The best investors always close the loop on intros that are made. Small things, make a big difference. — PolitiTweet.org

There is no such thing as a bad idea… Only the wrong time. Timing is everything. — PolitiTweet.org

When you have a tough time. Ask; Am I a winner or a loser. What would a winner do? What would a loser do? By asking this question; you would always choose what a winner does. Plus, only you set the limits of your achievements, even then, you underestimate yourself. — PolitiTweet.org

Work with a lot of founders on crisis communications. The 3 tips: 1. Get ahead of it. Never let anyone be surprised. 2. Always paint the worst case scenario. 3. Do it one by one. Personal comms is everything at tough times. Use each comms as a chance to build trust. — PolitiTweet.org

I met @johnhenderson for breakfast when I was 18 and was 7 episodes into 20VC. I was nothing and had nothing. But he believed in me and saw what I did not in myself. Founders, this is the only partner that matters. It is that simple. 🚀 — PolitiTweet.org

Another startup myth we need to bust; You can only hire “A players”: 1. what a load of BS. For companies with 2,000 people, they all A players? No. For some roles, it’s fine. 2. It takes no account for slope or potential. Young starter maybe not an A now but insane slope. — PolitiTweet.org

The greatest product marketing of the last 10 years: The iPod. 1,000 songs in your pocket. What else stands out as the best? — PolitiTweet.org

Unhappiness lies in the chasm between who you show to the world and who you really are. I choose to show my full self. Broken but hopefully beautiful. We need to normalise vulnerability. We need to normalise imperfection. This is me & I’m proud. 👇 https://t.co/u4yjQ4aLAC https://t.co/UM14ZocNpA — PolitiTweet.org

Unhappiness lies in the size of chasm between the person you choose to show to the world and who you really are. I choose to be my full self; a little broken but always my true self. Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. 👇 https://t.co/AMsyTcqHGq — PolitiTweet.org

The best founders clearly understand the difference between input vs output metrics. Input is the amount of sessions per day a user has in your product. Output is # of customers/ $$$ of revenue. Understand the inputs that drive the flywheel. — PolitiTweet.org

99% of the time it is not the words you say but the way you say them that matters. — PolitiTweet.org

As a leader you will get bored of saying your mission and vision. That doesn’t mean you don’t believe it, but it gets stale to you. What you have to remember. For one person it is the first time they hear it. So you have to deliver that message with as much energy every time — PolitiTweet.org

Now understand the true meaning of excelling at European Venture: Your job is to go to as many different friends weddings in as many different coastal European towns as possible. Armed with a Patek & Loro Piana’s for bonus points. 🤷♂️ I will just chill in recording studio! — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
In the studio today preparing our episodes next week with @photomatt and @luclevesque. Incredible episodes to come… 🔥 Sometimes I can’t actually believe this is part of my job! 😂 https://t.co/uTaoz2LIHw — PolitiTweet.org

I just got sent a pic of me ten years ago, wow, the last 10 years have been kind to me… 😂 https://t.co/WIWRpczCvE — PolitiTweet.org

Every 20VC episode I ask someone: What is your greatest strength and greatest weakness? All men start with their strength and 80% forgot I asked their weakness. All women start with their weakness and don’t answer their strength. Not saying anything just an observation. — PolitiTweet.org

Speak to investors contemplating an investment, often: Man, great market, good product sense, great customer base. Have a concern on team and execution but everything else is strong. 99% of the time, this will not work. When team is the concern, for them and you, don’t do it. — PolitiTweet.org

I got given a posh wine decanter to save wine when you don’t finish a bottle. Who doesn’t finish the bottle?! 😖 The maker clearly never did any customer discovery… 🙄 — PolitiTweet.org

Most unfair advantage you can have in venture: Not having to "lead" all rounds. Size of your winners is so much bigger than you anticipate. You can build your position over time. Only thing that matters to me is can I work with the single greatest founders of a generation! — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
@dionlisle @brettcalhounn I disagree my friend. 20VC is a media company with team, real revenue, customers, products etc. 😉 — PolitiTweet.org

As a VC the day you accept that you are a glorified switchboard making intros, the day you will be a lot happier. 😂 — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
You have to know the single product metric that drives the success of your business: For 20VC it is the quality of net new guests on the show. They bring more audience. More audience means more founders want 20VC cash. More founders means more LPs allocate to 20VC. 🚀 — PolitiTweet.org

Fundraising markets have never been more transparent. No longer do you have to be the first to find. You have to be the one to win. This is the asset class where the asset chooses the capital. Being first doesn't matter, winning the investment does. — PolitiTweet.org

My mother clearly did not see the current state of public markets… 😂 https://t.co/7Q8gxaXpau — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
I often speak to other VCs about why they turned down a company, they often say: “Founder didn’t feel like a machine”. “A machine”, WTF. This strikes me as flawed & narrow thinking. The definition of great leadership is broad & changing. Great leaders come in all styles. — PolitiTweet.org

Student loans are so broken: My brother’s 3 years at university cost £33,500. Today 6 years later, he now has £40,000 of student loan debt. This is just wrong‼️‼️ — PolitiTweet.org

Recently had the chance to hang out with @renate. One of the most impressive, strategic and thoughtful CEOs I have chatted with and very excited to see the next chapter with @Tinder. https://t.co/PO1vcKTqvq — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
I will always do this. You never have a second chance at making an amazing first impression. Do the work ahead of time. Respect their time above everything. Make it human. Be specific in your ask. https://t.co/vGGd6AEhUq — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
I literally think there are some investors that everyday just go to a new event, put on a badge and chat about “doing the work”. 😖 — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
If you have been laid off in past 60 days & want a career in VC: Email me. [email protected] Send a company you are excited about. Explain why you are excited. Explain what specific superpower you have? Why that is needle moving in VC? What success would look like to you? — PolitiTweet.org
