Highlights

CEO Tony Stubblebine makes Medium easy to root for - it's not often folks are open about how a restructuring works. Our firm held a small amount of Medium stock from an acquisition they made of a portfolio company, but as Tony says, it wasn't the restructuring that made our equity position challenged, it was everything previously done that the restructuring had to fix.

While we try not to be the ones to tell these stories publicly (especially in this case where we were really passive insignificant members of the cap table - although I do subscribe to medium and publish there), we enthusiastically endorse them getting shared. They help other founders expand their understanding of what happens, what is normal in startup building, etc. If all we do is train our minds on the content marketing version of outcomes and the outlier experiences, we reduce the chances for the 'average' startup to build a real business.

Thanks Tony for sharing and Alex Wilhelm for covering
