Founders are busy re-structuring their operating plans to reduce burn.
A reduction in burn almost always slows growth which #VCs will interpret as a negative signal.
The result is confusion and loads of bad advice.
Is this a solvable problem? 🧵👇

i am still amazed how most startup investors are great at understanding that startups can grow exponentially but don’t understand that markets can too
“the TAM is too small” has cost startup investors more money than any other often-repeated phrase i know of
Digjay Patel retweeted
These days, I get a lot of cold emails from aspiring VC fund mgrs who want advice.
But ppl often conflate investing in startups to running a VC fund.
They are not the same, and there are many ways to scratch the itch of investing in startups besides starting a fund.

First-time founder DM’d me asking:
“What do we need to achieve to raise a pre-seed round?” (paraphrased)
My response on an important prerequisite.
Digjay Patel retweeted
I worked at one of YC's fastest growing startups and made it to senior management.
Most of my equity was in the form of refreshers. When I eventually left, I couldn't afford to exercise my options, so I took out a non-recourse loan.
The outcome was extremely painful👇
