Every winning startup has one thing in common: a killer go-to-market strategy. And behind every killer go-to-market strategy is an inventive team of marketers… We’re always looking to meet the folks responsible for skyrocketing startups into household names 🚀

As investors, we have a fiduciary duty to our limited partners . . . and I’m not quite sure how that’s happening when you’re not on the board. Great reporting by @MilesKruppa @FinancialTimes here. ft.com/content/8f8bb2

You buying what they're selling? On the heels of a big slate of retail earnings, @CanvasVC General Partner @newmike likes what he's seeing from $WMT's e-commerce business, calling $TGT "a question mark" that's falling behind.

"It’s a tricky environment right now—we haven’t seen the bottom. You’re looking for that balance, for that diversification. There are a few great tech names that are down 60% that have tremendous earnings power and market share gains. Cloudflare, Snowflake are good examples”
