Genuine, non-snarky question: do you think the trend of founders who run companies & side hustle as angel investor fund managers will succeed or perish. Why or why not?

I didn't realize until this month how prevalent it has become. Lots of friends doing it so no judgement.
Further, how will it change or disrupt series A investing?
As a founder looking for investors, do you care where the money came from? It used to be that the money was directly from the person's personal wealth. Bonus: check sizes are bigger so cap tables are simpler.

The inevitable future of work will be large remote teams. Stripe, from what I hear, has gone to significant lengths to make a culture that can work this way. Once a few big co prove it, startups will follow suit & create a new, global talent war like we've never seen before.
My understanding is you cannot simply decide you’re going to employ large remote teams. You have to ingrain a culture in a certain way of communicating, making decisions, etc. It will be tough for an est co to shift. We will all need a template to model ourselves after.
Once a successful template exists that a board feels comfortable with, there’s going to be a lot of software tools going from internal use to real products everyone can use. (ie: what slack did to IRC will happen with email lists ala Stripe)

I cannot urge early stage startups enough to make a model of their unit economics. It is so telling what will likely cause great, early pain in your startup in the first 5 years. It’ll keep you honest & let you test the accuracy of your intuition. Buffer for the unknown.
For some it may be depressing but for others it’ll make you feel a stronger sense of conviction about clever ways you can improve things. That will help you focus more clearly on what’s important.
When constructing your unit economics model I highly recommend being conservative: assume churn is higher, estimated costs will be greater, improvements will have a reduced impact, average sales prices will be lower. Use similar companies as a benchmark.

#Founders: We're up against #JackMa (& #China) *enforcing* a 72-hour work-week

#996 = 6 days a week, 9am to 9pm

The same exact work ethic that built America!

You can get on your twitter pedestal & attack Ma or you can make a plan to win.
The harsh truth is America is in a war with people who want *it* more than Americans do.

We can choose to become a retirement community like Europe, with negative growth, or we can step up & compete.

What's at stake isn't just money, it's democracy vs. communism.
Not going to tell you how many hours you should work, but I will tell you that you need a plan to fight heads up against Chinese companies -- which will be going head-to-head with every startup every created in the next decade

Ignoring, deriding or dismissing China isn't a plan.

Attracted by infamous #ViolentUpside of past #Uranium Bull Markets? 🚀🌜 #Investment choices are limited in this tiny niche sector with only ~60 companies left standing of over 500 #U3O8 related #stocks a decade ago. In this thread I will try to lay out some #investor options..🗂️
For lowest risk #investment in #uranium best option is a traded Fund that holds Physical #U3O8. ⚛️ In North America that's Uranium Participation (#TSX: $U OTC: $URPTF) & in #UK that's Yellow Cake PLC (#AIM: $YCA). A 3rd choice, Uranium Trading Corp $UTC, is set to IPO in US. ✍🏼
If you prefer to #invest in baskets of #uranium #stocks through ETF's for 1-trade in & out #U3O8 sector exposure, only 2 real choices. In North America, Global X Uranium ETF $URA on #NYSE, Indexed by Market Cap📊 In UK, Geiger Counter Ltd Fund on LSE: $GCL cherry-picked by PM's🍒

“Major cause of Poverty is Corruption” - VP Osinbajo #NEDG #BON #VPDebate. This is a grave lie. I have addressed this before. Corruption is everywhere in the world including in USA. Lack of productivity is what causes Poverty. This admin weaponize Poverty & lies a lot.
If the current admin mean well for Nigeria and have kept their promises to Nigerians, this debate is done already. All they need do is point to what they have done and justify the need to complete their work. It is as easy as that. They have failed. Simple. #NeverAgain
Corruption is not about stealing public funds alone. Nepotism, Abuse Of Office, subjugation of the rule of Law, religious bigotry etc are part of the catalytic factors that promote poverty and cripple productivity. The deliberate weakening of our institution is a critical factor.

Starting "Voices without Frontiers" #VoicesIWS
A program by @IWS_Network to promote awareness about the challenges & lessons learned by #Immigrant and #International #WomenInScience

I was born & raised in Chicoral, Colombia. A tiny town in the middle of the Andes Cordillera.
I attended Nuestra Señora del Rosario school, located in Espinal, 15Km away from Chicoral. Due to the high heat by noon, all schools start really early back home. This meant, I had to wake up at 5am to attend school every morning since I was 4 years old. #VoicesIWS
I did well in math and science in elementary and high school, so I chose to study clinical microbiology. Although coming from a low-middle income family, I was able to attend university, thanks to my parents’ effort to prioritize education over other commodities. #VoicesIWS
