Be careful about investor rights This important variation on money talks is an important consideration for entrepreneurs when seeking an investment from professionals such as VCs. Something like a marriage (and often lasting just as long statistically), your investment partner can be a great cheerleader, coach and resource.

Time and time again i hear about founders that have bigger egos then anything else rejecting offers from top tier VC's (like YC ) and eventually leading thier companies to fail. If you do get and offer from top US VC's take them, dont be greedy and stay humble. These VC's will not only help you but will accel your business. Any other accelerator is not the same There is simply nothing else that compares to the quality of these VC's for PRE SEED investment.

It may seem super obvious but people still think they can build complete outliers. Doing that is extremely difficult. Google was not the first search engine and Facebook was not the first social media company.

Ok, so obviously I don’t mean, like, first degree murder. More like manslaughter. Having an early look at autonomy during my time at Google, and then as a seed investor in Cruise, I’ve been insisting for years that the challenge to adoption isn’t primarily in the technology but in our collective definition of what ‘safe enough’ will be.

Thoughts which are somewhere between half-baked and overcooked… It’s been my experience that most venture firms either exist *because* of a partnership, or instead are a collection of partners. The former is about a group of people creating (or inheriting) a firm together because it was the best way for them to accomplish something they wanted to do.

I have been a serial entrepreneur for over 25 years now. Each of the businesses I built included a healthy dose of search engine marketing, anchored by Google, the "big dog on the block." Google controls over 90% of all searches completed on the internet worldwide, a market share it has held for the last decade. It was never imaginable that anyone could ever take Google down off its perch.

It’s GP musical chairs season – more VCs are leaving (or being asked to leave) their firms. But what rarely gets discussed in this coverage, or their ‘greener pastures’ blog posts, is the impact upon their portfolio companies. My advice still generally looks like what I wrote in 2019, perhaps with a bit more sensitivity to post-ZIRP realities (as a founder you might not be able to accelerate your next fundraise as easily as I suggested back then).

38 of the 50 states and DC. Those are the geographies in which sports gambling is now legal. Billions of betting dollars change hands annually on the outcomes of NFL, NBA, and other games. Some of this might have moved from underground into legit channels but I suspect most of it is new to the system. To most participants this is just good fun. For a very very small number it’s profitable.
