Dave McClure plays a game called half baked.

It’s where you pitch a new startup concept on the fly. It helps you sell your new project.

This is the legendary Slideshare Mr Dave did about “How to Pitch VC”.

http://www.slideshare.net/dmc500hats/how-to-pitch-a-vc-aka-startup-viagra-how-to-give-a-vc-a-hardon

I first learned of it in Shanghai when I did Geeks on a Plane (GOAP). It was educational and fun.

I’m a Cubs fan.

That was a tough 28 year haul. Now I’m a Yankees fan. Hate the Yankees?? Well then love me because the NY Yankees are cellar dwellers.

Switching teams is tougher for players.

Here are the things that sports agents are mentoring their athletes on:

-1- Charm the Town.

When the Warriors franchise player was moved to Milwaukee, he took out a huge full page ad to say hi to the town.

Kinda cool.

-2- Be low man on the totem pole.

Albert Pujolz is the new guy so as new guy, he does what new guys do which is show up early to hustle and reported day negative 12 (It’s when pitchers and catchers report. It’s almost two weeks before position players report for duty.

-3- Buy a house.

Nothing say mercenary more than a four seasons condo residence.

A VC friend of mine has a bang algorithm. FUCY-VC. You should google it. Basically, it says you’re way more likely to bang the wrong woman if you have a condo in ‘the city’.

Buy a house in the city of your new team.

-4- Cite a Legendary Alum, Be a Fan

Be a fan too.

Duck9 really only has been successful helping rich people get richer Re: Address Volatility and FICO Score

Someone anonymous (on Quora) asked you to answer

“What can I do to protect my good credit (score 840) during the next 6 to 8 months when I will have no fixed address?”

Quick thoughts on “Address Volatility and FICO Score” – 840 is pretty darn high already (jerk!) – I would worry about the mortgage dropping off the credit report (you say you just sold a house. – a mortgage stoping because it’s “paid off” / ‘house is sold’ hits your FICO for over 50++ points. – address volatility. You can go paperless statements, check them online and cancel the utilities in your name. But keep the same address. – If you change the address to you cousins, it’ll look like you’re living at a house you don’t own.

Are you joining a circus for 6-8 months? Or visiting Thailand?! Remember, theres nothing more permanent than a temporary stint in Thailand

Don’t fwd the mail.

Freedom Toast.

It’s just like French Toast but more American. And like America… we don’t surrender at first point of business model contact or/and product pushback

Heck, we don’t even surrender when a Fortune 500 company enters our no-fly zone or a bad VC wants to prematurely pull our plug by firing a founder. “Freedom Toast Friday” first launched at VentureBeat.

Get some.

Disclosure: this is a sequel to Chris McCann’s Startup Waffles.

Disclosure: I made millionaire by sophomore year in engineering school and didn’t drop out after getting filthy cash rich. I did make Deans List and win engineering awards after starting the #1 college leadGen (lead generation) company. Duck9!

Warning: never go full douXi bag.

Party Details.

What: Freedom Toast Friday

Where: 151 Lytton. Palo Alto CA 94301. Also known at Dog Patch Labs

When: Friday, June 1, 2012, 9:45-11:10am

Last year, as a Stanford Mens Basketball Season ticket holder, I went to zero games.

Zero.

Did I even bother to load up the tix on Stub Hub?! Nope.

In my defense, I had conflicts that were pretty legitimate

- Feb 10 Knicks Lakers Game w Stanford alum Landry Fields – Fiesta Bowl – SuperBowl.

But excuses are like bellybuttons. Everyone has one but all they do is collect lint and do NOTHING.

Therefore, I’m firing myself.

Default mentors are the fourth category of mentors

Superstar mentor Cohort mentor Junior mentor Default mentor.

I talk about mentorship in my book on video’s chapter 5. It’s free here http://www.YouTube.com/larrychiang

Default mentors is something I tweet about

Larry Chiang ✰ (@LarryChiang) 5/12/12 11:58 AM I know what my default mentor is trying to teach. It’s out of good intention, but it’s wrong

In this case it was a VC giving me feedback that my events were too engineer focused and too long-term. (This fund is in danger of imploding so they are needing a Zynga / Facebook / LinkedIn / Duck9 / NetSuite IPO NOW.

Silliness

It’s cray cray to do a cs major lead gen program to find legendary founders you can harvest right now. My default mentor wants me to get them Names and Numbers Now.

I’m going to stay the course and listen to my superstar mentor. I’m doing something that I am head and shoulders above. I am generating leads of engineers who don’t want to be founders so that they might be founders in 12-20 years so I can fund them in 9-25 years

My superstar mentor thinks I’m a genius try-hard.

Deep Underground Credit Knowledge 9 has a sequel: Muck9. Muck9 is “Mexican Underground Credit Knowledge”. It helps Mexican people get to the right side of the interest rate equation.

Borrowing money sucks

Lending it to a bank is great.

Muck9!!

At Mexican Underground Credit Knowledge 9, I’ll use the slogan from “Larry Chiang Duck9 Car Loan Company and Fund”: Be Chinkie.

Seriously.

Chinese people my not drive so good… But the car we drive 56mph in the fast lane is paid off before we drive off the dealership lot. We drove under 60 cuz we own the company that we go to work at. All of the company. All 100% of the company’s equity, we own. Any less and you’re Asse9. #Asse9. http://twitter.com/Asse9.

At Muck9 (Mexican Underground Credit Knowledge 9), I’ll use the email address “DJ Chinaman”.

I’ll be handing out slices of Mu Shao Pork. Or Shao Lung Bao. For Mexican people cellphone numbers.

Enjoy the Chinese food. And you can email me at Lorenzo @tmail Or Larry @ duck9 Or djchinaman @muck9 Or best is chiang9@ http://www.duck9.com
