Before I was a VC, one of my first angel investments went up 150x quickly. On paper it was my most valuable asset BY FAR. I never had a chance to sell. Sequoia & other great VCs were investors. Then it went to ZERO. For a newbie, it was an incredible lesson in startup investing.

It seems everyone on twitter now thinks if you don’t have 70%+ gross margins your business model is broken. fyi: many of the largest companies in the world are high revenue, low gm businesses. Eg., Walmart has a $340bn mkt cap and 25% gross margins. Costco $130bn with 13%.

If you’re hiring:Please don’t reach the conclusion that when a company lets 25%+ of their company go (Covid), the cuts are low performers. Many CEOs think the best folks will be retained no matter what. Not the case. Plenty of A+ folks getting cut due to drastic business changes
