    More proof is a badass. 🙂

    “I started a $1B company, but I have friends who started $10B companies, $30B cos. And those guys are looking up at Zuck, and that guy’s probably looking at Steve Jobs and being like, “I wish I was Steve Jobs.” And Steve Jobs is fucking dead.”

    Great thread on founder characteristics 🙂

    1) There’s no one mold for a successful founder.

    Yet another great post by "One other thing Paul and I had in common was that we weren't driven by money. We were interested in startups and we wanted to help people start more of them. This was the basis for everything we did at YC."

    Housing is killing the golden goose of small startup innovation in the SF Bay. Funny enough it is big tech salaries (Google Apple Facebook) that is driving this massive shift pushing new startup creation everywhere else.

    Lots of wisdom from At a high growth company every 6-12 months you effectively have a new company: different scale, different org structure, different people. Going from 100 to 400 means 75% of people are new and there is >= 1 more layers between the average person & CEO

    One lesson going from <100 people to >400 people in a short period is you can't repeat key internal messages, themes and strategies enough. Any month, double digit % of company is new and has 0 historical context. Your January All Hands is effectively forgotten by June.

    Great post from ⁦⁩. Pre-emptive rounds not only thing common these days. Also: - quick step up A-1, B-1 rounds - large cap/uncapped late stage convertible notes - financings 1.5-3x larger than company originally intended - large secondaries

    11/ For founders, minuses of pre-emption include no competition on the round. If you let the same firm pre-empt over & over, you also have fewer people around the table to help you build a business. This can either be good to help you focus, or bad if need diversity of thought.

    10/ For founders, pre-emption has plusses and minuses. Plusses include ability to raise money cheaply and early and to work with investors you respect and trust.

    9/ For some investors, pre-emption will backfire. Investing in late stage companies is hard. Investing with little data is incredibly hard. A few will hit it big by preempting the next Uber or Airbnb or Stripe.

    8/ 4. Outcomes are bigger then ever. The multiples in later stage rounds are higher then before if you pick the right winner. More investors are willing to pay ahead in case the company will be a megacorn.

    7/ 3. "Greed" has worked in the past. Sequoia and Whatsapp or A16Z and Github are good examples where doubling down has created outsized returns.
