    If your startup can get people to prepay and you have high margins, it is amazing what happens in terms of capital efficiency. As a founder a $100 million outcome will be the same as a billion dollar outcome for you personally because how much of the company you will still own.

    It’s less about d2c and more about how great your product is. D2C just enables great product to get to people more easily.

    "Forget golf courses and cigars: A new networking startup is focused on executive women." (Hey, if we're going to play into these gendered stereotypes, I am - always - up for a steak and whiskey if you're paying.)

    A Founder CEO that has never scaled a business who brings on a #2 to help her/him is not a sign of weakness. Exact opposite. A real sign of strength.

    Project “by “ kicking off with Pizza Mia in NY. The idea: if the incredible Slice team was to take over SMB pizza shops and run their brand, marketing, technology, online ordering, customer experience, supplies, how would the business perform? We’re about to find out 🚀

    For founders taking capital from a multistage fund in the seed round, signaling risk is real. For those that say it isn't, they are lying.

    Great startup operators are great at running companies but not necessary at great startup ideas. As VCs, we are in the business of studying business models all day and get access to all this info. Tip for future founders talk to VCs and tap their learnings as you think of ideas.

    What's the difference between a Managed Marketplace and a Services Company? Did VCs just coin services differently so we can get it valued at a higher multiple?

    NYC has all these bankers, consultants and lawyers trying to leave their industry to be entrepreneurs. Yet, very few are thinking of any ideas trying to disrupt the industries they are coming from. Why?

    Advice I gave to some friends who are raising sub $20 million seed funds. Don’t reserve & go “one and done”. Buy your ownership upfront bc this will be the cheapest time. Your losers will lose more but your winners as long as you have some really good ones will carry the fund.

    When evaluating founder talent, I usually ask myself - "if I were running a very similar company, would I want to compete against that person?". If I wouldn’t, that is a great sign that I should invest. I am really competitive btw.

    Seed stage consumer companies like to have a multichannel marketing strategy initially. They usually find signal in one channel and try to scale that up. Trying to make even one channel scale requires a lot of work. Assume you will focus on 1 or 2 channels at most early on.
