This is pretty much my ideal flow, except I write them up in Notion.

How did you test your initial HTML templates to make sure they worked in every client?

I've spoken about this before here but Attio has already proven game changing for a lot of VCs, both big and small.

Your network is your greatest asset when it comes to VC and there are few tools as…

+1 for Carrd. Very very easy to get a simple landing page up and their pricing is so generous I almost feel bad about it

I love Soft Murmur. It lets you create a custom mix from relaxing sounds like rain, coffee shops, fire, and the sea.

Well if a16z has it then it must be worth signing up for early access ;)

Totally! We've had loads of interest from other VCs looking for a way to keep all of their deal flow and relationships in one place. We're going to be onboarding a new wave of users in the next few…
