Founders: Get out there and sell. Get out there and get it done.

Sell BEFORE you build. Software and product won’t save you.

Tons of early feedback and validation the market wants it before you build and raise, will.

Fair isn’t something the children of men are able to enforce at scale

If you’re building a startup, you’re already living in the world of unfair

It’s a privilege to build your dreams and be able to call yourself a founder.

Man and woman up and act like it.

Feedback is one of the great allies and weapons of a founder whose true obsession is to build the absolute best solutions to the problem they have chosen to fixate on.

Magic happens when you care more about moving forward than being right.

Great to see 1500+ Founders at our F42 CES Pitch last night

We are back at it again w Tech Alley on the Vegas Strip for the Top Startup Awards tonight

We have one more mastermind hotseat spot

Founders:
Much of your time is spent on figuring out how you can get others to give to you.

Capital, etc

Watch the magic unfold when you flip the script and you lead with giving first.

It’s like the gears of possibility unlock and begin to unfold in your favor

We’ve been saying this is a positive trend that we believe is coming

Funds and single check writers moving into earlier rounds

Founders: all the more reason to be wise & build your capital network early — long before you need it.

Founders: Time to become fundraising fluent

It’s pretty apparent when someone is switched on with capital since the vast majority don’t know.

When capital is one of the top 3 or 4 critical inputs, why wouldn’t you want to master it?

As with the future investor partners you wish to have, lead with value.
Do the same with the venture eco system builders and founders you meet.

BE thinking: "What does this person truly care about and are in need of right now and how can I connect them to that or make that happen for them?"

The posture is different when you don’t need capital but capital needs you.

Learn to go from trying to push your opportunity on investors to pulling and attracting them to you.
