Love this comment from @peterfenton @benchmark: “When I don’t have enough time to take that next marginal founder meeting, then I shouldn’t be practicing this job.” 🚀 🔥 — PolitiTweet.org

@fundraisetips @jasonlk @saastr Yes. To me yes. It will always come, from customers, team members, the community. You have to be resilient and as long as it is done constructively and respectfully then absolutely. — PolitiTweet.org

It is coming tomorrow and it is an absolute banger with my old friend @jasonlk @saastr on: Why only 15% of founders want to hear what VCs have to say? Why 80% IRRs for LPs should have been a sign a bust was coming? Why Zoom investing made us all worse investors? 🔥 👇 https://t.co/yHJUx0T3OK — PolitiTweet.org

One of the greatest strengths you can have is not being worried to look silly or stupid. Ask the basic questions. Admit you do not know what a word means. Ask them to go back and walk you through it again. Take notes. Find commonalities. Incorporate them. — PolitiTweet.org

@jefielding So sorry to hear this! Sending best wishes! — PolitiTweet.org

I hate seeing investments being made in tranches by the VC at the early stage. Why? It prevents the founder from being able to plan, allocate and execute on a plan that is long term. Incentivises purely short-term thinking and caps the growth of the business. — PolitiTweet.org

@prescottwatson @zebulgar My friend if you think I am bragging about being on the list, you do not know me well! ;) — PolitiTweet.org

Single biggest lesson learned from 20VC is from @mikikuusi @woltapp. As a leader, I believed I always had to make everyone feel "safe" & trusted. Miki taught me the difference between trust & safety. We should have full trust but not safety. Performance is everything. https://t.co/6Xkj81q9X9 — PolitiTweet.org

@jefielding If you don’t mind me asking, what did that take your multiple to from cash in to DPI? — PolitiTweet.org

@jefielding How bad was the maths? — PolitiTweet.org

@jpnagel @mikikuusi Miki was the star and such a joy to do this one! — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@Ben_williams_CM @20vcFund @woltapp So agree with you, @mikikuusi is the best! — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Very obvious one but lesson for me recently: As a leader, don’t share your thoughts first. Yours will impact the responses of those of others. Be the last to speak. Create room for others to share their thoughts unimpeded. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@rushikh @Trace_Cohen @eatpopchew My question to you: You serve the powerful and 1% creators. Of those 1%, even then, how skewed is your GMV and revenue? — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@Trace_Cohen @eatpopchew To me that is different. They are infrastructure to allow those with the concentrated power, distribution and wealth to make even more. But agree, they are cool. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@vitalygordon Haha you have lost already. At any scale, who pays for dev tools? The companies when they scale to a certain usage. Who pays for creator tools. The creators. Of which, 99% won’t make enough to pay for the suite of startup tools provided. Payor is different. — PolitiTweet.org

@sardakunal That me 😂 — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@sardakunal So if I have tap water I am totally winning 😂 — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Bold statement: I don’t think serving the creator economy will yield the many $1BN+ companies that people expect. Creator economy. Huge but fundamentally concentrated. Massively hinders ability of many serving them. Bet placed… — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

After 7 years of investing: The follow-on investments where you are like "meh, I should probably do it but I am not leaning it". Very very rarely work out. If it is a gamechanger for the round getting done. Do it. If the choice is there. Lean out if "meh". — PolitiTweet.org

@brentgrinna Haha, my man, going back in the time machine, I like it. — PolitiTweet.org

@plibin Sadly Phil you are employed and I am not sure I can afford you! 😂 — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@plibin You can Phil?! 🤣 — PolitiTweet.org

One of my favourite guests ever. Over 60 people messaged me referencing Oana as the best! — PolitiTweet.org

@FastTash @DescriptApp Will need to be higher intensity. Adobe Audition most likely. To create top videos for tiktok etc, needs to be more. — PolitiTweet.org
