Do not take money from a VC who hasn’t run a company for a few years / period. It won’t work out. I’m in deals with a couple and they’re useless. All they do is drain energy / never help. 💯 of the time.

@steviemctweets 30% or more of our founders fit into these categories - about 15-20x the average. It’s not intentional - it just is what it is. We invest in winners, and winners come in all colors and genders.

@schlaf @notion My highest performing investments have been based on intuition and how I feel about the market and founders. Not the best approach for everyone but all seed companies that I funded and have a valuation of $1b+ fit this criteria. SFSC, Uber, Sonder, Carta. We do have 10 filters.

When we first invested in Wag in the seed round we thought it might be a decent size company with a "good" return. Now, with $300m of fresh capital, it feels like they're just getting started.

@BrianBrackeen That’s not necessarily true. I’ve made 3 investments at $50k or less (out of funds $50m or less or personal $) and made 200x-10,000x my investment (and many more at 10x, which is a win). Asking about a trillion $$ exit is silly, though.
