@TimBWalsh Last 5 years, functional leaders have had discretion on most small-medium software buys, now reversion of power and control to CFO, so it is different. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
Every startup selling to enterprise must now realise, you have a new buyer. The CFO. Are you adding a line to the budget or replacing one? What specific costs are you saving? Prove it with data? What is the ROI. Do not forget the CFO, they will determine approval. — PolitiTweet.org

A big mistake managers make when fundraising for funds: They “check in” with potential LPs when they didn’t hear back but they don’t have any additional “news” or “progress”. With every touch point, you have to show progression. If you don’t, wait till you have some. — PolitiTweet.org

@Nikenavik LP sentiment, will see the shift happen with the remarking of books 75% down for those funds in many cases. Q1-Q3 2023. — PolitiTweet.org

For years I have wanted to have @Mailchimp on 20VC. A business built outside of any tech hub, with no venture capital, scaled to $1BN+ ARR and being acquired for a reported $12BN by Intuit. Tomorrow, we drop that episode with @benchestnut and it is one of the greats! 🔥 👇 https://t.co/YcjPj97imz — PolitiTweet.org

One of the biggest mindset shifts for me recently: Change everything you feel you HAVE to do, to everything you GET the privilege to do. I have to go to the gym. No. You have the privilege to be healthy and get to go to the gym. Game changer. — PolitiTweet.org

Did you know: In 2017 KitKat realised sales were decreasing. They hired a new executive who created a new marketing message. They tied kitkats to coffee, a substance people consume much more often. Within a year, sales went from $300M to $500M all by this one change. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, Warren Buffett's position in American Express is currently worth $23.3 Billion. That's 7.31% of their entire equity portfolio (5th largest holding). Warren now owns 20.26% of the outstanding American Express stock. https://t.co/PhrvDjbGGK — PolitiTweet.org

Enter Warren Buffet, in the middle of this corporate crisis, Warren Buffet became a significant shareholder in Amex, knowing that the company would survive the scandal. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
When Amex discovered the scam, this left a massive hole in their finances and their stock dropped a whopping 50%. Amex investors were left scrambling for the exit. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
A company called Allied led by Anthony De Angelis tricked the system and put sea water instead of oil into barrels to raise debt from Amex. Amex believed this "inventory" was worth $150M but the true value... $6M. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
In 1963, Amex almost shut down because of a salad oil scandal. Yes, a salad oil scandal. So Amex had a subsidiary providing loans to warehouses in exchange for collateral in physical inventory. Little did they know, the system could be tricked... — PolitiTweet.org

How Warren Buffet turned a seawater and oil scandal into his entry point for investing in Amex. This is the wild story 👇👇👇 — PolitiTweet.org

@veryaccuratetho If family office and founders then it will be tough. If institutions then they will be fine! — PolitiTweet.org

@sarubeli It’s a fund mate… runway? — PolitiTweet.org

@VentureLover Nope. Friendly first. Then institutions. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
@VentureLover Because you go to these large institutions and they say, how much have you got? You say… nothing. Like a restaurant, no one wants to go to an empty restaurant. Bring your friends, make it look busy and more people will come in. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
One of the biggest mistakes managers make when raising early funds: They go to institutions first thinking they need to get the larger checks first. NO. Go to friendlies. Their check size does not matter but you have to build the "friendlies" around the base first. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
@patriciawexler They need to move larger checks — PolitiTweet.org

@veryaccuratetho Very dependent on LP quality they have. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
Three LP trends that will happen in 23’: 1. Rise of Middle East LPs taking dominant share of US fund cap tables. 2. Micro fund ($10M below) super tough to raise with many GPs and Founders not LPing. 3. Flight from mega funds for US LPs to smaller $400M-$750M managers. — PolitiTweet.org
