The best money you spend as a founder isn't on service providers. It's on developing yourself and your team. Outsourcing your thinking feels efficient until you realize you've built a company that can't function without a vendor invoice. Build the muscle in-house. That's the asset that compounds.

My brother @mnvikingsfan & I grew up with giving as a core value, and we’ve experienced the clunkiness of managing corporate philanthropy firsthand. @percentpledge founder Joel Pollick built the exact software we always wished we had. New blog post below👇
Most corporate giving software is clunky, expensive, & ignored by staff. See how our portfolio company @PercentPledge has built a better solution- greatnorthventures.com/how-p…

1/ At 21, while my peers were graduating, my brother and I had to look 1/3 of our team in the eye and tell them they were out of a job. Our first layoff. It was heavy, personal, and a brutal lesson in what it actually means to be an "operator." 🧵

6/ I recently sat down with @graemethickins to dive into the raw, unpolished stories of our journey—from the "mental wall" of 2001 to leading @greatnorthvc.

7/ If you’re a founder in the "trough of sorrow" right now, feeling the weight of the world: This story is for you. You aren't alone, and the scars will eventually be your greatest assets. Read the full story here: greatnorthventures.com/from-…
