Investing today, there are three types of market opportunity: Market Creation Market Expansion Market Theft: stealing customers from incumbents failing to serve them adequately. Know which one you are. It changes your resource allocation entirely. π — PolitiTweet.org

The single biggest investment mistakes I make: When I meet a founder several times and am really "intrigued." However, for some reason, I do not quite get over the line from intrigue to conviction. Listen to your intrigue. If it is rare enough, you should act on it. — PolitiTweet.org

@JackRubin1 conversation well beyond 140 characters my friend. What are the core mechanics of the business? How does the business gain leverage and scale more with every day? What is the catalyst that drives the flywheel? How can we accelerate it? Some core questions but always more — PolitiTweet.org

Another unpopular opinion: As an investor, you cannot provide a world class experience to every founder you interact with. From first message to meeting & conclusion. Every second with a company is a second away from another. I spend 98% of time on 2% of companies. — PolitiTweet.org

One change we have made more recently to 20VC. We tailor more questions to what we know what works on Tik Tok. Changing the game. π — PolitiTweet.org

Unpopular opinion: Guaranteed pro rata. What a terrible decision. This is like saying you will love someone no matter what they do. Itβs not right. Pro rata should be about βdeservesβ not reserves. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the most challenging questions in venture: How do you allocate your time across the portfolio? Spend time with the winners, they move the needle. Or spend time with strugglers, they need your help. @rabois @foundersfund π π₯ https://t.co/uVyJsO0njq — PolitiTweet.org

@peter_ackerson Length of runway is the core question. If you have 30 months, I agree with you. If you have 6 months, with everyday you lose leverage and you will have to raise in 3 max. We donβt know markets will be better then. So raise now with more leverage. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
Heard VC today tell a founder, when it comes to next raise. Don't go out now. Wait & see how markets develops. Terrible advice. 1. You lose leverage with every day of cash burn. 2. We have no idea what markets will be like in 6 months. Do not time your raise to markets. — PolitiTweet.org

@jasonfrieds @dscheinm I always love a breakdown. Initial wedge and size, then breakdown on a per ancillary product basis. Does that make sense? — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
Another unpopular opinion: Sometimes a truly great founder is simply not enough. Macro both financial & societal/political can f*** you in a way, not even the best can withstand. You have to analyze those externalities. Great founder is all that counts, is lazy thinking. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
Another unpopular opinion: Outcome scenario planning. Interesting to do but leads to suboptimal decision-making. You will always underestimate the size of your winners. Outcome scenario planning leads to capped upside thinking and missing the true home runs. — PolitiTweet.org

@kevindstevens Totally agree. That is different to market sizing to me though! π — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
@Chengdavid923 Think it is different for different people. For me it is understand the core mechanics of the business. What is the single driver that starts the flywheel? What are the inputs and outputs? If the founder at seed can show you the above, invest, maybe .5% can. — PolitiTweet.org
Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings
Unpopular opinion: Market sizing analysis at seed and pre-seed will lead you to make the wrong investment decision the majority of the time. For best outcomes, they create new markets or significantly expand existing markets. Do not be rigid around market size analysis. — PolitiTweet.org
