Our family joined a new sports team this year, which plays at an out of state tournament (approx 6 months from now). The team hotel info was shared recently, so I went into my credit card travel portal to book the same hotel for $200 cheaper.

No replacement for a friend, spouse, coworker who is right there with you when you say, “I feel like a snack, ” and then they proceed to make a quesadilla, hunt down the nearest smoked wings, or shamelessly rip open a bag of chips. These are my ride-or-dies.

Angel groups directing efforts & capital to raising funds in order to do Seed & Series A leaves a serious gap in ecosystems, esp in under-backed cities.

We can’t completely solve this at @fireroadvc (b/c we still need actual angels) but we ARE filling parts of this critical gap with our inception stage thesis

Competing against in-house tools by Anna Debenham link.medium.com/euYint6sDFb from @Boldstartvc. Selling enterprise SaaS is going to get exponentially harder, and not enough founders appreciate that reality.

If you're an early-stage SaaS company, your race to traction isn't against competitors, it's against in-house, AI-enabled engineering & dev.

Let’s stop calling consequences for cheating “adversity” like it’s some external force. #BigTenChampionship Adversity for the athletes, maybe sure. But absolutely not for the program and the coaches.
