4/ In exchange for my sweat equity, I negotiated some advisor shares, which I could purchase generally for just a few dollars (these were super early companies, exercising was cheap). Advisor agreements are pretty standard, I recommend the FAST: fi.co/fast

We are proud to announce our new legal template EASE!
If you are looking to work with a developer or designer and want to offer them equity instead of cash then you can use the EASE template to streamline the process.

Perception: "Startup valuations are dropping like crazy"
Reality: Late-stage startup valuations are dropping
Angel-stage startup valuations are stable, as they typically are.
Seed-stage startup valuations are rising.
It is still a great time to launch a startup 💪

NFX implosion makes me sad—not bc of stupid crypto, I’m a near nocoiner, long believed 80%+ sector is grift—but bc SBF political donations aside, he was the most prominent entrepreneur in the EA movement & repetitional damage by association sucks, having a fraud/fool as posterboy

Thought Bombs from my panel today with @roelofbotha
"VCs should be a shock absorber not a amplifier" Moderate the amplitude in both up and down markets.
His biggest "learning" as a VC. Let your winners ride. Selling too early is bad for truly great companies (Paypal, square)

🌟 @RoelofBotha of @Sequoia Capital LIVE NOW on #VentureTrailblazers:
"We're not really prescriptive about WHERE the ideas come from—it's really about the quality of the #founder and problem that they're solving."

'Good investors are shock absorbers, not amplifiers. They support founders during the down times, and temper their enthusiasm in the high times' - paraphrased from @roelofbotha of @sequoia on Venture Trailblazers
