Solid #truth from @jasonfried and @karaswisher.
Founders, don't let funding wreck your dream.
1. Raise as little money as you can get away with.
2. Solve problems that matter to your customers.
3. Keep degrees of freedom over your own destiny.
4. WIN
@AlignedPartners
It was really a thrill to sit across from @karaswisher and shoot the shit. You can listen to said shit on the latest Recode Decode podcast right here —> recode.net/2019/1/23/1819368… (and anywhere else you might listen to podcasts). Thanks for having me on, Kara.

There are so many ways to build a company. Classic venture capital is only one of those paths (and one of the most restrictive paths, at that).
@indievc @AlignedPartners and others offer alternatives for founders.

“We find that age indeed predicts success, and sharply, but in the opposite way that many observers and investors propose. The highest success rates in #entrepreneurship come from founders in middle age and beyond.” blogs.wsj.com/cio/2018/08/31…

Raised ~$43 total in four rounds to build and scale the business 💪🏽
Some experienced investors like @bryce @jodij @epaley constantly 🥁 the beat of capital efficiency.
Maybe, just maybe, it’s worth listening to them 😊 – at San Francisco, CA
“If I had been handed $100 million I don’t know that I would have understood the business as well as I did. It forced us to understand our strengths. It forced us to think about profitability early so we weren’t dependent on venture capitalists.” —@kmlake forbes.com/sites/moiraforbes…

"It is human nature for burn rates to stay high when there's money available. It just is." In ep. 18 of Venture Confidential, @jodij of @alignedpartners explains how companies can be more capital efficient and have better results in the long term. bit.ly/2sRDKNq

This research is extremely interesting and closely matches @AlignedPartners's investment strategy — the VC firm who funded us at Bit Discovery (avg age: ~42). Aligned also focuses on funding experienced teams who have been there and done that. We’ll see how we do. :) teapawt.net/DanielPink/status/1011…
Research: The best entrepreneurs tend to be middle-aged.
- Among fastest-growing new tech companies, the average founder was 45 at the time of founding.
- A 50-year-old entrepreneur is nearly twice as likely to have a runaway success as a 30-year-old.

Hm, @jodij and @AlignedPartners may be on to something with their crazy ideas about raising as little as possible, building real value, and running efficiently. Strange that this is strange. teapawt.net/indievc/status/1008914…
“Huffington sold her company for $315m, but multiple VC funding rounds left her with a small ownership percentage- she walked away with ~$21m.
Arrington sold TechCrunch for ~$40m but since he didn’t raise external funding, his payday was around $25-30m” thehustle.co/how-venture-cap…

Is having a big stack of cash always a good thing for a growing company? Hear @alignedpartners' @jodij explain why too many companies are overcapitalized and how that can be a problem at the end of the day for founders and investors alike. bit.ly/2sRDKNq
