Apologies if you’ve sent in a pitch deck for your startup this week; I’ve gotten 150+ pitches the last few days and that’ll take me a bit to dig through. Angel investing is a real trip. startups Related

Been digging into my own angel investor metrics lately; I currently invest in about 2% of the companies I see. If you're raising, just know that a lot of this is a numbers game. Even the hot startups I talk to get a lot of `no` before hearing `yes`. startups Related

QSBS is like, one of the most powerful things an angel investor can leverage. And it's crazy powerful for early startup employees too (with some caveats, of course). It's free money. Tracking QSBS treatment can save you thousands. Millions. Billions? Sure, maybe. Quoting @signedco It's tax week at Signed!

i’m wearing an ANGELS DESERVE DPI TOO shirt for @signedco today at an angel investor event and I don’t think many quite understand the joke, which in and of itself is pretty telling of the typical angel investor these days too. it’s a self-referential referential joke. Related

None of this is brilliant filmmaking, even if it is efficient, and much of it isn’t even necessarily good, but damned if I can’t stop watching it.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
