📊 Founders who are raising: know your numbers. Don’t just aim for the highest valuation—raise what you need, leave room to grow, and avoid a down round later. Use this cheatsheet to benchmark your next round. h/t @cartainc

It's a dream to do what you love- serving founders- with who you love.
Today we @EniacVC are proud to announce $220m in new funds from majority mission driven LPs.
Grateful to our team, founders, LPs, #nyctech, and the community (you!) for this continued opportunity. 🙏🏾

In 2010, we launched our 1st fund at $1.6M. Today excited to announce our 6th seed fund with $220M in new capital—a 137x increase 😝
Our focus stays the exact same: leading pre-product-market fit seed rounds and accelerating founders from 0 to 1 🚀

A prime example of how AI can do GOOD.
So proud of my wife @reshmasaujani for innovating one of the first public sector use cases of genAI with the launch of paidleave dot ai.
Congrats to @OpenAI @sama @eliast @craignewmark and everyone involved! 🤖

If it seems hard in SaaS, just remember if you can get to $20m-$25m ARR, growing at even a modest clip, and your burn is low ... someone will buy you
Just don't raise at a crazy valuation, that's all

It’s true. @MeggieRamirez is the best VC banking partner, ever. You’d be lucky to work with her and Team @CitizensBank Private Bank. Go find them, emerging VCs!

I’m at @RubenAAustin’s fundraising breakfast. Many funds focus on, team, product, etc. @DeutscheBank ventures primarily cares about product fit in their bank as a product they can use first #knowyourinvestors

One of the most common traits of the most successful people I have interviewed;
Positive visualization.
Even in the darkest times, they can see the successful outcome. They put themselves there, in that moment.
They make that moment happen.
