Taking startup advice from a career BigCo middle manager is like asking a dairy cow how to win the Kentucky Derby.

If you want to get rich without losing your mind just move to the Midwest and become a full time angel investor. Only take pitches over 18 holes. Send term sheets for $51K for 51%. Find one Luke Farritor a year and you’ll be retired within 10. It’s really not that complicated.

Percent of Twin Cities MSA residents that are black = 8.5%. Percent of Twin Cities MSA residents that are black that have raised > $1M in VC in last 5 years = 0.00097%. Pick any factor related to wealth and power and plug into the second figure and it still works.
…and employees got no equity.
JUST IN: Mailchimp has been acquired by Intuit for $12 billion — the biggest-ever deal for a privately-held bootstrapped company, as Mailchimp took no outside funding since its 2001 founding. trib.al/r9sJfOG
Okay now I’ve seen everything. Marketing agency with no significant product or startup track record launches a venture fund promising “unprecedented access to the future” despite a logo lineup that screams yesterday’s news. Pass. demosfunds.io/
PSA: if you’re a senior eng in the Twin Cities and aren’t making at least $200k in total comp (or risk-adjusted equity equivalent) you’re being played
If you know you’re being played and aren’t looking elsewhere, you’re playing yourself
This is fucked up. Everyone knows I’m your favorite fake billionaire investor.
Even your favorite fake billionaire investor can't wait for Thursday's #Minnedemo Back to Campus.
Don't miss the fun #MNtech - see you there Thursday at noon CST!

Minnesota tech ppl: @melvincarter3 is the hardest working mayor in the tech community
@FrancisSuarez: hold my cerveza
Too many people trying to “skate where the puck is going” (🤮) when they can’t even keep up with where the puck at right now smh
Let’s get one thing straight: if you in VC, you in finance, not tech.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
lmao at the people who put “tech leader” in their LinkedIn bio and then proceed to wear a suit and tie in the profile pic 😂

They all are @jyarow - which is the key point. Systematic errors come from a systematically flawed process, which we have here. When you intentionally restrict demand & target 30X oversubscribed, there is no other expected result. But its real money.
Wow, $JAMF popping 75% on open is an absolute clusterfuck.
They just let their bankers give about $360M of *money that is rightfully theirs* away to fund managers.
A massive, massive mispricing that their employees and shareholders ought to sue over.
