Right now high quality European deals are more expensive than US deals. There is much less high quality and so capital concentrates much faster to them and the price soars. Many companies are being destroyed by the deals and prices they are being done at.

Founders how to know what price to raise a fundraising round at? Ask one simple question: What price do I think I can confidently raise at when I need to go out and raise next time? This price needs to be 3x the price of the round you are raising now.

6. Why Founder Mode Is Dangerous and Will Encourage Bad Behaviour The whole point was to delegate effectively. Stay close to things that really matter & far away from things that don’t. Micromanaging everything will never work. Love your thoughts on this @akothari @pmarca

“I think Founder Mode is going to be one of the blog posts that is the most misused & causes a lot of the worst behaviour.” The word-to-value ratio of this show is off the charts. 🚨 Why Founder Mode is dangerous 👎 Why OKRs are BS 💰 Why raising money is a huge waste of time https://t.co/ibIMk1SwFk

What a day. Started at 5AM with FT piece. Ending at 2AM with email. Time for bed. https://t.co/Py5h4ySuME

6. How Founders Can Know if an Investment Is Meaningful to a VC They have to join the board. A $5M check with a board seat is a better signal than $10M with no board seat. It shows they are willing to spend time there. Love to hear your thoughts on this @martin_casado

Twitter is incredible. Within 24 hours of this tweet, both interviews secured.

Two companies that are incredible but also not featured on nearly enough podcasts: Life360 Grindr If anyone can make intros to their CEOs, so love to make those episodes happen.

The amount of public company CEOs who are unable to describe their company in a compelling way in 1 minute or less is truly shocking. Comms teams, this should be your #1 priority.

7. Why Now Is the Time to Be Political Western governments are impinging on freedom of speech & entrepreneurial freedom. They are starting wars between nuclear powers. It is important for humanity. Love your thoughts here @shaunmmaguire @reidhoffman @mikeeisenberg

If Founder Mode was a podcast this would be it. Most podcasts you listen to are full of corporate jargon and BS. This is something else with @eoghan. 💥 Why early stage is f****d 🤯 Why companies building in-house SaaS with AI are crazy 💰 Why Bill Gurley is wrong on https://t.co/E8c3iQ1xqS

20VC tomorrow with @eoghan: "I'm a big believer in individual liberty and peace. We are in a time where both of those are being threatened. It is crystal clear that Trump and Vance are the people who promote personal liberties and freedoms." Love your thoughts @rabois https://t.co/HUqugvYf3W

8. Lesson From Mike Moritz on Investing Too much focus on numbers isn’t enough. You have to be able to dream about what the founder & company can become over time. You have to have the dream gene. Love to hear your thoughts @klarnaseb @collision @fidjissimo

Interesting nugget here: WIRED asked whether it was considering any sort of payment system for users when it does strike deals. Roberts says there is no plan at the moment, but that she would consider it if data licensing for AI became incredibly lucrative down the road.
