A running list…
1. On Financing
- Seed Deals: How to Grow from Startup to Venture Capital by David Willbrand
- Y Combinator’s overview of the SAFE financing note (their invention) – link and see in particular the link to Safe User Guide.
- A Carta video series on the SAFE financing structure, including on Pre-Money versus Post-Money SAFEs.
2. On Pitching to Investors
- LinkedIn thread: “How can you optimize the length of your VC pitch deck?” Note that I stumbled on this through Antler’s Christopher Klink’s comment on how to think about the length and purpose of your pitch deck.
With a hat tip to the entrepreneurial spirit of John Collins, RIP.
