Agree? Disagree? I shared this quote in my recent interview with Medium when I was asked to share a favorite life lesson. It’s inspired by a quote from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand: “The world you desire can be won. It exists...it is real, it is possible...it’s yours.” There is power and freedom in accepting our responsibility for our own lives.

Jerry Seinfeld famously joked: “According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death...This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.” Unfortunately, public speaking skills are not optional for founders - the first thing they have to sell me on is themselves. Here are 5 ways honing your public speaking skills can make a critical difference in your next investor pitch. Link in bio.

Investing in sectors like crypto, like every other

Investing in sectors like crypto, like every other sector, requires a thoughtful, educated, big-picture perspective of what’s happening. In some ways, China’s recent moves against crypto miners may be a needed reset in the sector’s early days, particularly as it’s coming under the microscope for environmental impacts. Here’s my take (featured in Medium) on how we can look at other big, historical shifts in the corporate ethical zeitgeist, like green investing and increased focus on diversity initiatives, as a way to find investment opportunities in companies who are being strategic about answering those market needs.

HOMEE, my insurance claims servicing solution inno

HOMEE, my insurance claims servicing solution innovation, just blew away expectations in their most recent Series B-2 funding round. At $17 million, the round was over triple what they originally asked for. Clearly, I am not the only one who saw the potential in this startup. Details on their recent success at the link in bio..

“20%? 50%? It all depends what stage you’re at

“20%? 50%? It all depends what stage you’re at, but, if you’re giving up too much, too fast it can be a red flag to angel investors. My rule of thumb: at the pre-seed stage, up to 20% is high but not unreasonable considering the check size. Beyond that, it gets dicey, because you’ll need to sell more equity in later rounds, which can leave you too diluted, yielding too much control to the shareholders. As an early-stage founder, the smartest play is to only take the money you really need.” - Steve MacDonald
