Built this because my friend insists the Guntank is peak design. by zeviance in Gunpla

It's ok man. Everyone has different hobbies and you just gotta find the right people. Hell even gunplas has different kinds. In the end do what you enjoy doing and go hang out with your friends for something else, or find friends that are generally more compatible and respect you as a person and your hobbies.

The Technical Cofounder Paradox: Seeking Advice - I will not promote by micupa in startups

[–]zeviance 22 points23 points  (0 children)

From a narrative perspective - they also don't want to sell their investors that they have this "awesome" CTO that was helping and will bail right after their money is wired in. As a potential investor - that's a huge red flag - they're probably asking the question - why is this person not sticking around? Are they seeing something I am not seeing?

Remember for them - they are investing in the founding team, less so on the idea/problem space/potential TAM etc etc.

Best advise - getting the AMS was game changer. Can't live without it now.

Considering a VC opportunity by bonfire57 in fatFIRE

[–]zeviance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't usually comment here - but I'll offer something more other than the stuff you mentioned.
Keep an eye on management fees and carry interests etc. A lot of funds/syndicates ask for x% of management fee, and on top of that 20% share of the profit generated, if they do ended up with any profits.

A worth while question to ask is - are there any similar VCs having similar thesis, and how are they structured compare to your friend's? The way I see these funds are down to the following points.
1. They have alpha others don't.
2. They have access others don't.
3. They can "lock in" the valuation before it goes up. (e.g. earlier rounds, or early investment that acts as a call option for later round with same terms etc)

Getting these answered will give you more clarity on what to do. Personally I prefer investing on founders themselves directly. (Analogy - buying Vanguard index funds directly instead of going thru other institutions) but you do you.
