Do not think your startup will not succeed without funding or finding that elusive and mythical co-founder #startups

With the tariff nonsense and loss of $6 trillion in the market, do angels still have an appetite to invest right now pre-seed and seed companies? #startups #Founders

Amazing numbers and accomplishments, especially considering the few startup legal and immigration resources many have had available. I meet with a lot of foreign student founders, and the hidden startup obstacles they have had to overcome do not get talked about at all.

Great day for a bike ride in Philly. Took out our ETRONX e-bikes and rode the trail from Conshohocken to Philly. It is almost time for the Bikes and Brews ride! Who’s in? #BikesandBrewsRide

I’m hearing the same from many angel investors- the chaos in DC is putting them on the sidelines for now. #startups #founders

Hey Millennials please stop bringing your babies to happy hour. It’s annoying and thank you from GenX.

Seriously stop running up the middle and kick it outside. We can’t get the defense off balance in the snow pushing it inside.

#Eagles, any pass over 5 yards is not a good idea-just run the ball!

I am often asked by new #Startup founders how to get a valuation before reaching out to angel investors. The answer is as Simple as an Agreement for Future Equity and that they do not need that now. #founders

#Startup idea: An OG E-sports platform/league for older gamers (40+, 50+, 60+ -new games and classics) online, regional and national tourneys, meetups and sponsors. Let’s build this. #esports #videogames #genx #gamers

I think deep down I might be more happy to see Threads fail as a result of Bluesky taking off.

I believe we will see a record number of new startups in 2025.

Trust me, it is easier to find a hundred new clients than one good job.
