Last week legendary startup investor, John Doerr, was under fire for citing his inability to pronounce some of his firm's partners names. Read more here.
You may have noticed that one of your two curators has a difficult name to pronounce. The "h" in Chris' name is silent. Phonetically it is pronounced "KRIS".
Speaking about Chris, check out his notes from a pretty awesome class along with some other great reads including one by David Hasselhoff doppelgänger.
Happy Weekend!

"There is no one size fits all approach but rather the goal of the class is to provide you with a chessboard of how to think about moving from one level of scale to the next level of scale — and also when to scale in the first place."
| | Mark Suster "Some firms are collegiate. They like to have deals in which a large number of people agree or perhaps where nobody is against a deal. I would call these "consensus VCs" and most likely are inhabited by country-club partners who are used to avoiding conflict." | | Ricardo Schäfer "The more capital efficient a business the less capital it will require to scale, which means that investors generally achieve a higher return on their investment." | | Kristo Käärmann and Taavet Hinrikus "With no alternatives, consumers were dependent on banks. And with no competition, banks did not need to offer a better deal. The main way that this unfairness was manifested was through the lack of transparency in the industry." | | | You are receiving this email because you believe that the best startup articles and videos are made by active members of the startup community.
