Investor/operator; practical fundraising, PMF milestones, and early traction guidance.
Entrepreneurs: NEVER beg a VC for a check, it tickles their ego and rewards disrespect. Grow to $50K MRR, watch them come begging.
VCs aren’t the only INVESTORS that can write you a $250K+ check. If you’re EARLY, start targeting these people: - Family offices - Angel investors (owners, doctors, lawyers, etc.) - Corporate balance sheet investors
Entrepreneurs: if a customer asks for a refund, give it to them immediately and REPLACE them swiftly.
Entrepreneurs: private equity firms OVERVALUED SaaS companies during 2020-21. NOW, those “overvalued” companies are getting marked down 30-60% 🤯 If you’re an investor = BUY distressed assets LOW If you’re a startup founder = CASHFLOW CASHFLOW
Entrepreneurs: if you spent more time on Sunday building than watching the Super Bowl, you're going to WIN.
