"One of the biggest mistakes I see founders make is pitching before actually being VC ready. Venture capitalists have pretty set procedures and also can be harsh: once someone passes oftentimes they wont re-engage. So its critical to have the correct materials and storytelling down before you go out at risk of missing opportunities for being too early #venturecapital #startupfounder #fundraising"

"This concept in general is something i urge people to understand when theyre applying for jobs in venture capital or in any field honestly. You need to know what the top is what life is outside of your bubble etc. to be abl to act effectively. Especially goes for startups and VC.

"This seems like common sense to me but when youre asking for an intro to a venture capitalist or to another investor/startup founder youre asking for a favor. The easier of a favor youre asking for the more likely it is that its going to get done. Same logic applies for why you shouldnt ask random people for intros because youre asking people who dont know you for a favor #venturecapital #careertok #networking #startuptiktok"

In venture capital there is really only one way to get rich and thats to start your own fund.

"UPDATE: Cognition acquired Windsurf remains Still an evolving situation. Am going to wait until the dust settles before making a follow up. For the sake of everyone involved I really hope that theres more to this than meets the eye. I like to believe people are not inherently evil but this does not look good. Hypothetically the acquisition also leaves $100MM in the bank which could clear the options for remaining employees Dont know how that would work with existing contracts though. Very shady in general #venturecapital #windsurf #startupfounder"

"Replying to @retard venture studios also fall under this same moniker. basically all of these people will provide some additional service in exchange for more equity because thats how they drive outsized returns (at least thats what they tell their LPs) but usually end up suffering from major adverse selection on the founders that will take those terms. when I do incubations you make sure its a great team and you basically trade a couple percent of the startup for guaranteed funding before launch which is a very different approach to antler or a studio #venturecapital #startupfounder"

"IMO the best time to raise is at the beginning of the new year but the true and best advice is you should start your raise whenever you need the money (or are X months out from needing the money ideally). Deals get done year round Ive personally closed deals on vacation and fought for deals I ended up losing on vacation. But some VCs youll just never hear from over the summer or during the winter holidays #venturecapital #startupfounder #fundraising"

"This was also something I got asked in a DM - its usually pretty straightforward to raise the rest of a round. Not always but most VCs have networks of people that like to do deals together and once theyll issue a term sheet the rest falls into line quickly. If it doesnt that also means you may not have found a great lead #venturecapital #startupfounder #fundraising"

"Replying to @User4356365 something Ive made videos hinting at but never discussing directly your market is probably smaller than you think.

"Replying to @ clarifying this because it seems to come up a lot: Ive written models that can do most of the pattern matching job of venture capital but usually the issue isnt knowing what deals are the right deals its getting allocations supporting them and company/LP relationship management. These are all intangibles that at least for the foreseeable future cant be replaced by an AI startups dont want to talk to a computer LPs dont want a chat bot. Hence venture capital will be one of the slower parts of finance to be taken over #venturecapital #artificialintelligence #startupfounder"

"Replying to @hello_world_789 making this video because growth equity is also often conflated with VC. Growth equity is far closer to LBO/traditional private equity investing than early stage venture capital many more spreadsheets excel models etc. also a different underwriting profile as usually its a shorter timeline to exit but capped initial upside unless youre holding. Thats why its laughable to call someone like Tiger global a VC firm because they tried to go before series B a few years ago and got destroyed on returns. You cant model a series a in a spreadsheet much more intangible of"

"#stitch with @monkeyz I wouldnt normally stitch a video like this but it was giving Y2K energy and internet fear. Yes the world is constantly changing. Yes there will be bad actors in every version of this world. No trying to stop change will not help that. If you dont learn how to use artificial intelligence if you dont learn how these models work and why they work you will be left behind. Doesnt change that were on an AI investment bubble but the models just arent as good as people are claiming. Also a very real point that ChatGPT makes no money on consumer contracts so if you really want"
