Things I’d do differently as a 2nd time founder: 1) Stop being CEO the second I’m no longer best qualified or stop enjoying the role 2) Prioritize way more ruthlessly 3) Hire via freelance-to-full time way more frequently 4) Use EOS on day 1 5) Create a personal operating manual for teammates like @chughesjohnson 6) Set an expectation of Radical Candor (h/t @kimballscott) with all employees as part of onboarding 7) Raise $ via an SPV vs collecting 28 individual checks and docs 8) Spend more time talking to customers 9) Use @storyarb to help me create content so I can focus more time on building 10) Have 2 no-call days per week 11) Issue C-Corp shares ASAP so the QSBS timer starts 12) Monthly temperature checks with co-founder 13) Hire someone who handles ops/HR earlier 14) “Traction” and “15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership” are required reading 15) Use @focusmate for deep work sessions

We, like all VCs, had to write a note to our LPs today. I thought it worth sharing the intro below. SVB's failure is all of our loss.

The Boulder County Board of County Commissioners just voted 2-1 to DENY the Cemex 15-year mining permit extension at Dowe Flats! Thank you to all who participated. Your voice made a difference!

It’s hard to believe the Boulder County Commissioners might allow their #1 polluter to keep going for 15 more years. If you want to see mining stopped, please consider signing this petition! bit.ly/3qhLSVx

Founders have an incredibly annoying attention-to-detail * They see every typo * Notice every time anyone is late * Catch 10,000 bugs * Remember every time anyone said they'd do something It's not that they don't have anything better to do It's just, start-ups die otherwise

MASKS One comment about masks and nonlinearities that these imbeciles are not getting. Reducing exposure to viruses by 30% thanks to an "imperfect" mask does not mean reducing risk of contracting the disease by just 30%. By convexity, it must be more than 30%, can even be 95%.
