    In startups it's not enough to just be right. You have to be right about a lot of people wanting to give you money very quickly. Anything else is horse shoes and hand grenades.

    The main problem with converts/SAFEs for angels is that since you're not buying stock yet, the expected loss of tax benefits from QSBS offsets the discount you get

    From Crucial Conversations: the first mistake people make is trying to fix the other person. You can't fix another person. You might be able to fix yourself a little bit if you try. Others might be able to fix themselves a bit if they try.

    Really, you just need a lot of good signs to get your startup working. Tech doesn't have to be one of them. Tech does make the scalability part easier.

    The more I work w/startups, the more I believe they should ignore traction metrics (ARR, growth rate, etc) until they're close to product/market fit. Once you report that you grew 50%/mo & hit $3k MRR, your team & investors will focus on optimizing traction instead of learning.

    Gig work isn't employment. It's a small business (one person) contracting through a marketplace. The future is probably more of this corporation of one arrangement as technology enables individuals to be as effective as teams used to be.

    Following up with prospects is important for closing, but it doesn't work if you forget to remind them what the hell you do.

    If you want to help someone, give them a hand. If you want to hinder them, give them an excuse. If you want to *destroy* them, give them an excuse that compels them to spit into the next hand extended to them.
