We’ve just launched @incident_io On-call and I couldn’t be more excited! 🎉
Our goal was “so good, you’ll break things on purpose” and we’ve poured our hearts and souls into this one.
I think it shows ❤️

Having survived two previous market resets (2001, 2009), people frequently ask me how this 2022 market reset is different and how it is the same. The obvious similarity is that valuation multiples have collapsed. We went from a "glass very full" mindset to one with many concerns.

An entire generation of entrepreneurs & tech investors built their entire perspectives on valuation during the second half of a 13-year amazing bull market run. The "unlearning" process could be painful, surprising, & unsettling to many. I anticipate denial. Some thoughts:

Another common question I’m answering working with scaling tech companies is…
Q. What’s the worst leadership advice you’ve heard?
A. By far the worst is “Hire great people and get out of their way”.
Let me explain… 🧵 (1/32)

Permira Growth Opportunities has led a $312m investment in @GoCardless, a leading fintech in direct bank payment solutions. The company becomes the latest European and UK tech unicorn at a valuation of $2.1bn. We’re delighted to support @hirokitakeuchi and his team!

The toughest part of growing Segment from $0-200M+ ARR was letting go of product (which I understood) to focus on go-to-market (which I didn't). In 2017 I was really struggling with this. Five friends set me straight, a thread. 1/12

Goodbye, journalism. Hello, @tryzapp.
Thank you @i_woodford - you worked really hard on this and it shows.
Of all the pieces I've written, this has to be one of the most memorable. @sohear is a brilliant colleague (he'd hate if I said "friend"), and his decision to leave journalism will be felt across the industry. We'll miss ya, Steve! (sorta)

Garry’s support over the last twelve months was amazing.
He was with me, every step of the way, as we turned the ship around at Zeus.
Founders, if Garry offers you a term sheet, take it!
He’s awesome (and I believe, still underrated).
Proud to be on the Forbes Midas list for the third year in a row, this time at #35
Pretty sure I am the top YouTuber on this list too 😆
Can’t do it without my partners @Initialized @AldaLeuDennis @brettdg @kimmaicutler @ndrewlee and Jen Wolf 🙏

This is a story about how I lost $10,000,000 by doing something stupid.
Ten. Million. Dollars.
Literally up in smoke. Money bonfire.
That’s enough to retire with $250,000+ in annual income.
Here’s what happened…

For @Codecademy's first 4yrs, we were in the 📰 every wk. Those weeks, we made $0. The past 4 years, we've been out of the headlines. Now, we've raised $40m, our first raise in ~4yrs.
How'd we go from the center of the hype cycle to the brink of bankruptcy and back? Read on...

I'm interviewing Sequoia on the 18th at virtual Slush and then the always classy @hirokitakeuchi on the 19th for Startup Grind. I think we can all agree who the warm up act is 🙃

When @jburnmurdoch said this was "probably the best article on Covid I've read," I had to read it immediately. It's really good, as everything from @zeynep seems to be.
