𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀: "Hard Fact You take a pain point universally accepted as a hard fact of life, and see that it’s merely a hard problem that your product solves for the customer. Your customers have resigned themselves to just living with the problem. They’re not urgently engaged with trying to solve it. The status quo is just how it is, and change doesn’t seem like an option. You upend how things are done with an unexpected approach: Facts can’t be changed—but problems can be solved. The challenge to overcome is force of habit. Customers will have to change their current behaviors, and inertia is powerful. You need an approach that’s novel enough, for a problem that matters enough, to be worth making a change."
like many things from Sequoia, a good read based on decades of experience https://lnkd.in/gqfVDx6f

Andreessen's 2011 manifesto sparked a surge in software startup enthusiasm. 🌟 Yet, valuation often overshadowed intrinsic value, leading to an overcapitalized VC landscape. 💸 Investors lack a common valuation vocabulary, conflating it with pricing and fund math. 📈 Valuation isn't just about pricing or fund math; it's a nuanced framework assessing risk and potential. 💡 #StartupValuation #VentureCapital https://lnkd.in/d2bU3DUm

The 3 key messages/extract from this article by Pitchbook 1: For the second straight year, VCs took in more cash from LPs than they returned in the form of distributions. 2. Speaks to the difficulty that GPs have had in liquidating their investments. 3. With LPs hitting the brakes on market participation and contributions to VC plummeting to an eight-year low, it could also signal diminished interest in generalist investing, with more of a hunger for specialized funds for areas like AI." What's your take #founders and would be #founders
