@kelskamin Hi Kelsi, I live in Austin but I’d love to meet you sometime! Sending you a LI request

@roshanpateI Hi Roshan, I’m a doer looking for my next role. At my last startup, I stepped in and filled almost every need that came up— sales, project management, investor relations, automations, bookkeeping, data cleaning... What’s the best way to send you my resume?

@mayurzzz @sweatystartup Hey Mayur! I recommend https://t.co/56mqHJ8pkh, I've hired 3 VAs through them for Investor Emails and they've been amazing to work with!

Hill that I’ll die on: $1k investments are worth taking for the right investor.

And more often they are *more helpful* than large check investors.

This is why VC is being disrupted. Smaller check writers are proving to be more useful in many cases.

How Amazon works
1. Find products that others sell well on Amazon
2. Copy the products exactly
3. Sell them under an Amazon brand and rig the search results so their product shows up 1st
4. Make Bezos worth $200 billion while putting others out of business

We made our first Filipino hire on May 1st 2021.

Today, 12 of our 23 employees are located in the Philippines.

Insanely competent, loyal & reliable.

From customer service to underwriting to collections and working with vendors it is changing the way we do business!

[Nate Elliott🥤🤠 @NateElliott]

Experience is great, but some y’all act like somebody needs 3 years of experience before they can be trusted to do anything. Exceptional people can go from 0-competent in months. Not years. Those are the people you want, IMO. Esp at a startup where things are always changing.

If you quit your job to start a company this year, DM me proof and I'll pay for your health insurance. (and your co-founders too)

[Aryan Kochhar @aryan_kochhar]

A lot of people are like: "If you're able to get paying customers that means your startup is successful"

No. I have a different opinion on this. I can explain it in a thread 🧵

[Jason Yeh @jayyeh]

Want my investor outreach pack including email templates, outreach playbook, and 14k+ investor names sorted by category for free? Just:

1. Retweet this
2. Comment "Sweet!" below

And I will DM it to you

(so many hours of internet research and testing went into this!)

I don't think we've fully reckoned with how the pandemic crystallized for people how much they hate their job.

It's not just that people are lazy or don't want to get covid at work. They don't want to slowly kill themselves by wasting their life at a soul-sucking job.

[Aaron Bailey @aaroncbailey]

Building a startup is a battle between

“If I asked the people what they wanted they would’ve said “faster horses”” —Henry Ford

&

“The customer is always right”

[Darcy Burner @DarcyBurner]

@lolitataub Understand that rejections are a natural part of the process—for *everyone*. Finding the right match of investor and company involves a lot of trial & error to get it right!
