THREAD FOR ENTREPRENEURS 👇

I wish futurologism was a legit thing right now, not just a word to describe a majority of hopeless attempts to predict stuff

Focusing on the present, I have found a couple of interesting behaviours among the founders who seem to do the right things - They work on their mental wellness,

- They have built routine to work out & eat well,

- They empower their employees into doing the same,

- They communicate clearly, daily & weekly with their team,

- They have a Jan. 2021 objective + full 2021 prospective,

Stop wondering what people think about you, your company

Besides your closed ones, to a certain extent your collaterals, no one really cares beyond the immediate attention thrown at you

Release the pressure
focus on what matters

Yet when it comes to #communication

THREAD 👇 Communication is instrumental

It enables better interactions through mutual understanding & alignment

It attracts people's attention, serves as a tangible marker, generates compounded effects as clear messages travel on a regular basis among people, internally & externally

I love how Twitter feeds me with opinions, lessons & interactions. You are free to use it the way you want. It feels like the company actually respects how people adopt the platform.

You don't need followers to enjoy it,
You can engage/disengage easily,

#0 The platform is still trapped in infinity through the constant flow of content and interactions that prevent people from mastering the time they pass on Twitter and how it feeds them in a meaningful way.

This search for fulfillness-enabling consumer apps is real,

Equal equity split among founders, infinitely, is a non-sense.
And not talking about it is a big mistake.
Go with radical, truthful transparency.

Because there is no autopilot mode for relationships and execution.

#0 20 Obvious Learnings From Our Best Founders #1 The best founders are able to manage both attention to details and velocity towards the highest level of performance.

1/ People complain about the lack of great series B deals in France and Europe.

The main reason is that many series A teams are nurtured with...

Poor empowerment,
Small ambitions,
Too little capital

Or

Wrong empowerment,
Misplaced goals,
Ineficient capital 2/ And we don't have the critical quantitative mass in Europe to absorb this qualitative gap.

We shall believe and nurture with passion and hard work truly ambitious, highly yet efficiently capitalized talented & diverse teams.

So much misplaced ego, hypocrisy & politics in Venture Capital.

That's quite shocking for an industry that praises the value of building great relationships w/ founders & helping them build honest, positive, ambitious organisations.

And yes... Lazy partners will claim deals, stupid colleagues will try to compete with you instead of offering help on deals, people you thought you could trust will bypass you, people you dislike will be hired without anyone giving a damn about the cohesion of the team, the list goes on...
