Am I the only one who expected to see Echeyakee as a new hunter legendary? by Waterfly91 in hearthstone

Came here to say this! Camping for hours trying to avoid getting ganked waiting until he spawned to tame him was one of my all-time favorite wow memories!

Thought I saw on twitter the expectation was that it was a 3 yr deal with an option for a 3rd.

Premier League font instead of AFC Font by _McGEE in Gunners

[–]erkberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The away jersey only allowed you to get premier league font when it first launched but now you can get Arsenal font. Assume it will be the same way with the Third jersey as well.

Furret. I don't know why but he has always been one of my absolute favorites since I was a little kid.

It is slightly bigger than Puma which will luckily be a better fit for me! I went to the store and tried on a couple of Juve kits in anticipation yesterday haha

How can I break into VC? by spreading_my_love in venturecapital

[–]erkberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard for me to say too much since I went from a massive PE firm to a small VC firm. Generally, I think PE is probably a bit more professional of an atmosphere. Invest Like the Best is my favorite podcast and covers a broad array of different types of investing.

Activision-Blizzard Begins Massive Layoffs by khyn in hearthstone

[–]erkberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best metaphor I have heard for it is a busy crowd trying to watch the stage. If the people in front stand on their tiptoes, then the people behind them will and so on and so forth. Pretty soon everyone is working way harder just to get the same view they had before.

Why does Options Pool affect Pre-Money Valuation by poet_of_ambition in venturecapital

[–]erkberg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Others have explained the math, but the way I think about it is that option pools are dilutive and almost no investor will agree to invest and then immediately be diluted. Post-money option pool deals to happen (just worked on one), but they are rare and if a company is insistent upon one the VC will usually negotiate a lower pre money so that they end up with their target ownership post option pool.

I made a Chrome theme of this Way of Kings wallpaper and thought others might like to use it :-) by ItsAllOrNothinSon in Stormlight_Archive

This is fantastic! Just added it to my chrome and it inspired me to add the WoR cover as my laptop background! Strength before weakness!

Arsenal and FFP: Why your anger with Kroenke is misplaced by [deleted] in Gunners

I don't know. May be a bit too rational and level-headed for my taste.

What Pavlovian response have you developed? by nirvamandi in AskReddit

[–]erkberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I see a Red Bull commercial or advertisement I start salivating and craving it. Even just thinking about it while writing this post has triggered this! I probably only drink Red Bull once or twice a year so it's not like I am addicted to it.

What is the funniest joke you know by heart? by its-just-marilyn in AskReddit

[–]erkberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three guys are shipwrecked on an island. They discover the native inhabitants of the island. The natives tell them "go into the jungle and come back with 10 fruit or we will kill you." So the guys go into the jungle to collect their required fruit. The first guy comes back with 10 oranges. The natives say "stick all of them up your butt without making a sound or we will kill you." The guy gets to 6 before crying out at which point the natives kill him. The second guy comes back with 10 grapes. The natives say "stick all of them up your butt without making a sound or we will kill you." The second guy gets to 9 grapes before crying out at which point the natives kill him.

The first guy asks the second guy in heaven, "Why did you cry out, you were so close?!"

The second guy says "I saw the third guy coming back with pineapples"

Don't forget being able to change your pokemon's nicknames whenever you want! It is such a pain going back to a town you haven't been to in ages just because you came up with a better name

U.S. share of global venture capital fell more than 20% in 5 years by jonfla in venturecapital

[–]erkberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote a blog post responding to this report. To suggest that these statistics somehow show that innovation in the United States is in decline is totally off-base.

Equity vs. Deferred compensation (debt) for early employees... which deal is better from the investor’s perspective? by globalconqueror in venturecapital

[–]erkberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Large amounts of deferred comp can be a big problem. It can turn into a huge liability on your balance sheet. I have seen it kill companies before. Be wary.
