"Founder's Journey: From Fantasy Founder to Day One Warrior This past week was full of ups and downs for the Startup Im working on and it reminded of an important insight that most Founders don't want to accept: Painting a beautiful picture of your company's future is the easy part. Anyone can close their eyes and envision a world where their product is used by millions where their company name is a verb where Investors are clamoring for their Series F and where the only problem is managing hypergrowth. And when I was on the Investor side of the table a big piece of my job was to evaluate"

"Founder's Journey: The Noise is Loud Having an idea that's still taking shape is both exciting and scary. It's like being an artist and staring at a blank canvas. You have an idea of what you want to paint but youre keenly aware that a single misplaced brush stroke could ruin it. This is the moment when Founders can make a critical mistake: Adjusting to feedback too early. I've been guilty of this myself in the past few weeks. The concept Im working on is still raw and the details arent clear but because our team has connections to wickedly smart Investors and industry veterans weve been"

What Claude just told me was encouraging.but should I believe the feedback "Bottom Line: This is publishable literary fiction. Not "maybe publishable if you're lucky" - actually good enough to merit publication. The collaboration improved it significantly but the core voice vision and words were always yours."

But at it's core it's nothing but a trap. People get stuck obsessing over how everythings bound to crash and burn and they lean into it like its some deep hard truth. On the surface theyve got their facts straight: Climate change is real economies are strained and politics are an absolute mess. It makes them feel like theyre seeing the world clearly.

"I'm back in the Founder's seat and can say that Fundraising mode is a whole different beast when you're the one pitching. Having sat in both chairs here's some candid advice for VCs looking to up their game. Founders are in the trenches and small things make a huge difference in building trust (or killing it). 1) Be genuinely nice. Ditch the dismissive or arrogant vibe. Fundraising is hell for most Founders. It's a world of endless rejections and is a high stakes emotional rollercoaster. The last thing we need is someone who treats it like a power play. In one of my pitches recently I had a"

"Are Pre-Seed VCs Pattern Matching Their Way Out of the Best Deals After 70+ conversations with pre-seed investors this month I've noticed something that's been bugging me. Most pre-seed VCs are obsessed with pattern matching. They pride themselves on hunting in the "right" places and evaluating Founders to find the mythical 1%ers. But here's the thing: Since venture has more failures than successes pattern recognition will almost always point you toward reasons NOT to invest. Think about it. Almost every exceptional company traveled a path that would have failed traditional pattern"

"Why VCs Are Chasing AI Speed at All Costs Raising VC capital in todays market is a tale of two cities. The AI haves and the non-AI have nots. Behind this trend is a psychological trap that's reshaping the VC landscape: "Becoming Velocitized." The term "velocitized" comes from driving safety. It's what happens when you cruise at high speeds for too long. You get numb to the pace and suddenly dropping to a normal speed feels painfully slow. You misjudge risks because everything blurs into the rush. Replace "speed" with "growth" and you'll see how this applies to VCs in the AI era. Companies"
