@volodarik where do you get the valuation references from? how are they generally derived, industry benchmarks?

[Marius Simon @ma90]

@TweetsOfSumit @dennisprudlo How do you deal with CAC payback in that case? Limiting ad budget?

[Marius Simon @ma90]

@AndreRetterath @IlyaStrebulaev @StanfordGSB Interesting to see the effect of capitalising the "free"/"discounted" human time of the founders is outperforming the breakup tendencies in larger teams. Any datapoint when this works and when rather not? Homogenous vs. more diverse? General advice was to keep teams small.

@Austen Andy Grove in “high output management” says it always should be 8 reports regardless of position, either directly managed or strong influence link in hybrid org setups

@chrija I miss the "we really love what you guys have built"

[Marius Simon @ma90]

@stevesi makes it look like it's set up with actors

[Marius Simon @ma90]

@cogentgene What analytics do you use for this? Built-in or sth. else?

[Marius Simon @ma90]

@TweetsOfSumit Outcomes of actions spawned from your doubts are the reason why things look great from the outside.

@nessclick @hellogetsafe Hi, We’re checking and get back to you shortly.

@TweetsOfSumit Ofc in a bootstrapped entity this feels very wrong, but probably at some point there is a tax situation where adding that "employment in your own company"-contract doesn't hurt as much.

[Marius Simon @ma90]

@TweetsOfSumit Income from employment (they look at past 2 calendar yrs + YTD), saved up Eigenkapital, partner (married) w/ income. They compare sum of income w/ installments + cost of living.

As startups grow there is extremely strong pull into what I call the death spiral of bullshit.

More people -> more teams -> more buy-in required -> more meetings -> being persuasive rewarded more than building -> builders leave -> nothing gets done

[Marius Simon @ma90]

@AbbasAdel @hellogetsafe Good to hear. Let’s follow up via dm
