Not "how to growth hack your mindshare to innovate your up-market strategy"—please save us—the boring stuff like "Why shouldn't I just sell my common shares to investors for money?" and "Why Delaware?" also more interesting things, maybe. We'll see.

@simonsarris Source?

[nash @ryanwnash]

@Chris_arnade Road cracks, debrief, and lighting make me think the Northeast US. NJ or New York maybe.

[nash @ryanwnash]

@Chris_arnade Very nice. I'd add sun/shade as well whatever the source. On slightly cool days to very hot days being able to "pick the X side of the street" can make all the difference between a lovely walk and something you'd rather have driven/transited. I like playing the sun game in nyc.

@nikitabier @ankurnagpal Since there is so little precedent you're taking a gamble on future litigation. Most common advice I've seen is "just don't bother if guaranteeing QSBS is important to you" or "do it for a year max".

[nash @ryanwnash]

@nikitabier @ankurnagpal Also, even if you start as a C corp and take an S Corp election each year until you feel rocket ship vibes you may have still blown your QSBS status. Entity has to be a C Corp for “sufficiently all” of the 5 year holding period. Very little legal precedent on what that means.

YES YES YES
Outstanding inarguable moral position––void of the trap of endless ‘but whataboutism’ rooted in historic vengenance that only ensures cycles of violence

I wrote an essay about the need to speak up against antisemitism and it was published in the @NYDailyNews . Give it a read

@nathanbaugh27 Walks, I'd make a circle out of lower midtown to downtown in manhattan, start wherever. Hit the west village, soho, tribeca, nolita, chinatown, les, east village, alphabet city. Zig zag blocks, never go straight between each. Step inside somewhere when tired/hungry/curious

@MorganBarrettX @andruyeung no no no it's the sexy bowling alley IN port authority bus terminal where I find zen

@tylertringas All the links in that article go back to the old Earnest Capital URLs so they're dead now. Content is still useful so might be worth an update to Calm

[nash @ryanwnash]

@msuster I’ll 4th or 5th Public. Great location between all the neighborhoods. Can go LES, SoHo, east/west, and great place to stay.

[nash @ryanwnash]

@can What's your age again?

[nash @ryanwnash]

@InnovateEconomy @kieranblanks @LettieriDC @jimtankersley It crashed like crazy in 2022 and 2023 with record dissolutions so high that Delaware became backed up for almost 12 months. Still some evidence that if people have some slack and a decent safety net they’ll start businesses though.

[nash @ryanwnash]

@galeforceVC And if you're getting that high up on convertibles chances are it is from multiple tranches which means different caps and instruments; if you weren't careful in understanding them you might be left with a very dicey priced round w/unexpected dilution and tough cap table math

[nash @ryanwnash]

@mckaywrigley @vhmth @loom This comment is almost as interesting as the OP

Thanks for both
