I cannot recommend it enough for people in the technology or media sectors. They see it as a source of differentiation for them as a company because their less financed competitors can’t afford it (and often their careers are wrapped up in the multi-millions of dollars they’ve spent implementing it).

Clearly a startup should consult its lawyer before filing or not filing.But the attorneys I relied on to write this piece told me that they’ve done lots of Section 4(2) deals in the past, and would recommend it to clients who had relatively simple financing agreements (not tranched-out, not too many investors, etc.) Short answer: no.

And so it happened that between 2000-2008 I was the biggest buzz kill at dinner parties. That would mean that the increased number of new business startups will lead to a “funding gap&# of deals that can’t get financed. I’m looking at how the digital living room will change media consumption.

Gen Z VCs have raised funds, garnered social media followings and profited from the Gen Z mentality. Sure, most of us grew up in an age of technology, but we didn’t all grow up in an age of social media. Most importantly, though, I got my first social media account on the day I turned 13. Myself included. Good for them.

If it sounds odd that a Series B would be so much smaller than the Series A, that’s in part because that previous round was a mix of debt and equity: the company had raised very little since being founded in 2000 and was profitable. That is driving a market for more software automation, to take out some of the busy work.

THE ORIGIN I was the Founder & CEO of InboxDollars from 2000 to 2019. It made sense because a common playbook for consumer-facing startups was to build the product, prove PMF, raise capital from investors, and then deploy some/much/most of that capital in paid media to grow quickly. A lot of new things.

Startups pursuing consumer finance have popped recently, not driven by Bitcoin, but by a wave of founders bringing more sophisticated financial tools to the masses. Surprisingly, media companies spiked this year, driven by a Twitch for X phenomenon. Last the decline of social media investment is consistent with the rest of the market.

Sure, when WP Engine launches a new product, the marketing department needs predictability for the launch date, but that’s because it’s a highly-skilled, well-funded group, which explodes with press, events, campaigns, social media, and newsletters, grabbing more attention in a single week than a smaller company might garner in a year.

The move came as a shock to many in the tech business community, in which we’ve become accustomed to real-time disclosure by company executives through social media. In 2000, the SEC adopted Regulation FD in response to growing concerns regarding “ selective disclosure.” What could be wrong with more transparency?
