Advice I’ve given to many portcos recently: - Set an emergency button 🚨 - Make it objective, so that the default option is the desired action - Trigger could be runway threshold or user growth # or revenue run rate - Action could be layoffs, fundraise, change product approach

For the next hour, I'm answering questions on the @inside AMA here: inside.com/vc/posts/ama-with… Come on by and fire away!
If you don’t have at least 15 months of runway, you’ll need to let people go – and the earlier you do it, the better. The worst thing you can do is start with a small round of layoffs, only to make a second round of cuts – it will kill morale and essentially cause more harm.
Current headlines might have you worried about the future of edtech, but we’re here to offer a different perspective. Read @EdSurge’s interview with our founder and general partner, @batraatin, on why the worries are overhyped, here: edsurge.com/news/2022-05-31-… #edtech

With great power (usage) comes great (ethical) responsibility. EdTech companies are revolutionizing learning, but like any fast growing industry- best practices continue to develop & refine. There's no doubt edtech is paving a safe & beneficial path. edtechnology.co.uk/internati…
"For every dollar spent, you should earn at least one dollar back. Think about cash burn from a gross versus net perspective, so that your revenue just becomes a bonus.” - @batraatin

Cliches are cliches for a reason. In business, as in life, timing is everything. The best way to take advantage of opportunity is to always be prepared to pounce. Build lasting relationships, co-create goals everyone supports, set yourself up for success by constantly evolving.

With the pandemic receding, many institutions are reverting to the mean, clinging to traditional ways to work rather than embracing recent lessons. As Higher Ed struggles with its place in the world, retaining - & delighting talent - will be crucial. edsurge.com/news/2022-05-02-…
Our founders are key to what 27V is, and we are grateful for the opportunity to encourage such a talented community. #27vfam
The educational landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. Traditional institutions are desperately looking to stay with the times - preparing students for rapid economic challenges, social changes, new jobs & tech advancements in the workplace. entrepreneur.com/article/423…
Q: How does 27V support founders? A: ’27V is more than a Fund, it’s a Founder Fellowship’. We support our portfolio founders in many ways - active Slack group, weekly learning sessions with the #27Vfam, and sprints with @batraatin.
