Olivia Moore on Silicon Valley's most valuable data, and the information asymmetry Cosign is built to fix:

"The most valuable data in all of Silicon Valley is who has conviction in who, and who can give you a real read on a person for so many decisions. Who do you invest in? Who do you hire? What company do you join?"

"There's such information asymmetry right now. In our job investing, every day we are pinging people saying, 'Do you know anyone who worked with this person?' We do it every day, and we still have to work really hard to find that signal."

"How can someone who is evaluating between five startup job offers get that level of [signal]? You just can't, especially if you're an entry-level engineer. Yet that could be the difference between joining a complete rocket ship and a company that isn't doing as well."

"The data has to be handled carefully around who says what about who, but I think it will be. There's a massive opportunity to add so much value to people's lives and careers."

Founders: One of the best startup hacks I've seen is hiring a smart generalist to own the numerous random yet critical projects that need an owner. From sourcing talent to creating customer decks to sending investor updates, they can be a massive accelerant to your business.

I've been working on corporate-startup collaboration for years (largely as part of @SEP_EU). That has occasionally been criticised for entrenching dominance of incumbent firms. However, this paper concludes that 'big tech 'kill zones' are largely a myth: https://t.co/HGSLdlwSGb

@Taxrage @jniznick @DocSchmadia @shawn_whatley Its not about the money, but continuity. I'd deeply appreciate any true critical advice on how to assure the company isn't bisected for IHT!

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@Taxrage @jniznick @DocSchmadia @shawn_whatley When u put your blood, sweat n tears in a true purpose driven unicorn to free de world from vultures, you're concerned of its continuity..

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@Taxrage @jniznick @DocSchmadia @shawn_whatley I'm looking for a concrete plan/solution/assurance that confirms that the holding structure of a significant company is protected from IHT.

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@Taxrage @jniznick @DocSchmadia @shawn_whatley Can disrupt share holding of promoters n key people, causing instability in company with stocks going in hands of wrong people!

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@Taxrage @jniznick @DocSchmadia @shawn_whatley Thanks good folks, will explore more.. Suppose someone builds a unicorn in Canada, and to his/her demise, the gov sells 20%+ shares for IHT?

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@nicholas_falvo @StuJT @ccpa I heard there's 20% IHT in Canada in the form of general income tax that estate has to settle before its handed over to beneficiary?

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@dslesperance I heard there was a 20% inheritance tax in Canada that estate had to settle before assets are handed over to the beneficiary..

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@DailyGrindExtra @whoislloydy @JamesMelville I heard there was 20% inheritance tax that estate had to settle post demise of the last owner among husband and wife!?

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@tphedgegroup What about businesses? I read that the estate pays 20% IHT before its settled and handed to benificiary? Means, will gov sell 20% shares?

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@JeffStanzel1 Jeff, I did read that its the estate that pays the tax on its own, not the benificiary, and it is 20%? Can we shield a startup from IHT?

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@badnocs @MaonBillii You can DM me.

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@badnocs @MaonBillii IHT is a big threat for a big company. If manageable, would love to move to Canada n launch my billion dollars startup! Pls guide seriously!

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@badnocs @MaonBillii JB, Is this really possible? Can we structure our company in such a way that we protect it from Inheritance tax liability in Canada?

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@jniznick @DocSchmadia @shawn_whatley Joel, 95% Inheritance? What's the inheritance tax in Canada? I heard there was no inheritance tax in Canada!?

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@3wVentures @mlevchin @retolipp @RuediNoser @investiere @m_brenner @QumramAG @3wVentures, how soon!?

[vish2kin @vish2kin]

@Mattermark Do you index ventures from all over the world? Are there some countries you don't/aren't able to index?
