Reminder to self. Consistency is everything. Stay the course no matter what. Move and make moves in silence when necessary. Show don't tell. More steak less sizzle.
When you work from a revenue first model, you tend to be more conservative with your operations and maintain more ownership, but you're giving up rapid experimentation. -@iamGiselleMelo@MatrVentures@BWTalkTech#rtb6#rtb22
As a founder, what shall I consider when looking for startup Advisors? And, how much equity should I give? Here's a guide: https://t.co/7AJPSLx6TO
Idea stage = 0.25% - 1.0%
Startup stage = 0.20% - 0.80%
Growth stage = 0.10% - 0.60%
Founders who ask for intros to a technical cofounder, allow me to get personal & practical. No BS. Great products start with design + focus on the User. Start w design vs coding = faster & less costly to uncover product market fit. Results = better product https://t.co/PUC9cO9fTI
To all Underestimated Underdogs, the world is your playground.
Some will question and judge you because you keep pivoting, failing or starting over.
I salute and clap for you because you're Unstoppable and destined for success.
Thanks for having me @247hustlers

Make no mistake that building a venture capital firm, is like building a startup. If you didnt grow up with wealth or access to a wealthy network, prepare to be successful by loving the game more than the game loves you.

I'm often asked about what I look for in a seed stage co.
1. If there's no rev, can U prove there’s a market for the product?
2. Do U clearly understand the problem UR solving?
3. Why are U theee person to solve the problem?
4. How does tech help deliver the solution at scale?
