From many conversations:
Young crypto investors don’t want to invest in anything tied to physical things. It caps upside.
Older real estate investors don’t want to invest in anything not tied to physical things. It limits downside.
A paradigm shift is happening in investing.
Friendly reminder: every successful billionaire entrepreneur was once a first-time founder. Every mega-billion-$-AUM VC was once a first-time fund. #GiveFirstTimersAChance

I have a love/hate relationship with startup funding announcements. Hate that they’re so glorified in the media as a primary sign of a company’s success. But when the less than 2% that typically don’t get funding actually get funding, I want to share that shit everywhere.
🚨 A cautionary tale for today's market 🚨
Shortly after I joined Dropbox in 2013, the company closed its Series C at a $10B valuation.
Today, Dropbox does billions in revenue (1,000% growth since then) and is worth...$9.5B 🤯
Many recent 🦄s will face similar dynamics.
We can just get rid of VC round letters (A, B, C) now right??
I’ve seen $20M+ Seed and $100M+ Series As…they truly have no meaning to me anymore. I just tell people we invest in $2-5M rounds, lmk what you’re calling that
@HarryStebbings recent episodes have been really great. part of it seems to be access to people who keep low profile. I lost interest for a while because most guests said same things using different words but now that seems to be changing!
2021 is a landmark year for the femtech industry, with global VC investment crossing the $1 billion mark for the first time, according to @PitchBook@PitchBookNews@flotracker@willowpump
