Today we announced we've made our first acquisition today, originating from a cold DM on the 🐦 app 🙌 Delighted to bring @shelly_ai_app into SEDNA and more importantly have @warrenkucker @jcaprara join the crew.

Right away, Joe and Warren demonstrated relentless focus on customers that sits core to SEDNA's philosophy. Combined with a parallel hypothesis of bringing a data layer into communication, building fast & phenomenal work ethic; @wfdobie and I knew we had to work with them.

Partnering with Shelly supercharges our customer's ability to understand the goldmine in their inbox, and build the interface between communications and workflow. We can't wait to save our users thousands of hours.

Only just fell in love with @getcommande, and it's already been sold to Dropbox 😓. Hopefully doesn't go the same way as Hackpad 📝🐌

Same governments that so effectively built Covid-19 track and trace, and digital vaccination passports? 🧐🤦🏻‍♂️

>50% of Enterprise investors position themselves around distribution but the depth of the black books are often smaller than imagined (+ relative impact declines with scale), unless they are systematic about nurturing network for this purpose and putting it to work. Most aren't.
Replying to @balajis
That can be consumer distribution in the form of social media & brand halo, or enterprise distribution in the form of business relationships & actual distribution deals (if the investor is a strategic), or both. But that’s now what distinguishes investors: their distribution.

Great new product again from AL for seed stage founders. So much cleaner from a cap table and admim perspective. And it can help lower the bar to bring newee / smaller angels on to the cap table.
Founders: Use Roll Up Vehicles to accept all of the strategic angel checks you want with none of the hassles angellist.com/ruv

All the headlines about UK Covid rates flattening off since March, but we're doing 700k+ more LF tests per day... with a false positive around 0.1%. 📉 Comparing Apples and Oranges.

Excellent breakdown of current funding environment from @semil
ugh fixed major typo... my quick take on why early-stage tech valuations are soaring to even greater heights, shattering "revenues multiples" methodologies, and instilling fear of missing out on the next great plot of real estate......
