@TechCrunch I can firmly say @bhorowitz changed the trajectory of my life in 2020. He helped me get funded by a tier 1 seed VC, which set off a $9mm fundraising journey the last few years. We are ⬆️ 10x this year from leading enterprises, and I can trace every single client back to @a16z .

What’s crazy about a start up, is that you can get so caught up in the maniacal obsession on how far you are from where you want to be, that you don’t pause and reflect on how far you’ve come. I’m proud of my team, and I’m deeply humbled by how far we have to go at the same time.

Finding true product market fit is the hardest part of the journey for software start up founders. It’s so easy to build tech enabled managed services. Have a nice brand, and some hustlers, boom, you have $2mm in revenue. The harder path, is obsessing over PMF.

Respect to people who are not afraid to be the first investor, the first strategic partner, the first client, the first recurring paid client, or the first big check. Founders, honor these people. It takes courage to take bets on people when it’s not completely obvious.

Sometimes being an outsider that’s slightly inside is just what the doctor ordered for the true insights of the magnitude of a particular problem. Those fresh eyes naturally see the gaps very clear because its not skewed by status quo. Entrepreneurs go touch the problem up close.
