To make the assembly waiting room at Jury Duty more productive… find the richest looking guy in the room, casually sit next to him and pitch him your startup (or fund). 90% hit rate getting a check...
Some VC firms are great asset gatherers, we are great people gatherers. Welcome @annawbarber to the @EverywhereVC team. Venture is changing but emerging managers are the future! 🚀🚀🚀 https://t.co/aD...
I swear that tech people are starting Substacks just to talk endlessly about how venture is dead. TLDR - it’s not.
Why did all the tech media platforms stop covering startups to focus only on big tech? I miss the days of baby startup launches and cool new products hitting the market. How much OpenAI news can we...
A leading AI software co offered to hire my friend to write thought leadership for the exec team. My friend doesn’t know much about the AI industry but he’s well versed using Claude 🤷🏼♀️

On the subway home tonight I ran into a founder who is closing $10m in deals this week. They were so excited and full of energy at 9pm - and heading home to the see kids before bed. Impressive!
It’s tiring to hear all the proclamations about needing to be invested in one of the 5 AI companies to matter as a VC. Remeber that doesn’t apply to small funds. We can out-perform and not be inves...
