I believe I once had this working for @cplant and we created a funny sign for him "No New Ideas" to give us space until we had at least a couple weeks on the first batch. Now I'm probably the same and have to hold back to focus. #Entrepreneurs with too many ideas need to #focus.

A #VentureCapital person asked a #startup CEO I know how he would get to a valuation of $20b. Stupid question. Only 15 Unicorns out of over 1,000 have that sort of valuation. Asking stupid questions like that just confuses a #startup #Entrepreneur

I've heard many founders who set out to raise a seed round ask how much capital they should raise. I figured I could check the data to help them understand what others are raising and how their situation might compare.
