I'm hiring a CEO for a new B2C mobile startup focused on the loneliness space. Great opportunity to work with us existing investors in our studio. Location: Anywhere Must have previous B2C startup experience. Link in the next tweet...

I'll be @ #startupfest in Montreal July 11-12. Reach out if you'd like to reconnect! Just ending my 4-yr adventures in PE/pubco scaled SaaS and Payments growth @EverCommerce. New adventures on the horizon.

Great thread deconstructing the state of venture LPs. #notpretty

An insightful POV. open.substack.com/pub/subcon…

At the @avs and @DallasStars game when @Cmakar8 breaks the all-fucking-time NHL record for defensemen with 200 pts in less than 200 games. Crowd and announcer attention to the ice girls wins. #notahockeytown

I align with the genuine concerns over Musk's ego agenda for Twitter, but I can't disagree with the cringe factor of this business employing 7,500. A clean sweep and fresh POV is desperately needed. Musk will definitely put the bully in the pulpit. Watching from the sidelines...

Sober POV - good descriptive of the impact of a venture valuation reset. Feels familiar and weirdly comforting with the return to realism.

The team @craft_ventures created a very informative and useful talk track on dealing with the downturn. Quality watch (yeah it's a tad dry, but this isn't a tiktok topic, dig in and listen/learn, founders!) youtube.com/watch?v=vBkzm4a7…

Well, Twitter does feel like an awkward early teenager. #MyTwitterAnniversary

A good reminder of the need to always be planning/adapting/optimizing.

Very well articulated @hunterwalk - the value of early INDEPENDENT advice to a start-up is highly under-estimated and too lightly leveraged. hunterwalk.medium.com/most-s…
