Today, many startup founders wonder how to write a great blurb for their firms. Well, it's not rocket science, but effort has to be there! A twitter thread...

#startups #blurb #intro #pitch #gist #economics #business #finance #investment Image
A great blurb always helps startup owners effectively introduce their products & services to their target audience. Besides increasing the sales, a short yet crispy blurb can also attract investors for startup funding. It can be a tool to attract the best talents, too. #HR #IT
Your startup blurb should be different for different purposes, but here’s what a great blurb should consist of:

-A pitch within 25 words.
-Use bullet points to highlight relevant stuff.
-Additional context

The @Angels are bringing back Phil Nevin as their manager for the 2023 season.

Nevin is the team’s fourth manager in five seasons, during a period when team owner Arte Moreno has been exploring the sale of the team. latimes.com/sports/angels/…
Nevin, in his first major league managerial role, has led the team to a 73-88 record (not counting Wednesday's season finale) after taking over for Joe Maddon, who was fired on June 7 in the middle of a franchise-record 14-game losing streak. latimes.com/sports/angels/…
“Who are the draft picks who have made an impact in Anaheim? Nobody,” said Rick Ingalls, an @Angels SoCal-based amateur scout from 1981-2001.

The Angels’ last postseason win was in 2009. @MikeDiGiovanna looks into how the organization got to this point. latimes.com/sports/angels/…

Might @warriors owner Joe Lacob bid for the @Angels?

“Can’t answer this question that fast,” Lacob told The Times on Tuesday. “We look at good opportunities.”

He added a smile emoji.

Who might buy the team? How fast could it happen?

Just as quickly as Arte Moreno became one of the best owners in baseball, he became one of the worst. Good riddance, writes @GustavoArellano. latimes.com/california/sto…
"This is happy news," echoed @Angels Hall of Famer Rod Carew on Twitter. He spoke to @MikeDiGiovanna about possibly repairing his relationship with the organization.

The #Angels need a dynamic and deep-pocketed owner (more likely owners) who will provide the vision and resources for a revival.

And then get out of the way.

But who fits that description? From @helenenothelen:

Dave Roberts gave the
@Dodgers an A-minus for their performance during the season's first half.

That seems low,
@helenenothelen writes, but the manager has to leave some incentive to sustain this level and maybe raise it after the All-Star break. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
@Dodgers @helenenothelen They have the majors' second-best record, and they did it without injured pitchers Walker Buehler, Daniel Hudson, Andrew Heaney, Dustin May and Blake Treinen, as well as briefer absences of position players Chris Taylor and Mookie Betts latimes.com/sports/story/2…
@Dodgers @helenenothelen The Angels’ first-half performance would get an F-minus or lower, if that’s possible for a team that has two of the game’s best players in Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout but can’t build balance and depth around them. latimes.com/sports/story/2…

Harry Sidhu wanted the
@Angels stadium deal to be his legacy. Instead, both his legacy and the deal are a mess.

@BillShaikin on how Anaheim and its (now former) mayor were less than transparent, & how a corruption investigation threatens the deal. latimes.com/sports/angels/…
@Angels @BillShaikin When he was a first-term councilman, Sidhu interrupted an event promoting Anaheim as an NFL stadium site: “People should know the truth.”

The truth about Sidhu's role in the present-day Angel Stadium project is now under the spotlight. latimes.com/sports/angels/…
@Angels @BillShaikin From Sidhu's election as Anaheim mayor until last week, he ran negotiations with the #Angels exactly how he'd bemoaned city leaders had run talks with the NFL in 2005: obscuring truth from the public and the city council, and trying to silence critics. latimes.com/sports/angels/…

8th MAY: THE FEAST OF THE APPARITION OF ST MICHAEL

-thread-
1. The history of the feast of the Apparition of St Michael is very remarkable. In the year 495, a wealthy man had a large herd of cattle grazing on Monte Gargano in Italy. #ApparitionOfStMichael #StMichael #Angels Image
2. One day a steer went astray from the herd and did not return with the rest of the cattle at the usual time. The owner went in search of the steer and finally found him on the summit of the mountain, lying at the entrance of a cave. The animal refused to leave the spot.
3. At length the owner, exasperated by its stubbornness, took up his bow and sent an arrow towards it. However, the arrow whirled about in the air and, coming directly towards the archer, wounded him.

Best: Dodger Stadium's seating color scheme was designed to mimic the beach and ocean. #Dodgers Image
Worst: Dodger Stadium. Getting there doesn’t count. Never liked the massive parking lot, though it was enhanced with the outfield pavilion renovation this year. ImageImage

3. FIRST SALUTATION:

At the intercession of St Michael and the heavenly choir of the SERAPHIM, may it please God to make us worthy to receive into our hearts the fire of His perfect charity. Amen.

Women in venture I’ve met recently who have inspired me and helped me see that it’s possible to be human, vulnerable, and badass at the same time: @elanab who made feel it’s possible to be a mom in BK and invest for Schmidt Futures at the same time
@katherineykwu with her real talk about finding good people to work with over all this else in a job. Nobody got time to work in toxic work environments
@janamal on sharing her vulnerabilities as an #ANGEL investor with the learnings and mistakes she made along the way. Inspired that #ANGELS group of women have invested together thru babies and divorces over a decade! 💪🏽💕

We’ve received a lot of great questions about our recent Angels and Cherubim video. One question, in particular, has been: Who or what are the seraphim in Isaiah chapter 6, and how do they relate to the cherubim? The rabbit hole, as always, is deep and fascinating!
Let’s recall that the cherubim function as guardians at the boundary between heaven and earth (as in Genesis 3:24). They support Yahweh’s throne in the heavenly temple (Psalm 99:1), or carry his mobile throne-chariot that appears to prophets on earth (as in Ezekiel 9:3 and 10:1).
An important fact here is that each time they appear, they look slightly different and are called by different titles. They’re “living creatures” (Ezekiel 1) or “cherubim” (Ezekiel 10). They have have two wings (Exodus 25:20) or four (Ezekiel 1:6), with one face (1 Kings 8:6-7)

Last go for the crib on #BaptismoftheLord... end of #Christmas season in the Western calendar. Back to green, #OrdinaryTime. But that’s still pretty extraordinary in itself... many cribs retain the #shepherds & add in the #Magi. Not sure what they all eat...nearly 3 weeks! 1/
You have to say, it gets pretty crowded & noisy in there...shepherds, lambs, pipes... the ox & ass aren’t #Trappists either... 2/
...and that’s not to mention the #Angels... We conflate 2 separate events a year apart. If #Epiphany had its own octave all would make more sense. It would give #OrdinaryTime 33 weeks too; which makes sense: a week for every year... 3/
