Just got a spam call from someone feigning to be from the NBN.... almost wanted to go along with it because the scam version of the NBN surely can't be any worse than our actual NBN connection....
I'm buzzing, just got off hosting @OkayJuliaKay and @jordykayGW from @great_wrap (S21) for @startmate Founders Fellowship #SFF1
They've come such a long way and I truly believe in their conviction that they're going to make a meaningful impact in replacing plastics 🚀
I met Michael and @julia_reisser from @TeamULUU in the middle of 2020 and was super excited when they decided to apply to @startmate's S21 cohort.
Thinking about how far they've both come since that point is 🤯. Can't wait to see what comes next 🍿!
Having "non aligned" investors on the cap table is a big turnoff:
- those who exploited founders early on (15% for $20K)
- investors with warrrants (guaranteed % of company in the future) but others must pay now and dilute
- wanting different deal terms in round (value/prefs)
@startmate founders fellowship has officially kicked off and it's honestly the best. You know that feeling when you hit it off with someone straight away? It's that x1000🚀✨
One of the things you learn as a scientist is the ability to look at a plot and think, "that just doesn't look right." That's the feeling I got when I saw this plot that Lomborg is currently pushing.
So this happened! Still not getting approached in the street for autographs but I'm putting that down to COVID and wearing a mask outdoors.
Feels surreal! Lucky to be a part of the Startmate community and to work with legends like @batkomichael@laurenjcapelin and @sophwith_
Extra extra, read all about it. @batkomichael, @laurenjcapelin, @sophwith_ and @Sascha_Kerbert are about to hit newsstands near you. And damn, do they look suave. Special shout out to @swan_legend for the feature. Grab your copy of The List: 100 Innovators tomorrow.
