Founders: Fundraising is a game. Those who play it better, win. Think like a VC. Don't overcomplicate fundraising. Instead, try to get inside a VC's mind. Memos are the blueprint to VC investment decisions. Inside the memos are the benefits and risks of investing in a startup. If you know what's inside the memos, you can: - Highlight the positives - Mitigate the risks - Tell a better story Check out the Shopify investment memo from October 2010 crafted by Bessemer Venture Partners to see a great example memo. Curious to know what the components are of an early stage VC memo? Everything you need to know here: nicdetommaso.beehiiv.com/p/what-s-insid… --- If you're looking to write memos and invest in startups with your peers, consider using Verivend as your platform to collect and invest funds. Think of it as your "venmo" for startup investing with peers. DM me or sign up for a demo here: verivend.com/vcdemystified?… ♻️ Repost to help someone in your network.

Heard this on TikTok the other day and it really stuck with me: "If life were all about the destination, it would be called death." Maybe you're not exactly where you thought you were be, but it's all part of the journey. Enjoy it.

Going through a tough season rn, but I believe something good is coming. For me AND for you. 🌱✨ Who’d guess a GloRilla song would preach to me? 😂🙏

Was at the gym getting my pump on, vibing to Glo ft. Cardi: “ain’t worried about my credit score, I might be rich af tomorrow.” Then on the treadmill, a podcast drops Matthew 6:26: the birds don’t stress about tomorrow.

Lesson unlearned = lesson repeated. Ask yourself: What is this season here to teach you? Every cycle has a purpose… are you paying attention?

99% of ppl in VC interviews can’t explain how money actually flows thru a fund. Here’s the 3-min version that will put you in the top 1%. Most people think it’s simple: VCs raise money → invest in startups → make returns. But here’s how it actually works 👇 1. Limited Partners (LPs) - pension funds, endowments, family offices commit capital. 2. The General Partners (GPs) also commit their own money (usually ~1–2% of the fund). 3. Capital isn’t wired upfront - the fund makes capital calls over time as investments are made. 4. The fund (not the firm) owns equity in startups. 5. When there’s an exit, proceeds flow back into the fund. 6. First, LPs get their capital back + preferred return. 7. After that, GPs earn carry (their share of profits). And that’s the simplified version. In practice, you also have: - Multiple funds running in parallel, each with unique terms - Recycling of capital for follow-on investments - Complicated waterfall models for distributions - Ownership tracked across dozens of companies That’s why most firms lean on tools to keep it all clean. Without them, it’s spreadsheets on spreadsheets. I partnered with Verivend to help folks thinking about starting a fund do all these tasks more seamlessly. If I were to start a fund, this would be my go-to resource: verivend.com/?utm_source=VC… Image source: DealRoom

The only way you lose is if you quit. Keep screaming into the abyss until someone hears you. No one’s an overnight success.

So many kids today carry the weight of pressure; whether it’s from social media, school, or even well-meaning parents. They’re so hard on themselves, afraid of messing up. But mistakes aren’t failures; they’re stepping stones. Every stumble is a chance to grow stronger.

I made it my mission to show Buddy mistakes aren’t the end, they’re how we grow. I’d tell him, “pressure makes diamonds.” That spark became the heart of my book.

Exciting news friends!!! I just published my first children’s book The Little Fiery Coal! Cole feels like he can’t do anything right… until he learns even diamonds start out rough. 💎✨ Now available on Amazon: a.co/d/d73pl77

I kinda realized that life’s the same: we race to keep up, afraid to fall behind, but it’s in the slowdowns where we breathe, gather ourselves, and prepare for what’s ahead.

Driving back from San Fran today, I got anxious trying to keep up with cars speeding past me. But closer to home, traffic slowed and I felt relief. The thing every driver hates actually gave me peace.
