This piece, more than any I've read, nails what we do at Impellent and why we think we're a bit different - told from a vantage that surrounds Tariq's joining the firm. Beautiful prose, to boot. In any case, have a read if there's an interest. Great storytelling.

The amount of bridge rounds in market right now is not surprising considering the fallout of 2020/21, but yet all the same is still breathtaking in sheer volume.

Focus on your winners is such BS VC advice. You make your name and rep working with founders in tough situations, and things can really turn around. If they don't, these are the founders who will build the next great comapny.

This whole debate about where you need to be to build a startup is silly. Can't we just agree that you can create a great company from anywhere as long as you're determined, have a bit of luck, and are in the bay area?

Hot take: NO ONE actually wants AI to: 1) Book their vacations 2) Order a random pizza 3) Have access to their bank account Why are we creating tech no one wants?

This is the correct take. Buncha assholes yelling at people and other assholes cheering them on, mostly.

Excited to launch our SAAS for recipe creators. The market has exploded, but they're cobbling things together that weren't built for them. Jumping back into B2B with a freemium offering built exclusively for recipe creators. Grow, engage + monetize a recipe audience. Never been so excited. Live in a few weeks.

Carta shouldn't have done that. It's a massive breach of corporate ethics. The CEO shouldn't have responded the way he did. A little contrition goes a long way. If you fuck up, apologize and do something about it. Now his fate is up to the furies. C'est la vie.
