Terrific post from @jwdanner on the current fundraising climate and its impact on companies searching for product/market fit.

Really good, honest post from @adampnathan on the ups and downs of the founder journey.

Great thread. I have the opposite take on this point: I think it's easier to fake it. You can get a 10x markup on a company within months of a seed round. The 10x no longer means anything -- but it LOOKS good. Now you can tell future LPs your first 10 bets are ~2x after <1 yr..🧐

Incredible thread about Tiger. I feel like a few years from now, working with many larger venture firms instead of Tiger will be the equivalent of "support your local business." ("The operational efficiency and economics are worse, but don't you want to support the little guy?")

Great post from @GuptaRK22 about a challenging period in Instacart's history.

Excellent post by @pratyushbuddiga on being a better storyteller. This advice is great for fundraising and for recruiting.

Another great thread on SF from @michelletandler. I was a liberal but gradually shifted to libertarianism because free markets are much better at improving people's lives than the govt. I DM'ed Michelle some though about this, & figured I'd repost publicly if anyone's interested.

A good post on the subject:

Also, Founder's Dilemmas is an excellent book.

Incredible read from @DanLebrero. "But life had other plans ..."

had a good post on this, too.
