So we have a problem at 20VC and it is a very nice problem to have. We see and get sent so many deals, we don’t have enough investors to pick. If you want to join one of the fastest growing media/investment brands and work with generational defining companies. Hit me up. 🚀 — PolitiTweet.org

The incentive structures between LPs and GPs is wrong: GPs invest often wanting an upround from a Tier 1 rather than building ownership. This makes no sense. In your winners. Build ownership, don’t farm out to Tier 1’s so you can get a gold star from your LPs. — PolitiTweet.org

Investors often ask the question when entering an investment. Could this be a fund returner? I fundamentally believe this to be dangerous. Why? You always underestimate the size of winners. Defensibility is built over time. — PolitiTweet.org

@marcosluis2186 @lennysan Persistence is the only thing that matters. If you persist for long enough, you will break through. 200 episodes and 24 months before I made $1 on 20VC. — PolitiTweet.org

@lennysan @marcosluis2186 Haha well I learned all I did for 20 Product from you bro so the love is reciprocated! — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@marcosluis2186 @lennysan I think after 12 months I had about 1,000 plays per show. There is a lesson in this though. Your second product should always be adjacent to the first. Leverage existing distribution platforms you have built. Second then is always easier. Bravo Lenny! — PolitiTweet.org

There is no greater NPS for me as a VC on the founder relationship and value add side than one simple metric: How many of the founders you work with, ask to be LPs in subsequent funds of yours? When this happens, no greater feeling as a fund manager. 🚀 — PolitiTweet.org

@denlopalo @KyleSamani @AriGoldschmidt Want to make it happen Kyle? Would be delighted to! — PolitiTweet.org

@pt @dunkhippo33 @AdamAllAccess I find the good founders love the hard and direct feedback and are like wow, no one tells me this. Tough to hear but amazing, thanks. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@dunkhippo33 Oh tell me more, ownership vs multiple? Ownership does not matter and it is a case of multiple available against % of fund invested? — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@dunkhippo33 Haha, I have learned the most important lesson of investing: There is no right way to invest. That said, if you would rather back good founder with great idea over great founder, we are different. All the respect in the world though my friend and different approaches. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@dunkhippo33 I think we are in agreement here. Your last line suggests the same, you back the founder, knowing whether it is this idea or the next, they will find it if they are truly great. It might take several checks to get there but... same same. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@denlopalo @AriGoldschmidt @KyleSamani My apologies, totally different being crypto. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@EveShalenko Always! — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@denlopalo @AriGoldschmidt @KyleSamani Totally different. We do completely different stage and type of investments. Not comparable. — PolitiTweet.org

@Neal_Freyman What does he know now that he wishes he had known he started the show with episode 1? — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Really shooting my shot on this one but we are 4 out of 4 on Twitter requests for amazing guests to come on 20VC! 🚀 I would love to have @dkhos @Uber on 20VC. Would be such a special one. Who can make it happen? Mojitos on me for this one Twitter team… 💥 — PolitiTweet.org

New 20 Product released today and this is an absolute masterpiece from @kayvz on: Why and how to do the best product reviews? How the best product leaders build, manage and scale product teams. And so much more thanks to @scottbelsky intro! 🔥👇 https://t.co/9RC5PylMUu https://t.co/nRo6my3vwC — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Before recording this ep w/ @garyvee I listened to 25 different interviews he had done before. One objective for me: Ask Gary questions no one else has done. Gary blew me away and you have never heard Gary speak like this. The most special human & one of the best I’ve done. https://t.co/KgHA6GM5M1 — PolitiTweet.org

@samuel_spitz @WillManidis 1,000x Why you price so cheap?! — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@alfromnexhealth Agreed! I knew I would get Twitter pushback if I made it broader though!!! ;) — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@mattwensing Totally sucks. But maybe the optimist in me but there is a investor partner out there for you. That is why it is all about top of funnel! — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@mattwensing They ain’t for you then in my mind. These are 10+ year partnerships and that would suggest a difference in values that don’t align. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Pre-seed is only about people. The idea will change, market will change, product will change but the team remains. Founders, when you are told no by VCs for other reasons, dig deeper, ask what about you did not compel them? What more could YOU have done? There is always more. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@daniellenewnham @garyvee YOU WILL LOVE THIS ONE THEN! — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@guilhem Neither am I! ;) — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

10 min countdown till we have the one and only @garyvee on 20VC. Any final must ask questions? Twitter, work your magic… special one to come! 🚀 — PolitiTweet.org
