With the current strong economy, as an active startup mentor, I’m seeing a new surge of entrepreneurs and startups, with the commensurate scramble for funding. There just aren’t enough angel investors and VCs to go around. Thus I’m getting more questions on new mechanisms, like crowd funding, or going public through the side door as a reverse merger.

Standard public speaking advice goes something like this: Practice your presentation, make eye contact with your audience and keep it snappy. And to be sure, these are all worthwhile habits to incorporate into your regimen. But where do you start?

On Books, Fatherhood, Diversity, Crypto On Books … Over the holidays, I reread “The Hard Thing About Hard Things” by Ben Horowitz. The last time I read this book, I sent Ben a cold email congratulating him on it and asked him for career advice. That led to an intro to Frank Chen at A16Z which led to my first project ever for a VC. That’s a fun story in itself and I’ll write about it another time.
