- Why does ambition feel so lonely in Canada? - @harleyf says many ambitious founders feel forced to leave. -@tobi says Canada must overcome our "go for bronze" culture. - @andrewdsouza says in Canada, people ignore you until you succeed, then hate you once you do. The problem
- i just watched @boardyai help a founder get a term sheet in 48 hours. friday: boardy makes the intro. saturday: first call at 7am, partner meeting at 11 am. sunday: investment decision made. boardy just beat his own record (he got $8M in 3 days last year). this time, it took
- I’m getting flown out to SF in 4 days. But there’s a catch. I made a deal with @goswish and @andrewdsouza. If I can bring in 500 new users for @Boardy_ai during @Techweek_, they’ll cover the trip. If I can’t, I’ll have to pay. I don’t have anything planned, and I have no idea
- most people think it's cringe to post content. that's exactly why it works. here's what happened since I started posting on linkedin 2 months ago: - my first month alone, I hit a million impressions - grew from 1k to 5k followers - made hundreds of friends in the
- if you're ambitious, you should work at a startup at least once. at startups, you get to: -make decisions that actually impact the company -take ownership of problems no one’s solved before -learn how to prioritize when everything feels important -experience what true
- The riskiest decision I ever made wasn't risky at all. When I chose @boardyai over my insurance internship, I asked myself 4 questions: 1. What's the worst that can happen? (and can I handle it?) Learning more in 4 months than I would in years. That's not a downside. 2.
- 2.5 months later, i can confidently say I still agree with every word here.
- nobody talks about the sacrifices you make when you work at a startup. it's not just the long hours. it's everything else: -having to cancel plans with friends because something came up -your gym membership becoming a monthly donation -forgetting what hobbies you used to have
- We got @boardyai 3M impressions on LinkedIn and X in the last 2 weeks alone. Here's how: 1. We threw out our content calendar completely. Things are moving so fast right now that it's impossible to predict what the next day will look like. Now, I draft our content the nightI'm in disbelief right now. @boardyai is absolutely cooking. Since launching yesterday, over 500 investors managing over $1 trillion in capital have applied to work with us. We’ve now got some of the top investors in the world all in a Slack channel with us - getting a daily
00:00 - What’s the most rewarding thing you’ve ever done? Was it risky? I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. I still remember sitting on my floor, staring at my offer for a safe internship and wondering if I was about to make the wrong choice. Deep down, I knew it wasn’t what I
- everyone assumes you need to be in silicon valley to build something big. we're proving them wrong. yesterday, @andrewdsouza went on @tbpn to talk about how roughly 10% of all active fundraising is happening right now through @boardyai. in 2 weeks, over 5,000 founders raising
08:59Roughly 10% of active fundraising is happening right now through @boardyai. Two weeks ago, we launched a program to help 100 founders raise their round before the end of the year. Since then, 5,000 founders raising $16B signed up, along with 600 investors managing over $1T in
