Id4 #123 Series A, ESOP & long term growth

Id4 #123 Series A, ESOP & long term growth
By Id4 ventures • Issue #123 • View online
Hi,
This week,
how to react to new ideas ( it reminds me the quote of Linda Rottenberg CEO of Endeavor : Crazy is a compliment) from Paul Graham
And a focus a long term: Series A, ESOP and long term growth
  1. Interesting take from Sophia Bendz on Series A fundraising
  2. Some light on ESOP from Tilman Langer at Point Nine, helping building a team motivated to help you succeed
  3. Jon Butterfield from Speedinvest will help you structure your grow plan and to paraphrase him : growth is a systematic and repeatable method to create a meaningful and sustainable business — not a one-trick pony growth hack to gain a few thousand more users.
  4. Which will tag along very well with Brian Amstrong’s twitter thread on the need for long term vision
On Id4 side, congrats to Afrikrea for bring a great e-commerce platform to support African creators to export worldwide.
Enjoy your week
The id4 Team.

9 years ago today, I founded Coinbase. One of the most important lessons I come back after all this time is long-term focus.
