Median time between seed and Series A is now very close to 2 years. From A to B or B to C it is over 2 years…
Don’t be caught with not enough cash…

Had a great time moderating the closing panel of the Venture Days conference on the 'Current State of Venture Capital'...
🙏 to my friends @JeremyShure @mmcgraw51 @VLaurenty @philippenyssen @BancaSella @inovia
Excellent event by @Luxinnovation @lpea_lux in #Luxembourg
I try to post this, one of my favorite blog posts, every year. It’s by the great @nglaros, from 2017.
Enjoy this gift of a read as the new year approaches.

Such a pleasure catching up with my @KauffmanFellows friends from around the world this afternoon 🤩
My three favorite versions are the original by Sublime, this one by Blues Traveler (below) and of course the live version by @scottmelker, not necessarily in that order.

Thread (Diverse Emerging Manager VC Banking)
1/ With so much recent change, hope to see a bank leader committed to VC fund lending (ie: cap call + GP lines) for diverse/female EM's.
If not, a huge gap in the market, including the needed products + expertise of banks/bankers.
3/With the new teams at Stifel and HSBC, curious if either will emerge as a lending partner to VC funds? Especifically to EM's?
Companies like Mercury/Brex seem to offer very strong fund + company banking platforms, but I don't think solve for the cap call lines/GP commits?
Needed a little of this today, it’s just so good.
Chris Cornell x John Lennon 🔥.
Both gone way too soon.

Dear @LEGO_Group,
As a Die Hard fan, proposing Lego sell a Nakatomi Plaza adult lego set.
Like the recent The Office set, but 35 floors.
With all characters (including both special Agent Johnsons), helicopters, Al’s squad car, and of course Argyle’s stretch limo. – at Harrison, NY
Two of my favorites and among the smartest and thoughtful in the business.
Excited for this one with @MeghanKReynolds and @Samirkaji. – at Harrison, NY
🎙️Episode 107 is a special LP fundraising focused episode with @MeghanKReynolds of Altimeter cc: @altcap
Listen to hear:
- How she approaches LP relationships
- The art of strategic fundraising
- The right way to think about LPACs
- Ways solo-Gps can think about raising
Big takeaway from this 🔥 panel on Open Banking at #EmpireFinTech:
The key to evolving toward open banking is COLLABORATION among companies and encouragement of it by VCs.
Nice job, @emily__man, @megnakamura, @Elle_Nav_Bruno, @MarkChorazak and Mike Nugent.
Re: #EmpireFinTech
Why is this conference different from all other conferences?
Because they have BOTTLED SHIRLEY TEMPLES.
@JonZanoff + @EmpireStartups team, you crushed it again.
Congrats. Amazing fintech conference.

An hour of my life I will never get back but was sort of worth it...
ChatGPT to create lyrics for We Didn't Start the Fire from 1990-2020.
Included 7 or 8 iternations back and forth, including websites as references guides +making sure the verse patterns followed the original.
Here’s my TV show pitch:
Succession meets Schitt’s Creek meets Ted Lasso.
-Roy family loses their money.
-Roman’s only remaining asset is the random birthday gift he forgot he bought, the Hearts soccer team.
-Roman coaches the Hearts for three epic seasons.
