I would say 98% of startups have the worst/bland product marketing and messaging. You have to make the consumer feel. They have to resonate with you. For or against, it does not matter but they cannot feel nothing. 🤷♂️ If you had a billboard on Times Sq, what would it say? — PolitiTweet.org

Fun fact: The average interview question sheet we do is: 8x 30 minute interviews referencing. Over 5,000 words of notes. Cut to 1,000 words of agenda questions. Most content is mediocre because people do not put the hard yards and work in. We do this with every episode. — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow we have a very different episode dropping. Over the past 7 years. I built 20VC to 100M+ downloads, starting from a $50. Tomorrow, I share 10 lessons on scaling 20VC to 100M downloads in 117 countries. 🔥 👇 https://t.co/itRV9Oju1y — PolitiTweet.org

The biggest reason people fail in content: They never start. Your version 1 will and should never be perfect. That is fine. It will improve, you will get better. Press publish and keep going. — PolitiTweet.org

Cool to see this @weschan clip hit 175,000 views in less than 24 hours! https://t.co/bHis5kV6Pl🚀🔥 — PolitiTweet.org

In just 20 mins we have the one and only @parkerconrad @Rippling on 20VC. This will be a blockbuster but what are the must-ask questions for you? Twitter, work your magic. 🔥 — PolitiTweet.org

I do not believe VCs are ever really the best to advise in company building. There are always more relevant & specific operators who can help in real time. Just introduced founder looking to do referrals to Head of Growth who runs BNs in referrals. 20VC = switchboard 🔥 — PolitiTweet.org

One of the single biggest hiring mistakes founders make: They are hiring for a role and instantly go to an incumbent and try to poach. 90% of the time this does not work. They are logos often and not that good. They have not done the "sleeves up" work for a while. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
You know what I would love to see on a VC website: “We are founder unfriendly capital backing non-mission driven entrepreneurs.” 😂 — PolitiTweet.org

Reading a fund update for a fund I am an LP in and just thinking 🙄. No shit, venture funding down. Recession coming. Capital efficiency. Tell me something new, that I don’t know. Use investors updates wisely. Also use them as customer acquisition tools for new investors! — PolitiTweet.org

The transition from a mindset of “risk on” to “risk off” is astonishing. When you hear the “end of cycles”. Be worried. — PolitiTweet.org

For years I tried to be everything to everyone. I then spent time to figure out the one single metric that drives both my media and fund business. Today, all I care about is that. It is my sole focus. Know what moves the needle for your business. Relentlessly focus. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
I am literally the biggest Alain de Botton fan out. I want to make this 20VC show happen. If you can help me make it happen, I will love you forever, lifetime supply of mojitos included. Twitter, work your magic.. 😉 — PolitiTweet.org

Another big mistake I made in my first early $8M Fund. I didn’t take smaller $50K checks into total rocket ships, I wanted to have check size discipline. Makes sense with larger funds but with a small fund, write the check. The upside is so high, it can still fund return. — PolitiTweet.org

What happens when you put an incredibly talented, humble, low ego, multi $Bn CEO (@dLocalPayments) with an overly excited, overly caffeinated, high ego Brit... 😂🔥👇 https://t.co/k0HcDreCLP — PolitiTweet.org

My favourite commencement speech is @dickc. My favourite line: Not only can you not plan the impact you are going to have. You often won’t recognise it, even while you are having it. 💪🏼 https://t.co/MPQrLSiSIi — PolitiTweet.org

Looking at show downloads so funny to see: The more insider baseball VC an episode is, the higher the downloads. The more operational founder led, tend to get less. Interesting. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
Difficult lesson for founders onboarding sales reps: First customer calls reps have will often not close. They will lose those leads, most often. But they will learn. Optimize for their learning, not dollar closing on first calls. P.S. Make first calls small leads! 😬 — PolitiTweet.org

I had a walk today with my mother. I was discussing adding to the 20VC team. She asked me: “If you could add anyone to the team, would you add these people, really?” To my mama, who always pushes me to do better, to reach higher. 🚀 https://t.co/pMt4DrY9HS — PolitiTweet.org

There is a difference between motivation and discipline. Motivation, how sweet, romantic. Bullshit, it is fleeting and come and goes. Success is discipline. Getting up everyday and doing what you don’t have energy to do, but do it all the same. Persistence is everything. — PolitiTweet.org

No one can tell you that you are not “good enough”. Only you can tell yourself that. Even then, I think you underestimate yourself. Do it, take the first step. This is 90% of the battle. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
I speak to many contemplating “risky” decisions moving roles. My lesson: You always over estimate how risky something is. It is not as risky as you think. You always think your current role is safe. It isn’t as safe as you think. You are never wrong to do the right thing. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
Unpopular opinion: Guaranteed pro rata. What a terrible decision. This is like saying you will love someone no matter what they do. It’s not right. Pro rata should be about “deserves” not reserves. — PolitiTweet.org

A really concerning element that I see a lot in a world of bottoms up and PLG: Teams applying top-down enterprise sales resource allocation to small ACV tickets and customers that won't scale. You cannot do this. If they are a sub $50K ticket, heavy CS, AE time, aint it. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
One big lesson I have learned: If you are looking for confidence/affirmation in someone else's answer. You know the answer already. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
The single biggest investment mistakes I make: When I meet a founder several times and am really "intrigued." However, for some reason, I do not quite get over the line from intrigue to conviction. Listen to your intrigue. If it is rare enough, you should act on it. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
Another unpopular opinion: As an investor, you cannot provide a world class experience to every founder you interact with. From first message to meeting & conclusion. Every second with a company is a second away from another. I spend 98% of time on 2% of companies. — PolitiTweet.org
