    Founders are beasts 🦸‍♂️ In the morning they sell 🕺🏼 In the afternoon they recruit and manage 👩‍🍳 In the night they do payroll and tax returns 👩‍🏫 At the weekend they work on strategy and the 500 emails they didn’t get to 👩‍🚒 All that when they’re not fundraising of course 🤦🏽‍♂️

    Really smart person I know ended up after 15 years with a really awful investment track record ... for one simple reason He was anticipating the future correctly but would always be a few years too early. High upside delivered too late doesn’t deliver returns. Tough game.

    How about - sustainably generating reasonable to strong IRRs because you are in the disciplined business of creating growing and de-risking these assets called startups (with some kind of edge or talent) and you don’t really care about benchmarks?

    Brophobia: Fear of men having a conversation among themselves. Decontextaphilia: An unhealthy attraction to quoting others out of context. Emotional imperialism: The strange belief that your feelings should dictate someone else’s behavior.

    7/ it reminded me that (A) we lose much sticking to digital communication only (B) alignment around brand, culture and mission is a powerful collective, sustainable asset (C) grabbing markers and drawing on walls is fun Simple, powerful stuff.

    6/ it was like being inside a living organism, where the company’s mission and culture was expressed on the walls and the whole space functioned like a giant collective brain. It felt both exhilarating and incredibly effective.

    5/ Now I’ve seen companies use their physical space before but never quite like this - boards were annotated with comments, everything was color coded, capturing mood, progress, importance.

    4/ Here and there was pictures of the product’s users and contributors, with their names. They were there on the walls living their lives with their families, their friends, their dogs. A constant presence and reminder of who the company serves.

    3/ Across the company small side rooms, each theme was expanded into boards and kanbans, interspersed with graphics, schematics and visuals. By simply walking across the space you understood what each team was working on, what was working and what wasn’t.

    2/ The obeya (big room) has crystal clear representations of the companies foundations, strategic pillars and priorities that gave an instant visual representation of the whole business. OKR were in plain sight as were performance graphs.

    1/ Visited a startup yesterday that uses Kaizen / Lean aggressively; every wall of its office was covered in visuals mapping priorities and progress - I found it incredibly refreshing and invigorating 👇

    Ah, consumerism refined: “When the hook is “Your problem matters,” whatever package of vitamins or tube of lotion gets thrown in the bag is almost beside the point.”

    Always mildly amused by investors seizing on stats that indicate that more capital efficient companies are more successful (as in: they produce higher multiples at exit). Well, D’oh! No shit 😂 Classic example of misusing a statistic to promote a certain view of the world.
