Musings About Pre-money Valuation
Big Red Car here. Hope you are well. The sun is out and shining here in the ATX. Sunny and only in the mid-40s today. But, ahh, ain’t it grand.
So The Boss is talking to a few of his brilliant CEOs about a favorite topic — the derivation of pre-money value. Pre-money valuation indeed!

CEOs and the zone of safety
Big Red Car here, ya’ll. House sitter and I been having a damn wild time with The Boss in the Big Apple. [Do not tell The Boss but we’ve been cruising the ATX and the Hill Country and been down to San Antone to Mi Tierra for some real Tex Mex. Ahhhh, burp. Ooops, sorry.]

Board Duties — Handle With Care II
Big Red Car here. Wow, we had a very nice rain last night replete with lightning, thunder and wind. Ahhh, it was the best. We desperately need water to fill the area lakes. The lakes have been down a bit since 2011 but they are building back with the recent rains. In the last month, water levels are up almost four feet.
So today we finish up our discussion on the nature of Board duties. We began the discussion here <<<link, so check that prior post before launching into this one.

Achieving Work Life Balance in a Startup, You CAN Do It
Big Red Car here. Crisp cool morning in the ATX. It’s 45F looking for 75F later today. Ahh, on Earth as it is in Texas, ya’ll. Perhaps in Heaven as it is in Texas?
So, The Boss is talking to one of his brilliant CEOs and the CEO laments the difficulty of achieving balance in his life and work. It is a common refrain and The Boss has heard it before and will hear it again, I am sure. This is not a unique problem.

The C Level Employment Agreement — Managing the At Will Employee Relationship
Big Red Car here. Nice windy and cool day in the ATX. Kind of hard to figure what kind of day this is really going to be? We shall see. Cloudy with thunderstorms is what the Intellicast man says. Who really knows, it’s Texas.
So the Big Red Car gets an email — haha, the Big Red Car gets an email — from an Old Sport who asks:
“Hey, Big Red Car, this C Level Employment Agreement stuff is great for a CEO but what about us guys in the cubes? We ain’t chopped liver, we’re software engineers, SEO experts and the like. How do we get some diluted CEO love?”

Big Red Car and betraying a bit of IRS fatigue. The big question is really — who is running things in Washington, the District of Columbia and over at the Internal Revenue Service?
The answer, Old Sport, is NOBODY! Continue reading

Seeking the Company of Good Men
Big Red Car here. Well it will be a good day here in the ATX — 90F and the pattern leading to summer is upon us. But, hey, we love a bit of sunshine and warm weather now don’t we?
Because we can put the top down and run like a scalded dog out and about. Haha, Big Red Car, you are a hoot. To yourself anyway, Big Red Car.
