What’s the process for when a user gets a new phone? I dread getting one because my keys depending on the phone completely disappear and have no transfer mechanism.

Interesting. Anecdotally, I have seen the opposite, where a company will raise multiple layers of SAFEs since pre-money SAFEs get diluted as you add more SAFEs, and you don't need to negotiate board seats or any control terms with a SA

My understanding is that additional post-money SAFEs dilute solely common, whereas additional pre-money SAFEs dilute common and other pre-money SAFEs. So if you want to do a new round, by doing an equity round, you can dilute the post-money

Overall, simplifying how to understand one's cap table is great. It gets in the way of many founders understanding their business in really pernicious ways. I do believe this will change the dynamic for YC founders dramatically 1 - 3 y

Could someone turn this into a business? Then it would hopefully survive on its own.

My anecdotal evidence is that VC is more a "operator turned VC" now than ever before. VC used to be all MBAs / finance types (e.g., head of tech research at an investment bank). But every year, it is harder and harder to beco

The writer claims to "rely heavily on data," but the punchline of the article is purely anecdotal that 1 person at 1 company got hired, was good and would have been overlooked. I am sure there were also many candidates with good r

Marketing materials are always a work in progress! We're very excited about pants; we don't have them yet, but it's most likely our next product.
