Step 1 sell business for $800M.. then have enough money to turn back cellular time with doctors, trainers and private chefs that plan and test your results weekly.

I had a call today with a VC I pitched over 14 months ago, he was very shocked we were still alive, not only alive but survived a pivot, developed an amazing product and discovered a massive market. Yes, he wrote a check this time. Perseverance, hard work and some luck 🍀 LFG!

It’s Saturday, both my banks emailed me in fear today, this isn’t good. Let’s not discuss bank runs over Twitter. 99% of the people talking about banks over Twitter have zero experience outside of this SVB event. Read the room and shut your mouth.

You all realize you’re arguing over someone who as no effect on you or your life right? This is one persons perspective on her current life experience, this is her life, not anyone else’s so who really gives a dam about what she is doing, or not doing… worry about yourself, enrich your own life, and stop reacting to everything. Social media is rotting our lives.

Oh geez, first off calling 911 for this type of crap should be illegal, secondly this guy needs to mind his own dam business and stop acting like he's god of the building amenities, run on your treadmill and go home.

Depends what you’re building but I would say
1. Burn
2. Churn
3. CAC
Revenue might not be as important early on while you prove some assumptions that will drive revenue later.

That’s the 1%.. they use all the “I got stuffed in the locker in high school” anger to get ripped.
Most the time, they are 120 pounds, messy hair, smell like old yogurt and wear the same clothes everyday.. but have $300,000 in a checking account. 😂

Fast CEO is spending all the VC money doing dumb shit like driving race cars and boats, flying planes and traveling the world.. He tried to get me to come lead their design but I can’t follow such a detached leader of a company, he’s too focused on vacations and having fun.

I quit my job to build my company and raise VC funds, but I’ve seen people hustling at night and can’t quit their job because of family responsibilities. So do what you need to do, raise when you’re ready not when you’re “hustling” that means nothing, it’s all about shipping.

Wouldn’t it be cool if VCs told you exactly why they passed? I’m an adult that’s been through a lot of shit in my life; nothing a VCs going to tell me is going to “hurt my feelings” It’s actually great feedback I can use or laugh about.

I’ve found the best approach is make connections on Twitter with journalists. Tell them your story and why people need to know, or should care. It’s actually pretty easy, and it’s free, minus your time.

Lots of variables play into this.
- Age
- Financial responsibilities (kids..etc)
- Location (cost of living )
Personally I think $135-150k is perfectly fine. Anything north of that should be discussed internally for communicating those extra requirements.

Get out of bed immediately, turn on some relaxing but stimulating music, start a shower (hot then cold 20-30 seconds).. coffee followed by a 3-5km walk on the sea wall = Ready for the day

I worked full time while building my last startup, then we closed a $400K seed and I quit my job.. some people don’t have the option to quit working because they’re monthly nut and family responsibilities are priority number 1.

Just pick a niche and run, Example: you can be email marketing for Dentists and your product is really no different than Mailchimp. It's all in how you market and position your product. (Mailchimp isn't relatable to dentists)

Im still using @sketch
• Great interface (Yes dark mode)
• Sharing is easy with Sketch cloud
• Collaborating and dev hand off is really easy with Sketch cloud.
• Library is good for me
• No worries about bosses spying on me, or moving my pixels. (Hate that)

I don't like @LoganPaul but he made a good point.. you have zero time to train for boxing, plus no one outside of hockey knows who you are, focus on hockey maybe your career will get better ;)

I have a property manager, I don’t even know who is renting my house. They take 8% basically 1 months rent as their service fee.. it’s well worth it. They also cover the cost when it’s vacant, and remove tenants if needed.

1. Raise 2x your run rate
2. Be cautious of investors promising investments from RUVs..etc.
3. Become a master storyteller
4. Reach out to EVERY investor, and circle back with updates often
5. Take time to reflect, adjust and relax.
6. Be smart with your cap table and deal terms.

The struggle is real, running a startup is fucking hard especially during this economy. Hat tips, high fives and hugs all around.

That’s a very common issue, that’s why people leave equity on the table.
You should chat with @geoffrey_fyi pretty smart with this stuff.
Tax problem solved if you purchased the vested equity through an IRA specifically a back door Roth IRA.

Their own biases get in the way from understanding the potential of the product. Not enough time understanding the larger picture with the founders.

The hard part is dealing with the down turns and second guessing yourself or your company, and then battling back mentally to keep fighting because you are the company’s heart beat, you’re the one meant to do this.

This is why it will never become mainstream, I did the same thing for two friends who are very technically average people. Lots of “this makes no sense” and “god dam nerds make everything 10x harder then it needs to be” 😂 😂

So many big products forget the fundamentals, when athletes start performing poorly they go back to the fundamentals of the game. #startups

Building a startup is a mental roller coaster. The lows are really low, and the highs can be electrifying. Understand you’re never alone and the longer you stay on the field, the higher chance you have of succeeding.
