Most Founders Don’t Need VC: Lessons from Buyback Ventures
The mistake is believing that if you’re not chasing unicorn status, you’re not building something worthwhile.

Jay x.com/interview_qu... does a great job of outlining how we got here and where we're going with venture capital. The model needs to evolve and opportunities need to be aligned for founders building great companies. #seedstrapping #funding #bootstrapper

Why are founders REJECTING venture capital?
In this video, I explore how venture capital has fundamentally changed. After decades of fueling tech innovation, the entire model is being questioned. Is this just another boom-bust cycle, or is…

some confusing terms in fundraising lately. for the uneducated, seedstrapping refers to bootstrapped companies in the climate tech space

bootscaling is acquiring a small new england leather shoe manufacturer and growing the business

hope this helps!

In places like Tashkent or Almaty, founders raise $100-300K, build real stuff, and skip the unicorn fairytales. It's called seedstrapping. Less hype, more hustle.

Venture capital markets are generally collapsing, so we revisit the effectiveness (or really lack) of VC dollars. I wrote a bit about "seewstrapping" and whether that strategy is right for founders (almost always) and VCs (almost always, but "we" don't know how). www.royalstreet.vc/seedstrapping/

Seedstrapping is all the rage right now. Comes up in many conversations around VC.

I’ve spent eight long years helping women access capital. Can you imagine what would happen if they suddenly didn't need to?

...I believe we're about to find out.
