When you have a rough quarter,
Watch how your VPs present at the next board meeting.
The ones that own it are keepers.
The ones that blame others, won't make it.
I’m honored that @tackleio is included!

Meetings are a usually a bug.
If you properly root cause them, you will find a trust issue, a clarity issue, or a missing API. Meetings can paper over these, but it’s much better to fix root cause.

Honestly, so many fortunes are built out of "spite" and "proving people wrong" - I wish we talked more about it.
Don't "be at peace" with those people who didn't see your potential - be an absolute monster.

I decided it was better to invest in entrepreneurs that I thought would be the most interesting (and fun) to watch from the bleachers as they tried to turn their crazy ideas into realities.
And that, as they say, has made all the difference.

Clock speed is one of the biggest factors you can optimize as a company. The speed at which you ship, get feedback, iterate, and ship again is your most sustainable competitive advantage.

One of my best performing portfolio companies now with many millions in ARR:
Lost 2 of 3 co-founders.
Pivoted the entire product.
Lost their Head of Sales.
All in one month.
Nothing is ever up and to the right.
This is a game of who can survive the longest. 💪🏼

The best tech companies drive strategy through product. This is why founders and CEOs tend to be product leaders, and product / design / engineering is more important than ops / marketing / finance. Here’s what this looked like for me as a business leader at Amzn and Facebook:

Founders: Don't grow into the company whose employees say this. To avoid it, you'll need not just different software, but a different attitude. The people in charge of employee expenses should think of themselves as providing a service rather than enforcing rules.

In the early days of Segment, right after we crossed $10m ARR our growth decelerated 8x from 300% yoy to 40% yoy in 6 months. What the hell happened? How did we reaccelerate back to 100% yoy? A thread 1/18

Gartner predicts 95% of ISVs will use cloud marketplaces to market, sell and provision their services 👇👇👇
A very noticeable trend over the last year. I've been surprised how many larger ISVs have 30%+ of their revenue coming via the marketplaces.
The recruiter must have forgot to mention that Google has nap rooms 😉. Oh well, their loss is our gain, welcome to @tackleio !!
Just turned down Google to accept an offer at a startup
Time to make three medium articles, a Twitter thread, and launch my Youtube career on "why I turned down an offer from Google"

I’ve been using @around_hq in place of Zoom for over a week now and am super impressed with the UX! Maybe I just move too much when I talk, but my only feature request would be a way to lock the video panning once it is in a good spot 😊
