This book was a lot of fun to read. And I loved that @semil makes a cameo 😀 poll on who Payman is inspired by?! I have my hunches!
In The Underdogs by Isaac Kan, three lives collide in the fast-paced world of San Francisco's tech scene. Pablo, Jasper, and Ousama face ambition, survival, and betrayal. Who will rise, and at what cost? #startup #contemporaryfiction vist.ly/3mipjuz

VC: Want to let you know that I'm founder friendly Founder: Why did you replace me as CEO then? VC: I'm still your friend 😜
VC Partner: ...I never thought I'd say this...but the Valley has gotten too toxic. Time to leave. Associate: Where are you relocating? VC Partner: My penthouse in Trump Tower.
Guess whose back?! Time to troll the Tech echo chamber. Lets do this.
Truth. How many YC “Partners” are building, have built, anything of consequence? Not talking about raising a top tier Series A or B based on their rep. Talking about real lasting businesses. @justinkan with Twitch. Who else? <crickets>
Founder: This CoronaVirus is scary VC: Tell me about it! Founder: I’m working from home VC: I’m working from Aspen
<OH at Sightglass> Founder: Our team has combined 18 years of software experience! VC: What does that mean? Founder: 😬
What’s the point of publicly shaming them? 🤔
Dear investment bankers: please DON’T unilaterally add me to your mailing list where you send info on random companies raising money. The last time I invested in a banked early stage deal was: NEVER.
The Bay Area can be summed up as: “I know what I’m doing, I went to Stanford.”
I’m sure @parkerconrad & team got a chuckle from this one 😆 and soft spoken @mamoonha giggled from the corner 🙂
This is a little know fact: In Silicon Valley when two companies backed by the same VC clash, it is customary for the legal teams to respond in iambic pentameter and the matter is arbitrated through a poetry slam.
Reading this only reaffirms the truth that, Silicon Valley, is a stateless machine. time.com/5784464/susan-…
<Founder & VC @ Burning Man> VC: You wanna take some acid? They call it the truth syrum! Founder: ...okay...I guess? <Two Hours Later> Founder: I’m gonna have to fire my best friend VC: I need a 2nd peloton for my office
When backing founders, it’s important to back great ones and not good ones.
when starting a startup, it's important to make good decisions and not bad ones
<July 2018 Partner Meeting> VC: How did we miss out on the @brandless round?! That's the sort of team we need to back! Associate: Oh...Okay! <Feb 2020 Partner Meeting> VC: You see the @brandless news? Thing was doomed from the start. Associate: Do you have a soul?
<Founder calls Lead Investor> CEO: ...This is a tough call to make VC: Tough calls are what I’m here for! CEO: We’re six weeks away from being out of cash VC: I’m on the ski lift. Can you hear me?
