Hosting @dheeraj, among the most well-respected CEOs in the enterprise world at #EE2019 was nothing short of a fanboy moment for me. Replicating the magic & inspiration from last yr, he left founders with a lot to mull over in their journeys of building outsized companies (1/n):
Can’t thank ace investor and dear friend @anuhariharan of @ycombinator enough to join us again for a masterclass at #EE2019 @lightspeedee, and take the cohort back to “Startup Basics” and what differentiates companies that breakout from those who don't. Thread below (1/13) 👇 
@anuhariharan @ycombinator @lightspeedee Anu kicked off with a provocative thought - “Start by doing things that don’t scale”. Recruit your first 100 users manually. Talk to them, get direct feedback, the learning is unparalleled. This is your chance to really test the product in a closed controlled environment. (2/13)
@anuhariharan @ycombinator @lightspeedee Your first 10 hires are mission critical. All the 20-30-40 you bring after that will be exactly like them. You really need people who can roll up their sleeves and do whatever it takes. (3/13)
Delighted to host a Masterclass with Abhinav Asthana @a85, Founder of @postmanclient at #EE2019 today on “Building in India for the world”.. his perspectives on the opportunities and challenges founders will face in building a truly global product were invaluable. A thread 👇:
@a85 @postmanclient Recalling the early days of Postman, Abhinav emphasised that "survival spirit" and "resourcefulness" underpinned the bootstrap phase of their journey and helped them sail through tough times.. times when bank balance was barely down to few months of making rent..
@a85 @postmanclient “If you’re not ready to invest everything behind it, entrepreneurship is not for you.” It was intriguing to hear how hard he tried *not* to start a company. It didn’t feel right, until the day conviction got really strong this is something that’ll really add value to the world.
1/3) A note on the European elections #EuElection2019
The #EuropeanParliament does not have a government.
This means that the system does not operate like a national parliament.
To be a successful parliamentarian means having to work the committees.

2/3) Successful committee work rewards parliamentarians who can build consensus.
Those who are nuanced, enjoy the detail, read research, and engage in compromise are winners in this system.
Conflictual ideologues, flag wavers, and oppositional politics are not rewarded.

3/3) Therefore if you want your vote to have the most impact, vote for a parliamentarian who is best suited to doing committee work.
This might sound boring. But that's how the EU works.
