This reminds me of interviewing VCs about Web3 with them trying to think through a use case... — PolitiTweet.org

So "Business Coaches". 99% aren't worth it. If they've "mastered business", trust me, they aren't charging you for coaching. Business Coach is BS. Unpack it. What do you really need? A CEO coach? A therapist? Fine both is ok. But do not take this BS "business coach". — PolitiTweet.org

Core equation CEOs need to understand is delegation equation: If delegated X task: 1. Would it be executed worse? 2. If done worse, how much worse? How much free time would it open? 3. If worse by 10% but opens 35% of time. Worth the trade off. Changed everything for me. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

The clearest sign you have been successful in delegation: When you check your emails and 90% have been responded to already by different members on your team. I failed at this for years. Fantastic to finally feel it. 😂 — PolitiTweet.org

I have interviewed 3,000 of the best VCs and so what makes the best interviews: Truth: it is not pure intellect, it is honesty. It is opening up, revealing a story, bringing the listener in, and then attaching meaningful lessons to it. Art + science. 🚀 — PolitiTweet.org

I advise a couple of significant endowments on their venture allocations. Main trend moving into Q4. 95% of managers doing a “final close” in Q4 have delayed final close to Q1 2023 to be put in LP’s 23’ allocation budgets. — PolitiTweet.org

Looking at BeReal, I have a takeaway, European VC summer is not over… 😂 — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Whether you choose to accept a “friend” on BeReal is such a good test of whether you really care about maintaining the friendship… 😂 — PolitiTweet.org

Step 1 to establishing a personal brand. Platform selection. Do not just choose the platform that is hot in the moment. Choose the platform/medium that is authentic to you. When times are tough, if you love the craft, you will stick to it. Consistency is everything. 👇 https://t.co/AUFY20qI2G — PolitiTweet.org

The biggest indicator of one's character in and ego in a job interview: How they use the words "I" and "we". You can tell so much about someone from really paying attention to this core difference. — PolitiTweet.org

8 years in, I love what I do building 20VC more than ever before. That is special. 🚀 Time to build. 💥 https://t.co/wACaMEgcVE — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Now is not the best time to be investing. Whatever GPS are saying, sorry it is not true. Everyone is waiting to see where we land. So everyone goes earlier. Prices are increasing at seed as a result. But best time investing, I think not. — PolitiTweet.org

I believe that as a founder today if you are not taking advantage of Twitter et al to build your brand you are fundamentally missing a core channel to: Inspire and acquire talent. Acquire customers. Attract and gain interest from investors. Get started today. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

People forget when it comes to brand. Your brand is: the bio in your Twitter profile the way your customers speak about you in forums, how employees communicate to their friends about the company. None of this can be ignored, it is the combination which make your brand. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Rarely ever is it the right decision to wait until post launch to fundraise. 1. You won’t have much data post launch. 2. The data won’t tell a full story. 3. The data is rarely as good as you think it will be. 99% of the time, raise pre launch. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

There is a big misnomer that there is a trade off between speed & quality when it comes to execution. Rarely does a team spend much longer than expected and then come back with a masterpiece. 99% of the time it is delayed and Over time, then it comes back disappointing. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

I am often asked who I have not had on the show yet that I would love to have. It would be a dream come true to have the one and only @RonConway on. Anyone that can help make it happen, mojitos on me. Twitter, work your magic… 🚀 — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

People conflate motivation with discipline. Bull shit, you are disciplined. No that comes and goes. I am motivated. 2,940 episodes in and every weekend for 7 years. Success is discipline, it ain’t motivation. Always remember that! https://t.co/rKfZ8gQ9iY — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

I'm looking for an intern to help me across both 20VC Fund + 20VC Media Company. They would be my right hand with the idea of their moving into a CoS role over time. You need to be: Insanely hungry and ambitious. Disciplined. A good listener. Work your magic Twitter. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

I love the Q; What do you know now that you wish you'd known at the start of... For me in VC, I wish I'd known there is no right way to invest. Everyone has their style, find the reason the best founders will seek you out, pick you & work with you. VCs what would yours be? — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

A massive differentiator investing today is spending enough time on a business to see the "beauty in the broken". VCs 99% of the time look for reasons to say no. To pass fast and move on to the next. Spending real time to uncover what others do not see initially is huge. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

99% of the time you do have the time to do what you want to do. But you are what you prioritize. So it is fine to not do something as it is not a priority, but you do have the time. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

995 of the time you do have the time to do what you want to do. But you are what you prioritize. So it is fine to not do something as it is not a priority, but you do have the time. — PolitiTweet.org

@Trace_Cohen @twentyminutevc Man such a good takeaway and so right! — PolitiTweet.org

What happened to all the rebels in venture? I remember when young people coming in wanted to start something, Fund the rule breakers, think differently. Today it seems all young people want to… work at a large multi-stage firm. We need more rebels. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Have many managers pitch me their core differentiation being; Their high founder NPS. NO. This is table-stakes. Why do the best founders seek you out? Why do they choose you over others? How do you help them meaningfully, at scale, like others can’t. For me, 20VC. 🚀 — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

One of the hardest things about both building and investing: Knowing the conventional rules which hold true and are conventional for a reason. Vs Those which should be disrupted, should be innovated. The great are able to discern between the two. 🚀 — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

I often get asked why and how did you start 20VC and so this should work as a nice FAQ from now on… 😂 👇 https://t.co/7muaZ3ZimT — PolitiTweet.org
