    Can’t help but think how much this mentality costs their LPs in terms of compounding return potential not to mention carry $, transaction fees, etc. VC faaar from perfect, but I appreciate the long term mentality

    I had a private equity vet describe the PE strategy to me as “watering your weeds and clipping your flowers” Firms are incentivized to bag the winners quickly and you see this play out with PE shops buying and selling to each other repeatedly

    Domino's is an amazing case study for the power of tech enablement & the stock performance over the last 10yrs reflects that -- UP 3200%!! Now using AI to better predict when an order will be ready to improve operational efficiencies

    I love this and it further demonstrates the opportunity for tech enabling traditional businesses — huge ROI and little to no tech risk. In last 2 days seen tv commercials for Petsmart, Land Rover and Hilton touting their mobile apps

    Marketing lessons learned over more than a decade growing startups (thread): Great marketing emanates from a great product. If the product sucks no amount of world class marketing can redeem it. Marketing can help make a good product great––it will never make a bad product good.

    Ikea knows its not a tech co, but it also knows tech is good business -- drove early adoption of LEDs, Qi charging, voice assistants and leverage key partnerships with Sonos and Altran. Focus on their strengths use bridges to cover weaknesses via

    Amazing how Airlines use tech to put customer service burden back on customers -- check-in, boarding pass, bag tags, etc. And we LOVE it. No standing in line to talk to agents! So many more opps for Tech Enablement

    In VC, you are either the best or fighting to be the best. Otherwise there are better ways to try to make money.

    I also think many people in venture would be surprised to see the level of consistent returns the top PE firms generate

    Love this chart. Believe Swensen published a version of this many yrs ago. VC has lower avg returns than equities, RE, and PE with sig higher variance. Also a sig smaller market in $ terms. Outside of top VCs, LP money better off elsewhere
