The latest episode of Three Course Founders is a fun one with my good friend Marty Ringlein. The thing about Marty, that anyone who spends time with him will surely understand, is that he's a tinkerer. It probably goes back to his design roots, which then led to 3x founder journeys (and exits). You can see it with his 4th and latest venture, Agree.com – any given day, he might be posting a clip from a podcast he's done, editing a social image with a new tagline that just popped in his head, or finding a new and novel way to continuously poke at his legacy competitors in the e-signature space. It's probably why he's been able to invest (pretty successfully) through Adventure Fund all while being the many-time founder that he is. He's playing with ideas in other industries, he's jamming with others, and his product and design brain is going off on a daily – probably hourly – basis. It's something I relate to pretty intensely! And so over three courses of conversation about foundership + leadership, fintech, and AI disruption, we're constantly tinkering. It's meandering, it's at times random, but more than anything, it's a great distillation of what it takes to build something truly meaningful in the early stage. I think you'll enjoy it. I know I did!

In developing your model, there’s no need for crystal balls or tea leaves, just a well founded business plan and clear, achievable goals. Investors aren’t looking for results that perfectly line up with initial projections; they’re seeking evidence of progress, adaptability, and the sound judgment to make course corrections when needed. Strong business models demonstrate a commitment to learning and evolving in response to real-world dynamics. Keep your focus on growth and agility, and let the journey of improvement speak to your vision.

A common question I ask founders on my podcast is how they are navigating fundraising and the current VC market reset. The successful ones are aligning with key principles also mentioned in the Technical.ly article (link in the comment): 1️⃣ Focus on Business Goals: Prioritize sustainable growth and profitability over rapid expansion. 2️⃣ Leverage AI: Use AI for operational efficiency and better decision-making. 3️⃣ Foster Strong Relationships: Build genuine connections rather than financial dependence. 4️⃣ Embrace Intellectual Honesty and Kindness: These traits are crucial for long-term success. #Startups #Entrepreneurship #VentureCapital

If Founder Mode was a podcast this would be it. Most podcasts you listen to are full of corporate jargon and BS. This is something else with Eoghan McCabe. 💥 Why early stage is f****d 🤯 Why companies building in-house SaaS with AI are crazy 💰 Why Bill Gurley is wrong on companies needing to go public 🇺🇲 Why Trump is the candidate promoting freedom My 7 key takeaways from Eoghan 👇 1. AI Companies Revenues Are Growing Fast - The average time it took SaaS companies to reach $30M ARR was 4-5 years. - AI companies take less than 2 years. 2. Most AI Investments will not do better than the S&P 500 - We are still in the early days of AI & there is a lot of noise. - Your job as an investor is to filter out the noise. 3. Why It Is Nuts to Think Companies Will Build Their Own SaaS Tools With AI - It’s a terrible f**king idea, like building your own SaaS workflow. - Fin went through 100+ experiments with 30+ ML scientists, and 100+ engineers alone. - There is so much more depth to this, you can’t build a highly performant AI agent on the side. 4. Why Gurley Is Wrong and More Companies Do Not Need to Go Public - VCs want liquidity. - Founders have a different mission & time horizon. - All the regulation & compliance just gets in the way of building a generational company. 5. Professional CEO vs Founder CEO - Professional CEOs run things by consensus. - Founder CEOs run things by conviction. - Greatness will not come from doing things through a communist approach. 6. All Founders Are Unbalanced - No person in a grounded & loving community decides to start a tech company. - Founders all have big chips on their shoulders & much to prove. - That’s what gives us our edge. 7. Why Now Is the Time to Be Political - Western governments are impinging on freedom of speech & entrepreneurial freedom. - They are starting wars between nuclear powers. - It is important for humanity.
