Fooled by Experts

Aaron Harris

"Coming up with questions is a good sign of creativity, while answering them well builds the expertise necessary to actually get something done."

Investor VCs and Operator VCs

Fred Wilson

"I think of strategy as the opposite of execution. Strategy is about setting the stage for execution. Many of the best strategic minds I know aren't operators. They are consultants, analysts, investors, pundits. I don't know exactly why brilliant strategists often make terrible operators but I see it all the time."

Launching in the US: Salaries, PTOs & Perks

Will Gibbs

"The US job market is normally cited as setting salary levels above those for similar roles in different geographies. However, it is hard to generalise as there are significant variances in the US depending on the city, role and level of seniority. For example, the average salary for a developer in Palo Alto is $120k compared to $80k in Texas."

Startup Funding Mechanics: Incorporation, Convertible Debt & Series A

Dave Parker

"When you incorporate your company the value or basis of the stock is (hopefully) the least it will ever be. At that point in time, you are granting Issued shares to the founders. This grant is in exchange for an Assignment Agreement and anticipated work to be contributed to the organization."
