Do you mean investors like Dave McClure who write in all lower case? Or investors like Matt Coffin, who writes his "you" with a u, even in public posts? Just trying to get a little clarification here. And, to answer your question, more than a dozen investors have thought, "Let me sign this convertible note."
- rhizome 16y agoIt just sounds like a muddled thought process to me. Sorry man, nothing personal, it was actually a self-deprecating comment. You don't have to wave your checkbook around about it.
- ascendant 16y agoJust because they're investors doesn't mean they're off the hook for writing like crap. Having a lot of money isn't a free pass for mangling the English language.
- davemc500hats 16y agoneither does it mean they're awesome if they use perfect punctuation and grammar. some optimize for speed & utility... others optimize for look & feel. neither is necessarily correct, just different.
- ascendant 16y agoNo, but in general someone who takes the time to think and speak in complete sentences appears to be more thoughtful and thorough. I don't know about you but all other factors aside, I'd be more comfortable handing away a portion of my company to someone who says "I look forward to working with you" as opposed to "lol u and i will do gewd <3"
- rhizome 16y agoWhy should we assume that this writing style is evidence of optimization rather than plain skill?
