This may sound a bit crazy at first — but I wish a few more founders would go to jail.

What do I mean? Look when you invest, you take risk. That’s part of the game. Some work out, some don’t. It’s OK in and of itself. You have a loss ratio to accomodate that.

But what’s picked up the past few years is fraud from founders. That, combined with highly accelerated investing paces — hot deals are often now done just on a Saturday — gives investors almost no time to do proper diligence.

And that’s OK, as long as everyone is honest.

But making up ARR numbers? Claiming pilots are annual contracts? Accelerating contracts and ‘recognizing’ all the revenue in month one to raise capital? Claiming customers that disappear weeks after a round closed?

If founders though they might go to jail if they did this — everyone would slow down with the B.S. numbers and metrics just a little.

The best ones would all get funded, it doesn’t matter.

But maybe, folks would slow down before they just basically make things up.

That would benefit the entire ecosystem.

Every VC I know has a $20m-$100m+ loss coming in their portfolio from one of these deals. Often, several.

The best networking isn't networking.

It's helping people with no expectation of return.

Do this for years and you'll never need to "network" again.

.@unccharlotte will be the only place in the Southeast offering this degree.

Only four other schools offer a sports analytics bachelor's degree nationwide, according to UNC Charlotte associate professor Abbey Thomas.
