Your attention is venture capital. You only have so much to invest. And every "yes" to a meeting, message, or idea is equity you're giving away. Most of us are over-diluted. Spread across 12 half-priorities, 30 Slack threads, and 6 "quick calls." The best founders I know protect their cap table. They say no to good ideas so they can say yes to the right one. Not because they're ruthless. Because they know: focus isn't about discipline. It's about survival. #FounderMindset #DeepWork #PriorityManagement

💡 𝐈𝐧 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥, “𝐍𝐨” 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 “𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐘𝐞𝐭.” We’ve seen founders give up after one polite rejection — but timing, positioning, and investor readiness often matter more than the idea itself. Sometimes, the deck was right. The market wasn’t. Sometimes, the investor loved it — but their LPs didn’t. At Phoenix VC Solutions, our job is to turn “Not yet” into “Let’s talk again.” Because 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 consistency — not desperation. 🔥 “The deal isn’t dead until the story stops evolving.” #PhoenixVC #InvestorRelations #VentureCapital #StartupFunding #Persistence #CapitalFormation

Authenticity is one of the most undervalued assets in venture capital. Too many founders hear what investors think they want to hear instead of the truth. Transparency builds trust. A tough conversation about metrics or a hard “no” on funding is better than false enthusiasm that wastes time. Clarity is what allows founders to move forward. Founders deserve more than capital. They deserve partners who show up with honesty, consistency, and respect, especially when the answers are not easy.

Looking forward to sharing my thoughts next week at #Endurance28AGM on how today’s venture market dynamics are influencing where and how capital is being deployed — and why focus, clarity, and disciplined investment and portfolio construction are proving more durable than scale alone. At Endurance28, we apply a clear, disciplined approach anchored in conviction and deep founder alignment. I’ll walk through how that discipline translates into stronger portfolio performance, efficient capital deployment, and the potential for outsized returns driven by consistency and execution.

Latest YouTube video is live! I went behind the scenes with Hustle Fund, an early-stage VC firm… being run out of a garage in Silicon Valley. I sat down with co-founder Eric Bahn to talk about what most founders get wrong about venture capital, and what really makes investors write checks. This one’s full of takeaways for anyone navigating the early-stage of a company or thinking about raising. Eric Bahn thank you so much for allowing me into your home for the day to capture most importantly… your killer workout 🔥. You guys are operating like no other VC I’ve met!

During Expand North Star , our CEO and co-founder Igor Kaloshin led a roundtable on how angel investors can bridge markets and support founders building truly global companies. At AngelsDeck, we see more investors expanding beyond their home markets, driven not just by capital efficiency, but by shared values, complementary expertise, and trust. That’s where meaningful growth happens. The discussion showed that global collaboration isn’t about scale for its own sake, it’s about creating smarter ecosystems where innovation and capital circulate freely. #ExpandNorthStar #AngelInvesting #GlobalInvestors #VentureCapital #CrossBorderInvestment #AngelsDeck
