Such a great quote. Thanks for reminding me :)

My experience: Skip most of the talks (maybe only 1-2 per day). Spend time drinking coffee and bumping into random strangers. Then spend more time with people you found nice/intere…

Thank you!

Thanks. Great post! How would you divide a seed and/or A round between angels and VCs? Is there a perfect mix in your opinion or something you would be opportunistic about, dependi…

I have switched industry before and you kind of start from 0. What you are describing doesn't necessarily sound like an issue with the tech sector, but rather that you are a bit bu…

Looks great :)

You should read the onion pdf. It explains why the safe word would break the linguistic tool of parody. It is the initial/doubt in the readers the kind of „wait what???“-effect tha…
