Another stellar thread from @dunkhippo33 - I particularly like the bit about having more ppl not helping to find PM fit. Too many founders raise to hire for stuff they don't want to do, not for getting to/past PM fit.
Saturday thoughts on funding: Where it helps. Where it doesn't. And how it affects team, success, and PM fit. This is just my $0.02 after looking reviewing 30k+ early stage startups personally and having led 350+ investments across 2 VC firms & as an angel. Let's begin! >>

Some Friday marketing thoughts - a portfolio founder asked me today when is the right time to start marketing? It's a great q - I think most founders step on the pedal too early. Here's what you need to understand *before* really scaling out:
