Founders wait! Don't go into that VC meeting just yet. Meet 'Mean VC' 🚀 - a new GPT plugin that doesn't hold back by @yoheinakajima Let's face it... nobody is or will give you brutally honest feedback. Don't expect VC's to give it either. But then there is 'Mean VC' 🧵

Putin's invasion of Ukraine has given us a moment of moral clarity. We can no longer afford to indulge the illusions we spun for our own consumption during the Long Peace. noahpinion.substack.com/p/a-…

As an early LP love seeing the storming success of @Alicebentinck and Matt with @joinef . If you want to start a moonshot hi-tech or deeptech startup, seriously consider joining one of the *worlds* very best company builders and be an: Entrepreneur First.
Looking profiles of people joining @joinef this cycle. Absolutely mind blowing: people leaving the world’s best technology companies, universities and startups to become founders. We want to be the natural home of the world’s most ambitious people... and it’s happening 🚀

Tomorrow, 24 teams will come together from across Singapore, Bangalore and Hong Kong to pitch to hundreds of investors at our 5th Asia Investor Day. Watch the pitches live at live.joinef.com
Very simple but the journey of a startup looks as follow: 1. Founder Market Fit 2. Product Market Fit 3. GoTo Market (Market) Fit => 🚀 We build conviction on 1, we invest between 1 and 2, we do our best to help founders get to 2... and to 3.

EF are fast becoming the new YC, only globally, instead of rigidly (and rather obstinately) staying in Silicon Valley.
We've created a new stage of Venture Capital - Talent Investing. We've just closed a $115m fund to expand our model so we can invest in 2,000+ individuals worldwide. Very excited for what's next for @joinef techcrunch.com/2019/02/19/a-…

Get excited, Singapore. We're planning on investing up to 50m here over the next 3 years. Thanks for the write up, @ClaudiaChongBT!
