddenly easy, comp bands that screamed "we made it."

[Joe Freedman @joefreedman]

Created "All-Hands Support" rotations: every employee, including me and the board observer, rotated through live customer support tickets to feel daily pain points first hand

Here’s a secret they don’t put in the pitch deck:
It doesn’t matter how many exits you’ve had—
Every new company comes with a fresh dose of insecurity.

[Joe Freedman @joefreedman]

If you’re swinging between
“this is working”
and
“what if I crash this thing?”

You’re not broken.
You’re just a founder.

And you’re right on schedule.
