No single blog post can prepare a founder for the ultra-marathon of fundraising, but this step-by-step guide from @epaley is a great place to start: medium.com/@foundercollectiv… #CollectiveWisdom
There are also MAGNETIC #femaleathletes. None on this stage. Please next year give them voice🏄🏻♀️💪#NuitdelaGlisse #womenpower
Love this book but it should be renamed Stories for Girls. Just that. Stop thinking about women accomplishing things as rebels.
Having LPs asking for diversity is key. But even more, promoting role models who show that it’s OK to try. And fail pitchbook.com/news/articles/…

I have started to avoid using words like best or worst. Best than what? Worst for who? Let’s contextualize to avoid falling into traps – at Paris, France

Investors have different incentives than founders.
What investors often look for in a “great” founder is irrational behavior that the investor doesn’t engage in themselves.
I.e., 80-hour weeks for 10 years, passing up a big acquisition to go for broke, zero diversification.

5/ Similarly data is both friend and foe. Early data, whether good or bad, often has very poor predictive capabilities and / or is not statistically meaningful. As for product design, be data informed but not data driven.
Get off the main road to find what others won’t.
Loved this one by @micahjay1 – at Noirmoutier-en-l'Ile, France

Lesson from interviewing the world’s best founders on @twentyminutevc the best founders appreciate:
1.) Many people can build products, only a few can build companies. North Star, culture and team start at Day 1.
2.) They should be paranoid but in a healthy, controlled way.

Que razón tienes. No son nuestros o de los otros. Todos son dirigentes y nos representan. Y hay que pedir cuentas con el mismo baremo. nitter.gq/juan_barea/status/1007… – at Brooklyn, NY

good question for entreps (and VCs) to ask prospective VC partners - how many checks have you written in the last 12 mos and what was total $ invested, lead v follow, how did you pick those investments and how often do you speak to those founders
