Covid fucking sucks.

DAOs w̵i̵l̵l̵ ̵c̵h̵a̵n̵g̵e̵ have changed venture investing.

We recently backed our 100th founder in 2021 at @joindvc!

This would not have been possible without our distributed approach to doing the work.

A properly incentivized collective of good ppl can achieve SO MUCH.

"Investor updates" is a misnomer for early stage startups.

You write them to attract new investors, not just update the current ones.

So, write them even if you don't have investors yet and you're writing into the void.

[Leo Polovets @lpolovets]

Investor updates = customer success for existing investors + sales collateral for prospective investors

Very high ROI when done well.

I can yeet my entire life savings into NFTs, but I cant invest a single $1 in a startup without being accredited. Makes sense to me....🥴

I wrote this in 2001 when working in downtown SF. What a contrast it was (and is) walking up to a fancy job through homelessness & starvation.

We should reward systems that admit error rather than encourage people to lie that they are invincible and never wrong.

I have SO much respect for this company for not saying AI here 😅

both because there’s no audience for it (the Growth team probably doesn’t care, the Transactions team knows this stuff better than I do) and the specific examples are all fixed, in progress, or deliberately deprioritized sooooo there’s no real action to take

[Dan Hightower @Danhightower]

Founders, come hang with me next week if you're in NYC. https://t.co/R03K4YOMq8
