Founders...

Investors are watching to see what you do right after they write the check.

Good founders get straight to work. They've got the rocket fuel, now they're launching.

Bad founders come back asking what to do next.

If you’re getting a check, it’s because an investor believes that you already know where you’re going.

They’re giving you fuel, not GPS directions.

Also... too much celebration is a red flag.

Pop some champagne, sure or in my case sparking apple juice. But then get back to building.
