Startup Professionals Musings
AUGUST 1, 2018
While spending years in a big company as an employee and an executive, I heard many people talking about jumping the corporate ship, dreaming of being an entrepreneur, and totally in charge of their own destiny. Fortunately for many of them it was all talk and no action, saving them from a world of grief, since some simply didn’t have the attributes and mindset to be an entrepreneur.

We’re living at a time when valuations are very high, as Fred Wilson and Ari Newman have both recently pointed out. When valuations rise, so do the caps on notes, which are upper limits on valuation at conversion. In many cases the caps are very high because the entrepreneurs are telling the investors that they’re super confident they’re about to raise a larger round and they just need to “bridge” the company to that larger round.

Jujitsu is the martial art whereby you use your opponent’s strengths or your own (oft-perceived) weakness to your advantage. Hmmm.

I’m the East side of Austin one evening while on a date. A cute restaurant a bit on the fancy side. It was a typical evening in that we asked each other about our upbringings, aspirations and the typical things you’d want to know about a person. It wasn’t until midway through that things got a bit more awkward. The police officer in the back was a very large man and he timidly approached my date to try to tell him something.
