The theme of this year’s  World Mental Health Day  on 10 October is “Mental Health is a universal human right.” Yet, even though most entrepreneurs have access to mental health services, and 72% of entrepreneurs report experiencing mental health challenges (versus 48% of the general population), far too few entrepreneurs seek help when mental health issues arise.

At Launchpad, we invest in dozens of companies every year. In the past, we frequently faced situations where we put a lot of work into diligence with a company and suddenly found out we were miles apart on deal term expectations and couldn't close the gap.

Timing, tactics, and a little bit of luck. Starting my first company, LearnDash, wasn’t about chasing the million-dollar dream. It was about building something valuable that could transform how people experience online learning. More selfishly, it was about creating a “lifestyle business”. At that point in my life, I was living in a hotel room four to five days a week as an e-learning consultant.

Which tasks will be augmented by large language models (LLMs), and which ones will be completely upended by them? How will creative AI models change our expectations of what we can do with computers?

A note is a loan. That is, a lender gives a company $100, and the company writes a note to the lender stating "we will pay you back $100 one year from today, along with 10% [or some other number] per year interest". The convertible part means that in addition to the straight repayment mentioned above, the lender and the company agree that instead of the company paying back the loan in cash, if the company raises money by selling stock to another investor before the loan is due, then the original
