Founders

a founder long ago told me they wished they could put all their investor conversations in one group chat, and now i finally understand what they meant lol.

Reminds me of the story that came out about when SBF raised funding by sending all the investors a shared spreadsheet "add yourself when you're ready to invest" with increasing valuation terms per row.

Dev ecosystem @farcaster, cofounder @bountycaster. Prev: cofounder of Scalar Capital, product at Coinbase, coproducer @ethereumfilm

I've recommended this to founders when they want to reduce time in just sending out major announcements and asking investors to share OR asking for intros

I specifically don't recommend this for getting advice to reduce bias from a public setting / large group (so still messaging people individually for advice)

I am an investor in one of these chats and it is silent

Herd mentality is real so it forces a binary outcome. 

If you’re a hot team in a hot sector at exactly the right time, it’s likely to work out well.
