The first Venture Fund for everyone. Join us!

Considering a rule of not investing in any 2x+ founders who didn’t send regular investor update in their previous company. 

The best founders I have worked with (and would back again) all did them, or at least called regularly, regardless of the outcome of the company.

Pretty good Black Friday. I saved…. all of my money.

New team members can increase speed in execution, but destroys speed in decision making, fixing core problems in a business, gathering feedback, etc. 

> Feedback loop gets longer (time). 
> Adds layers (dilution) between founder and data, customers, etc. 
> Too many people to keep happy in each decision (burden of proof goes up). 

Leaves founders a few options when decision making and data collection is most important:

> Don't hire anyone, reduce the team size. This is increasingly a great option given AI or if the founders just need a little more time to dial in. 
> Choose someone who can take the wiplash and just do the work, but they have to be extremely fast. 
> Choose someone who is a founder in their own write but within the org, but they have to have extremely good judgement.

One of our coolest investments is looking for a Power Systems Engineer.

▶ Drove prioritization, experimentation, concept development, and success measurement for a network-based HealthTech workflow software utilized by 450K daily users, generating 30-60% CAGR and 9-figure revenue and profit annually while our engineering team size declined from 70 to 40

▶ Strategized and executed a critical initiative to restore team effectiveness among the 15 teams, 150 leaders, and 800 team members of a large, transformational program ($210MM spend) resulting in dramatically improved trust, decision-making speed, and delivery velocity in 6-12 months
