    With SaaS you need exponential growth, doubling or tripling ARR every year for four or five years if you want to get to post-startup scale before investor interest wanes. But that growth doesn't usually start at founding

    Hear discuss on the journey to $1M ARR and how that took 3.5 years with the core product. Love to hear your experiences and observations on the average and expectations ?

    Being Public +1 on this one. Running a company well is the thing, and the discipline and scrutiny of doing so in the public domain builds important muscles that benefit the company, its employees, its shareholders and the community.

    My wife is way too kind. Commercial air travel is broken, with leading the way. Whether a Premier Platinum member like me, or regular civilians like my wife and children, this airline’s performance has fallen off a cliff

    three flights on your airlines this week. 1 cancelled flight and two 2 plus hit delays. Wow. Today it’s equipment issues. Reboarded 90 min ago after 2 hours of delays. Get it together.

    An important and powerful read. Lack of empathy and insensitivity to others’ cultures and ethnicities is not ok. There are few things worse than a child feeling badly about their ethnicity, religion, culture or appearance. These are wounds not easily healed.

    You’re 8 years old. Your 3rd grade class orders chinese food & your father delivers it. You are so excited to see your pops in school. He’s your hero. But apparently other kids don’t think he’s so cool. They laugh at him and mimic his accent. You don’t want to be Chinese anymore.

    Well-said ⁦⁩. This has been my take after many years across many markets. Invest in assets whose expected returns exceed the cost to finance them, maintain a measure of liquidity as insurance against cash flow vol and return the rest.

    Radical honesty + a good and sobering read. Outside the glamour of the big established firms, this is what the engine room of an emerging manager looks like. NB: IT’S HARD.

    So true. Separating ego (what you need and makes you feel effective) from impact (what the company can actually benefit from) is among the greatest challenges of a good investor. You constantly need to question your motives for intervening

    A “challenge” of venture is that unlike operating, priorities aren’t as clear and rarely does something feel urgent. So the challenge is to think about how to help a company without simply doing it to make oneself feel productive.
