3. Marketing Teams Are Not Second Class Citizens: So many marketing teams are nervous of asking investment teams to do anything. They should be able to tell you/teach/coach. Too often see marketing teams idolize investing teams. All one unit. — PolitiTweet.org

2. All Partners Must Write/Tweet/Speak They try and make all partners be public facing. This is BS. If the partner does not enjoy it, it will not last and will not work. Let 1-2 who love it double down and amplify them. — PolitiTweet.org

1. They lose all personality. "So proud, so thrilled, honoured to partner". Brands need to make people feel. Do not be bland. You have to resonate; good or bad, people have to feel something. Do not be corporate and lose all personality. — 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

@fabian_rauch I do not know, would need a lot more data. — PolitiTweet.org

@separmeen @Amanda_Herson Honestly zero for me, the drop off rate is so vast and variable, really tells me nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing I am seeing more and more with pre-seed company decks; We spoke to X companies, they have the problem and so we have PMF. No. You don’t. It is pre-product. Your customer discovery is likely skewed. They haven’t tried your solution. Customer data is not PMF. — PolitiTweet.org

My favourite element of investing: One single meeting can change your life and the life of your family and team, forever. One meeting with the next Collisons, Chesky, Daniel Ek, Tobi Luttke can change everything. You have to be on form for every meeting but wow, what a job! — PolitiTweet.org

@mattybcohen @cartoonavatars @loganbartlett @zachweinberg And I would bring up another podcast on my podcast because… 😂 Slootman: this is a battle. Business is warfare and so is podcasting 😉 — 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

@tylerfromantler This is a very bad idea of yours. I am enjoying these facts way too much to stop them!!! — PolitiTweet.org

@thelisatweetsa @WSJ That’s cool. Each to their own. 👍 — PolitiTweet.org

@thelisatweetsa @WSJ Not sure what you mean? The above is treating employees like children? — PolitiTweet.org

@PippaLamb @BeReal_App We need an internal BeReal for team morale, an integration with Slack maybe! — PolitiTweet.org

@itsdanieldart @Vires_Num3ris I get that too, good point well made and Twitter is lovely when we have discussions like this with respect! Love it! — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@itsdanieldart @Vires_Num3ris I am not asking you to always be happy but I think everyone can find one happy thing in their day. The sunshine, their favourite orange juice, whatever it is, one thing can be small as anything. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

@Vires_Num3ris Fine but then they wouldn’t have a place in my company. We are a community. We work together to make each other better. This is core to building trust and allegiance. If this is a “obligation”, cool but then we have different principles on safety and trust as a community. — PolitiTweet.org

Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings

Quickest way to increase workplace culture in remote world. 1. Create a "Happy" Channel in your comms stack. 2. Each person at some point in the day, has to send their "Highlight of the Day" as a picture. 3. Creates bonding, jokes, affinity. Small things, big changes. — PolitiTweet.org
