Trying to figure out if I should reengage with #Twitter. What do you want to bet that no one noticed I was gone.

A #VentureCapital person asked a #startup CEO I know how he would get to a valuation of $20b. Stupid question. Only 15 Unicorns out of over 1,000 have that sort of valuation. Asking stupid questions like that just confuses a #startup #Entrepreneur

I believe I once had this working for Charles Plant and we created a funny sign for him "No New Ideas" to give us space until we had at least a couple weeks on the first batch. Now I'm probably the same and have to hold back to focus. #Entrepreneurs with too many ideas need to #focus.
