@halletecco Let us know who is interested in angel investing and we will ask...

We ask often, but our response rate is very low...

So if you know about any women who are not getting asked, we would need happy to oblige.

Years ago, a partner at Y Combinator told me the #1 predictor of whether a startup would fail the YC program is the number of months the founders knew each other before starting their company.

If the founders knew each other less than 18 months, they were far more likely to fail.

You spend just as much time with your cofounder as you do your spouse. You have to be able to fight without being hurt. You have to trust each other

Spend time with people you’d like to start a company with now.

@levelsio It depends on the quality of the curation of the audience at the events.

When the events are done right, you don't have high numbers of consultants and service providers...

[Mossy Ventures @mossyventures]

@levelsio Seems like the acquiredotcom path would be a good path for the B quality results from your experiments.

Focus on a few of your A results to make them grow or sell them to fund your next set of experiments.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. The reason: The country applies a “Housing First” concept. Those affected by homelessness receive a small apartment and counselling – without any preconditions. And: This policy is cheaper than accepting homelessness.

@Zecca_Lehn The revenue financing that @MindaBrusse mentioned or revenue redemption that @FledgeLLC use can help angel investors fund this business.

As can equity crowdfunding, hard money loans, crowdsourcing and peer lending.

Factoring can also work.

Every minute you spend searching, every minute you spend asking somewhere else “where is the” is several minutes you lose. You don’t get them back. You lose momentum, you lose faith, you lose potential.

Every day, you and your team search for data you already have. It’s in slack, it’s in teams, it's in Jira, it’s in miro, it’s in email… it’s everywhere. When it is everywhere, it is nowhere.

I’m working remotely from Iceland for the next two months — if you or anyone you know lives in Reykjavik and is open to making a new friend dm me ☺️🇮🇸

3/ I remind my founders of this as much as I can. That's why I just got a call from one of my founders to talk through a slight issue they were having. We came up with a potential solution fairly quickly. These interactions build trust and make it easier to support in the future
