There is only one Mona Lisa. The value is derived for it being viewed as a masterpiece. Not every painting, baseball card, or a piece of jewelry holds value over a time. Mona Lisa has held its allure for over 500 years. How many NFTs will be admired 500 years later?

When I was leaving Goldman one of my friends called and said ‘Samiah listen to me you can’t change the system’
I said I’m not going to change the system I’m just going to create my own

More like sales or product. For Series B and under startups the CEO should be managing burn.

Basically Vettery bought Hired changed its name to Hired. Later Adecco Group came and gobbled up Hired. So technically Vettery/Hired are a branch of Adecco now.

Seeing all the posts about folks graduating and the only thing I gotta say is:
I learned more from turning $500 into $80K to pay for the damn grad degree than the degree itself

One of the things I love about NYC is that it is a hodgepodge of so many cultures and subcultures. My friend is starting a degree program at Columbia Uni this fall. We celebrated by going to Hungarian Pastry Shop. No better way to spend an afternoon.

For someone who is non-tech and has other stronger competencies. What is your best advice for finding a technical co-founder?

I’ve previously worked at 4 startups full time and another 3 fractionally. Not a single one entered rocket ship territory. Hard to identify which seed to series a startups are actually going to make it. Especially, when there is no PMF when joining.

I rotated working at different startups. Looking back the stories were seemingly similar.
All tech bros wearing black t-shirts with supposedly 10X engineering backgrounds from bougie ex- companies and colleges stacked with VC money. All but one shut down. Here’s why:

Finding the right founder market fit is difficult

1. Perfection kills. Most of these guys would run out of cash by the time they thought the product was ready to launch. One team fired me when I told them to just put it to market and see what happens. Guess who’s dead now? Them 😝

Went to Morocco for two weeks in January. Everyone was nice and felt pretty safe roaming around on my own. The food was good. Toured 6 cities. I’d recommend it.

One of the YC companies that was in the same area as my team recently just gave up.
The founder was wearing designer head to toe. It looked like they just spent all the money on looking the part and partying rather than finding PMF.
YC should ask for receipts.

Alot of people have the mentality that they want to use their prime years to earn boat loads of 💰. Maybe, when they have accumulated enough they can start giving back to the community and causes they care about. Life is not a zero sum game.Don't wait for the right time, do both.

My cofounder pitched at an event earlier today
There was a YC founder there who mentioned that one of their batch teams is doing something very similar
So here’s the deal boys - it don’t matter how much money you raise if you ain’t got sales 🙃
May the best deal maker win!😉

Met an acquisition entrepreneur that bought a company for $1.3 million via sellers note and sold it for $150 million without raising a single cent externally. Maybe starting up is not the way to go if you want to make a killing.
Buy, grow, sell!

Chronicles of raising
A VC partner reached out to me to ask what I’m building
I’m not even 1 minute into explaining what I’m working on
He stops me and asks me when I plan on having kids

Great read on decentralizing education.
If Web3 can solve the problem of access, time, affordability, & location it will change the game for not just education but the merits of how society functions.

What I learned tonight? Web3 is simply a way to decentralise ownership. I suppose in a way it gives power back to the people who build the very communities that profit off them.
