I'd really, really love to start a satirical video podcast in the VC/startup/investing space. I know nothing about any of this but I can't get the idea out of my head. It's called "Fully Vested" The premise is that we try to convince everyone that we know that they need to start investing in vests or startups that have something to do with vests. That is all. Who wants to co-host? Preferably someone who knows the space and also owns a lot of vests. Thx. (image by Midjourney) #Investing #dreambig #unicorn #winning

What is the biggest #risk a #VC can take? What is the hardest challenge when looking to identify and back founders who have an outsized likelihood of winning? Why is Canva able to grow at breakneck speed through acquisitions as well as organic growth? These are some of the questions that Maria Halasz of Random VC asked me in a detailed interview.

One of the most common questions I get from founders is what they should pay themselves. Good podcast that explores this issue in the venture capital world for startup founders. #founders #startups #venturecapital https://lnkd.in/gvrTsBR2

In the startup game? You better know your Investor Rights. Ever heard of "liquidation preferences"? It's the rule that says investors get paid first if you sell or shut down your company. They get their share before anyone else, no questions asked. So, if you're selling or going bust, just know—investors will be counting their cash while everyone else waits. That's how it works in the startup world! Want to learn more? Check out The Founder's Journey podcast for all the insider tips. Watch now: https://loom.ly/SFOKD7Q
