But we got serious in early 2016 when we developed deep conviction around the immense technical vision of Ethereum. This means that private keys — the keys that literally control the money — never touch the Internet. But we never lost the finance bug. We’ve been investing in cryptoassets since 2013. The fund returned ~8x in 24 months.

But if our website says that Credo invests in IT, Internet, mobile or healthcare startups predominantly in Central Europe, I just don’t feel obliged to respond to a gold mine in Mongolia or Australian TV production studio. Co-investments are an industry standard, and entrepreneurs should strive to get as much know-how on board as possible.

I guess it should not be a surprise that Founders have lots of challenges working with developers. Challenges I started by asking the founders in the room to tell me some of the challenges they have working with developers. Developers (and Founders) are challenged to know how much is okay in terms of bugs. Changing Your Mind.

People seem to be missing the really big picture of the value of social media and really the Internet for that matter. The promise of the Internet wasn't merely to inflate relationships, without adding depth, resonance, and meaning. Let’s consider some questions I might have: I want to find a co-founder for my startup.

In this post, I describe why we prefer to fund companies whose founder will run the company as its CEO. As we looked at the history of great technology companies, we discovered that founders ran an overwhelming majority of them for a very long time, including: Acer—Stan Shih. Siebel—Tom Siebel. Sony—Akio Morita. Sun—Scott McNeely.

If a VC asks his advisors what they think of your deal and they dislike it, it’s dead. In both cases, a high valuation can end a conversation. Use relationships in your hometown or the hometowns of your founders to seek investment from other cities and states. Horrifying, but true. Pitching an idea. Being invisible or forgotten.
