I deliver the Strategic Finance Guidance Founders and CEOs crave.

Fractional CFO. Entrepreneur. Operator. Builder.

Had a great meeting with Sequoia. Ran over. They had to run to their PJ to get back for "An announcement in the best investment we've made since Google."

It was Circle.

I was once pitching in a board room at a top 3 VC firm for a $15M Series A.

12 people in the meeting. One of the GPs fully fell asleep. Out cold for 30+ minutes. Nobody acknowledged it. Everyone just kept going.

I kept presenting my Series A slides to an unconscious man in a Herman Miller chair and somehow that was considered normal. That's venture capital.

You might fly across the country to perform for people who may or may not be conscious.

It's a dance.

And sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow and sometimes your partner is unconscious.

If you're raising right now, just know: every founder has a story like this. The process is weird. The power dynamic is weird. You're not crazy for thinking it's weird.

No one talks about it because they want to continue raising. But I'm happy to stick my neck out there.

It is weird.

@ShahbazMKhan Fair. I was 21 when KG won his ring and couldn't believe I turned into a Celtics fan.

We are all in for KAT, but I was ready to give my life for KG.

@DaneMooreNBA Feels like you have to. But that also feels like an overpay.

[Scott Miller 😶‍🌫️ @sbmiller5]

@BillDA I don't believe you do this.

@Shpigford I've had every gen. True isolation just isn't possible without the over the ear. I went with Sony. Better sound quality than the Max.

@baldridgecpa The best trades of my career I've lowered my cost basis when the price dropped.

The worst trades of my career I piled into a loser while it just kept going down.

[Scott Miller 😶‍🌫️ @sbmiller5]

@engineering_bae agree. Architects seems to love them, we had to keep nixing them when designing our house

@andruyeung what's the atmospheric pressure in the restaurant?

[Scott Miller 😶‍🌫️ @sbmiller5]

@kwuchu what? Tell me more.

[Scott Miller 😶‍🌫️ @sbmiller5]

@variacarmina @austin_rief "my time of being overpaid to report their lighting of cash on fire will come to an end. It makes me sad."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've been there.

@BiancoDavinci I'm still disappointed Ceasars Palace doesn't have Vomitoriums.

[Scott Miller 😶‍🌫️ @sbmiller5]

@noahkagan I like this a lot. Not sure of your asset size, but I highly recommend getting professionals involved to reduce your overhead.

I still have a say and make bets based on what I see. But it's a huge time saver to find a good time I like working with.

@SwipaCam Spurs grabbed Edwards with two hands on every play.

Stop whining.

[Scott Miller 😶‍🌫️ @sbmiller5]

@KevinOConnor Unbelievable. Goaltending and grabbing players arms also count as blocks.

No idea how he does it.

[Scott Miller 😶‍🌫️ @sbmiller5]

@MSPAthletics @NBA I don't get it. Does the NBA want to develop young fans?

@BillDA I don't think SaaS is dead, but I think the margins are gonna get crushed.

"Your profit is my opportunity"

I just built a SaaS product I've always wanted and doesn't exists elsewhere, but I'm already getting tired of maintaining it. I'm happy to pay reasonable prices for SaaS
