    what a lot of Series A funds are really asking is "what did you get done on that $1-2M seed money?" and if I extrapolate that with $5-10m...

    One unique aspect of the venture ecosystem is that most don't view it as a fixed pie business - I win, you lose - but rather a pay-it-forward business. It feels like it may be a changing a bit, and I hope it doesn't. (maybe inevitable as an industry matures?)

    Great post - think of the fads of dieting when creating a new consumer category - are you building and educating a fundamentally new experience or a fad?

    My most used and most heard expression between VCs "Lets find something to work together on..."

    Just reviewed our top 20 value drivers in our portfolio since inception. Virtually all were first time founders.

    Counterintuitively, VC firms often raise more money when they think multiples are going down. As the market becomes more competitive, and returns are compressed, venture (and PE generally) tends to raise more $ to generate better absolute dollar returns instead of higher IRRs.

    This is from our not so secret weapon - the Jedi slide master. The team slide is arguably the most important slide in the deck.

    The next generation of kids will have noise canceling implanted in their ears when they're young, like ear piercings. Maybe future product offering, Studs? cc

    I think folks (even the investors themselves) are surprised to see that even for funds w multi billion dollar exits, these exits often do 1-2x fund at best and often much less.

    More and more founders are sighting macroeconomic risk to justify larger rounds. I have mixed feelings. It makes logical sense, but also entails all the risks of over-raising. Thoughts?

    One of the few things not covered on VC twitter often is how VCs mark their portfolio cos quarter to quarter. Feels like part art, part science, part marketing, part psychology.

    Startups in the Bay are more likely to die of indigestion. Startups outside the Bay are more likely to die of starvation.

    By ignoring multiples in early rounds, I think we do a disservice to future rounds and exits because companies seem to gravitate back towards their category multiples. I wouldn't advocate overly focusing on it, but arbitrary or set pre/posts seem overly simplistic.

    The business of sports has captured the interest of young sports fans. If you play or have kids that play sports videogames (E.g. Madden '20), its no longer just the game - they create a whole narrative around the draft, sponsors, college, etc.

    Some investors are thrilled when a portfolio co closes a big, high priced round. I, myself, get really anxious.

    One unique attribute of the Bay Area is that when a company has an exit of some sort, the founders and others almost always become a formal or informal angel group. This perpetuates and strengthens the tech/start-up ecosystem. Hopefully we'll see more of this elsewhere.
