The incentive has never been higher for the agglomerator venture firms to wait to invest until a company is a “clear winner”


Jeff highlights one of the key reasons a number of founders have told us they've chosen @footworkvc over other firms as their Seed or Series A lead - because our investment team is just two of us, equal partners, co-founders of the firm. This is our last job.

Venture Capital Musical Chairs (And Why Founders Should Care) When I first got into venture capital, I assumed that General Partners stayed at firms for most of their careers. From the outside, venture capital shops looked like stable institutions. At the very least, they felt…



It is so much easier to be a major investor in a company and to not take a board of directors seat.

Like de Tocqueville capturing the unique spirit of America as an outsider in 1835, @nbt nails the New York startup spirit from his seat in SF

Data from this election is... wild. e.g. Erie PA moving from +1 Trump to +24 Democrats. Wow.


One of many 🤯 stats from this conversation: Canva is $3.3B ARR, but also giving away $1.5B ARR to non-profits, students, education users. Any other software company donating their product at that scale?

"I don't want to look at the bricks around me and ask how high I can stack them. I want to design the most magical, wonderful, mythical castle on a hill and then figure out how to build it." Melanie Perkins (@MelanieCanva) is co-founder and CEO of @Canva, one of the hottest…



Our block in Potrero Hill was taken over by a film crew today. Putting the pieces together, pretty sure this is a sneak peek of the next OpenAI commercial

The flavor of company I love most: both consumer and enterprise. OpenAI, Canva, NVIDIA, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon... the most ambitious founders building the largest companies in the world are both.

I had a conversation with an investor yesterday who claimed there hasn’t been a hit consumer app in over five years. My response: ChatGPT is a consumer app. He pushed back saying “It started as a research lab, not a consumer company.” That convo made me realize how broken our…
