The secret of investing

Newsletter

HELP! Where do I invest my money?? This sounds really pathetic for someone working in a Venture Capital firm but hey, we're all about keeping it real here. It's not that I don't know whatsup, it's just that I've always had a tough time "making up my mind" and yes I'm also easily swayed by people and their opinions.

Challenges of remote hiring

Recruiting from a pool of global talent from the perspective of a remote-first company. Technology is often a hindrance in hiring, make sure to account for that.

Planning Ahead

“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!” Benjamin Franklin It’s easy to spot people who are zooming through life without a plan. Every day is an assortment of scattered thoughts and actions that often leave them living life in a circular motion. There is movement, but it doesn’t account for much as […]

Common project management disasters to avoid

Khem Oco

Projects on their own have different features and ideas that get pushed into releases each week, ideally. Teams on another hand, work on their target goals per week, and individuals under it want to achieve something on a daily basis. In between this repetitive course, we encounter some hard blocks that put a project or team to a test. A project’s survivability depends on how resilient we are in dealing with issues and reflecting on what needs to be improved for a better next release week.

The startup grind

Usman Sheikh

The part of the startup journey where the excitement of those initial honeymoon months start to collide with the realities of life and inertia. I remember the first time I experienced this feeling. It was after launching my first tech product, and the launch went well. We exceeded the number of initial users and thought it was only a matter of time until VC’s would coming rushing to our door. Unfortunately, after that initial spurt, we got hit with churn issues, difficulty acquiring new customers, inability to attract the right team members, and every day seemed to bring a new problem.

TikTok on the clock ⌚️

I just got an email informing me that my Magoosh GMAT account has expired... Oops. But that brings me to a very important question: to MBA or to NBA? How many employers today really care if you're part of the Stanford Graduate School of Business (ok just saying that sounds alluring lol). This article by Forbes assures me that my decision to *stall* the MBA isn't too bad. Especially in the startup world, who really cares if you studied or didn't. On the other side of the table, however, some venture capitalists still find you shinier if you're a grad from a top MBA school. Musk the menace thinks it’s an over valued degree that has decreasing relevance in the world we live in today.
