@gokulr Have you factored QSBS in this assessment? I think QSBS is valid only for US C-Corp. Of course this is a non issue for companies that don’t have US based early teams.

@VCBrags Prediction: our guy is guaranteed to throw a pick six.

@NorthStandGang Not to mention the online tickets have to picked up from a location that is 15-20 minute drive from the match venue. Why? Who benefits?

Prediction: In less than two years, every piece of content - text, audio, or video will have to clarify if it's AIG (AI-Generated) or non-AIG.

@patio11 Did you tip the robot?

[Ganesh Ramakrishna @ramakrig]

@chrishlad @TrungTPhan It’s more complicated than that. His mother served on the board of United Way alongside the CEO of IBM.

His mom very likely got her board seat thanks to old money connections.

For Founders:
- Keep looking for the snakes and ladders in your startup
- Find ways to add ladders and remove snakes
- Talk about your snakes and ladders openly, build trust

[Ganesh Ramakrishna @ramakrig]

Simple mental model to assess startups.

A startup journey is like playing Snake & Ladders.

For every stakeholder
- The ups and downs are guaranteed
- The startup will have wild swings in position (especially in the early days)

For Candidates:
- Ask the founder about their snakes and ladders
- Pick startups with long ladders and short snakes
- Run away from startups that do not acknowledge the snakes

For the #Wordle fans out there, the best Initial Guesses are Salet, Reast, Trace, Crate and Slate - mathematically proven!

Great work by @dbertsim and his colleague, Alex Paskov.

When a talented and hyper focused team is struggling through something, they are innovating. The pain is part of the journey .

[Ganesh Ramakrishna @ramakrig]

@HarryStebbings Completely agree.

If there is friction to get the product functional ( training, data, system access) then use enterprise sales.

If a segment of your audience does not have that friction => PLG is just a shortcut.

@sudheenair @mim_djo @thoughtspot When can we see such attractive pricing for pre-seed or seed-stage startups who want to embed TS as part of their solutions? Current pricing is not optimized for startups.

@auren Lucky for us in US cities. In India, Uber does not show up and still charge the cancellation fee.

@guptajiten How about taking the first flight out and the last flight in. It might help avoid traffic more often than not.

What is the hack to get good tickets to #IPL2022 ? (Other than knowing a sponsor or being related to folks in the red tape machine)

None of these tickets for #RRvsKKR were available in the open market (official website or bookmyshow)

The best seats available were quite awful.
