Lately, I've been spending a lot of time with my partners at Flybridge's new Next Wave New York Fund.

Here are my biggest takeaways from spending so much time with second, third, and fourth-time founders: The first big lesson we've all been talking about is focus.

When you're a first-time founder, it's easy to get pulled in a million different directions. You want to say yes to every opportunity, chase every shiny object.

Stoked for @narratorai @ae4ai and the team to pitch at @ycombinator Demo Day today! They’ve put in so much hard work over the last couple of years and these last three months have been a whirlwind. #ycdemoday #YCombinator #S19 When people ask why we backed @ae4ai so early (a literal idea on a napkin), I have to go way back to when he was an intern for me at @wework. He sent me a thoughtful and succinct cold email asking if he could work with our team so he could learn all about about startups.
