It may turn out that everyone (particularly students) being stuck at home causes net more good startups to be founded. Microsoft and Facebook were both started during Reading Period at Harvard, because that was when the founders had time to work on their own projects.

I am of the belief that pitch competitions and startup battles are bad for entrepreneurship. Starting a company is not about winning a pitch competition it’s about building a meaningful business that adds value to your customers.

Hot take: get your own office 1. Take pride in having your name on the door 2. Feel the pressure of keeping the lights on 3. Design a space that's true to your culture Avoid spaces that make it too easy to throw in the towel when things get tough

The lack of seed stage venture capital in most cities is crazy to me. Once a company has traction, it can get attention from VCs across the world. But at inception, a lack of local capital makes it very hard to get off the ground. I'm bullish that this will improve in the 2020s.

When solo founders pitch customers but use third person pronouns like: “our product” and “we are looking forward to working with you”

Yo make sure that "accelerator" is actually accelerating you enough to justify the massive deceleration of your cap table. I suspect you could have networked your way to 2-3 "mentors" and a half-pilot without promising a pound of flesh, super pro rata, and your first-born.
