How hard should it be to run a venture-backed tech startup? 996 hard? 247 hard? call-your-mum-in-tears hard? I spoke to @simonbeckerman@surangac &more about why founder burnout is bad for business. The story is on today's #FTEdit app (free 30 day trial!) ftedit.onelink.me/Ju3k/gofjg…
loving this from @balderton@surangacft.trib.al/hVnilZY — in addition to coaching and mental wellbeing support for founders, the venture firm also recently introduced @FertifaHQ for its own staff 🙏💜

I absolutely love this… @PreetBharara asks @FrankBruni what makes a good sentence… “A good sentence is lucid. It accomplishes whatever task it intends to accomplish with vigor, with vividness, directly. And it stands out from the sentences around it.”
Great interview with the co-founders of @balderton portfolio company @RampNetwork. Based in Poland, they are building a bridge "between traditional companies and the crypto world." sifted.eu/articles/ramp-brun…

We're at @SlushHQ!
We’re hosting a workshop in room 103B of the Siipi annex at 1pm today. If you're a CEO, CFO, or co-founder of a $10M company planning its way to $100M revenue, then come join us to talk about how to balance growth and burn in 2023
The sad irony of today is how much it’s demonstrated the value of Twitter, at its best. I’ve reconnected with people I haven’t seen in years. Listened to conversations about the crazy situation. And seen what’s happening on the inside- from the people who are directly affected.
Our team at 01 Advisors put together this community a couple weeks ago to help the Twitter Alumni Network stay connected as a large number of folks work to figure out what's next. It's active and productive and has already been a great resource for people
