If true, there needs to be an inquiry into supply chain risks and ITAR violations https://t.co/xcBZ2vyqHb

@bobgourley I think for Xi it validates a surveillance controlled society. His greatest fear isn’t a person rather an idea that can infect his people.

[Matthew Carroll @mcarroll_]

@bobgourley I don’t think so. He’s grown wealth into the Chinese population well beyond any other autocracy I can think of. They also have a very powerful surveillance system to quell any risks quickly. Russia is a dying breed of autocratic rulers whereas Xi is the new model.

@OnlyCFO So if your target is mid market tech that is sticky, then there is a model that says wait it out. If it’s a nice to have dev tool and you ran the y combinator sell to friends model, you’re screwed,

[Matthew Carroll @mcarroll_]

@OnlyCFO Agreed. A large enterprise ICP can grow. Budget exists and ACV can grow inside subscription period if it has short time to production. The question is if the software is getting into production or not. Slow time to production correlates to a dying business IMO.

@jerseejess @Work_Bench Thanks so much for collating the points into something succinct. Seems simple but follow those rules and your sales org will have the right focus and culture to win in big enterprise.

@OnlyCFO Couldn’t agree more. However, one caveat, I believe you need to invest in data engineering your salesforce data with your outputs from QB into a warehouse. As you grow past PMF, I see too many companies fail to create good FP&A discipline.

@shinguardian @USAA Happy to call over. I know some execs. I’ve always had fantastic service. Message me if you want me to push.

Republican or Democrat, isolationism in todays global economy will only stagnate capitalism and crush western business opportunity. https://t.co/KRBYi3YeRE

@jaminball I think with #2 you have to include not just cost optimization but integration fatigue. Too many point solutions and not enough platforms in the middleware ecosystem. Headcount cuts will drive available time cycles for integration which then drives #1.

@bobgourley Do you think Russia is emboldened based on knowing China would back them on financial support and trade? And, China sees this as an opportunity to grow their own GDP by selling tech, telco, and goods to Russia?

[Matthew Carroll @mcarroll_]

@bobgourley Agreed. The cyber realm is too complicated to risk the slippery slope of state vs criminal enterprise attacks. It would also likely provoke other states like North Korea and Iran to take advantage of the chaos. Too much risk and no clear military objective.

@spbail Wait, but if i identify as a data observability company then I’m immediately worth 1B in valuation ;)

Crazy rule applied on @RedSox - wall, to ground, to player, then over fence is a ground rule double…learned a new one.

Clever competitor stood outside our speaking engagement with a customer and then handed out leaflets to suggest the talk was about them. Disappointed in how low folks will go…

@jajordan13 Let’s get to the time a VC took us out for dinner, brought his own bottle of wine, from his own vineyard, and then asked the waiter to take it back because it was “too Barnyardy” — lots of humbling lessons learned.

@jajordan13 Called me a “neck snapper” - referencing military operations - and asked me to introduce him to an astronaut while having a personal chef make him a sandwich in the middle of the pitch.
