How to read a book
A thread
🧵
Select the right book
goodreads.com is a good starting place
Trust serendipity too !
Start by skimming, not reading.
This should take a few minutes
If the book seems boring or pointless, then discard it ruthlessly and move on to the next one !

When entrepreneurs pitch to me, one of the first questions I ask them is how much money they want to raise and what their pre-money valuation is.

Most calculate how much money they want to raise, decide how much they want to dilute, and then come up with a number, which is a bit like pulling a rabbit out of a hat
