| | Christoph Janz "The clear winner is, not surprisingly, an excellent founding team, followed by a large TAM (Total Addressable Market), moat (i.e. defensibility), a great and highly differentiated product, a repeatable sales model, and a dollar retention rate of over 100%, i.e. negative ARR churn." | | Kevin Sahin "We did everything on our own. For example, on our first project, we spent two weeks implementing our home-made login/register/forgot password system. That's stupid. It's a "commodity feature", and there isn't any value for our users in it!" | | Paul McNabb "It is actually more I-data-T than I-o-T. The quality of coffee as a raw material is, of course, important — but this is all about manipulating the process via the data trail that it creates. And what's interesting about data is it can be abstracted, manipulated, analysed and enhanced in a way that things can't." | | Justin Kan "The process for raising money in a seed round and an A round may seem superficially similar, but there are significant differences that are worth highlighting. Many founders expect that because they raised a seed round (perhaps even a very large one) they know what the A process is like." | |
