If you are a VC changing strategy now during the down times—did you even have a strategy to begin with?

Funds have a 10-year life. You should expect a downturn at some point with every new fund you create.

@jimcramer Even though travel demand appears to be high, the cost of travel contributed to by extremely high fuel costs, may level off demand eventually, due to affordability.

[Nikki Dunn, CFP® @SheTalksFinance]

Well... it appears people are still purchasing over-priced Airbnb's and lattes at Starbucks.

Maybe the consumer survives this after all.

[Tim Young @timy0ung]

I hate to see a startup founder owning less than 10% of the business they spent the better part of their life building.

[Alex Alpert @AlexanderAlpert]

I truly believe that being mindful and helpful to others throughout your career plays an important role in serendipity and, ultimately, success.

How to trade #geopolitical events

Don’t

You have zero edge in trading CNN/Fox/CNBC rumor headlines, which is a direct path to losing money

@NeildaLikeZelda @MacConwell @lolitataub @meaganloyst @ArlanWasHere @nic_detommaso I post on LinkedIn twice a week for now, but I figured scheduling content more than 2 weeks in advance doesn’t work, bc it becomes somewhat outdated. I can schedule cases and my original work, but any news/reactions have to be written “in the moment”

Let’s say these Super Bowl customers are half as valuable (lower intent). 

$45 revenue per user x 500,000 new users = $22.5M

That would make the ad ROI positive!

[Anna Saltykova @momofunicorns]

I liked Coinbase’s ad in the Super Bowl last night. But as a revenue leader, I was curious about the ROI. Let’s make a case:
• 117M people watched
• 20% scan the QR code (the chief product officer said the page got 20M visits in 1 minute)

[Anna Saltykova @momofunicorns]

• 10% signup 
• 20% of them link their bank account 
• = ~500k new customers 

What’s 500k customers worth to Coinbase? Does that cover the $14M spent on the ad? 

According to their last quarterly report, the average customer generates $90 in revenue per year for them.
