In awe of how few investors ask founders pre-investment to spend time with exec team. The team a founder hires reveals so much about their quality. Also, as no one asks to do it, as an investor, you instantly differentiate yourself. Founders love it and it reveals so much. — PolitiTweet.org

Founders, your ability to raise in this capital environment got 10x harder. Do anything you can to increase the conversion: Send Looms with decks walking through product. Create compelling FAQs answering common concerns. Single out investors and be direct in why them. — PolitiTweet.org

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

@sfotdscout 99% of the time, with your investors, there is no such thing as over-communication. Clarity is also so important. Simple and clear is crucial. Trust can be lost in confusion. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Trust with your investors is all you have. 4 Things About Trust: 1. It is built over time, in increments. 2. Takes years to build and seconds to lose, guard it. 3. It is built by doing what you said you would do. 4. It is built through clarity of communication. — PolitiTweet.org

@jacquiwithane @mattturck @20vcFund 100% not at all. I am just speaking to every GP right now and they all say they are "paused" or "taking things very slow". — PolitiTweet.org

@mattturck Cmon Turck, this aint true my friend. A VC deploying capital today is about as rare as a profitable startup... — PolitiTweet.org

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

@xParacha Ah man so many. Biggest: Relying on the work of another investor too much. They were an expert in the space and I relied on their work. Never do this. Always do your own work and build conviction on your own. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Sometimes we are so focused on the day to day that we forget what we have achieved over months and years. Working on an ep featuring clips on "Lessons from Prior Booms & Busts" with: @bgurley @HowardMarksBook @MarkJCarney @mikeeisenberg @infoarbitrage Special one coming. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

One of the biggest mistakes investors make when investing at seed: Defensibility. 99% of the time it does not exist on Day 1. It is built over time in the processes, techniques and team that you acquire. Understand how they build it, not what they have today. — PolitiTweet.org

@MitchGlenn Read it. Don’t know what you do. What do you do? — PolitiTweet.org

One guest I have always wanted to have on 20VC ever since I started but have not been able to yet… @Benioff It would be such an amazing episode. Who can help make this happen? Mojitos on me for this. Twitter, work your magic.. 😉 — PolitiTweet.org

@ajackler13 [email protected] is the best email! — 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

I listened to 25+ episodes @garyvee has done before on other podcasts. I think this is the most vulnerable and revealing Gary has been and what an exceptional episode it is and person he is. Out now, go get it and let us know what you think! 👇 https://t.co/u70bxaXAgl https://t.co/md2rCwQCkO — PolitiTweet.org
