本篇话题来自于近期特朗普和马斯克的撕 X 。 可能不会到微博上去写小作文，但是本质差不多。公司刚组建的时候，创始团队两个人爱的有多深沉， 内斗的时候两个人就骂的有多惨烈。 先给出我个人的结论：内斗基本不会有太好的结局，同时，也没有太好的解决办法，尤其是对投资人而 言。 有人问，企业创始团队内斗，是什么样子？我见过的内斗，差不多就是特朗普和马斯克这种样子。 不会太好结局的几个原因总结如下： 团队士气大受影响 这个士气不仅包括管理层，还包括中层员工。如果是初创公司，没太多员工，那么可以说，会影响几乎 所有员工的士气。 于是，可能就有分歧了。 初创公司本来就是前途还不明朗，也给不了特别高的薪资，一般是靠画饼 + 给员工股权或者期权，来 维持团队的稳定。 现在好了，创始团队都闹掰了，我作为员工，还怎么相信创始人给我画下的饼？饼如果实现不了，如果 企业发展不好，那我手里的股权或者期权也没啥太大价值了。 于是，我可能就默默打开猎聘或者 boss 直聘了。 公司业务大受影响 如果初创公司是：创始人分管战略和市场，联合创始人担任 CTO ，分管技术， 这种搭配如果出现问题，多半是二人对技术路线，对公司产品的规划，产生了分歧。 ...

我想分享一种我新发现的，初创公司融资新范式。 lp：limited partner，有限合伙人；gp：general partner，普通合伙人，通常也就是投资机构。 lp有资金，gp有对行业的理解和对项目的判断力，lp就把钱给gp，gp来管。和我们把钱给余额宝/蚂蚁， 蚂蚁买股票买债券，是类似的道理。 =============== 以上内容为第三方特约发布。以下内容来自小宋原创。 阿里集团在茅台股价150的时候，才能买。或者至少，阿里要和蚂蚁一样的价格买，而不能比我便宜。 为啥？因为阿里和比蚂蚁都是大集团，在我给蚂蚁支付着管理费的情况下，他们不应该来和我抢赚钱的 机会。 这还没完。还有一位自然人：蔡崇信，他是阿里的高管。他也可以有买茅台的机会，但是...他也不应该 买的价格比我便宜。 还是那个道理，蔡崇信有多少可以赚钱的机会？蔡崇信是阿里和蚂蚁的高管，我只是蚂蚁的理财产品 （余额宝）的一个小小的投资人，你跟我抢这个赚钱机会，合适么？ 写到这，我可以呼应一下投资行业，呼应一下本文的标题了。 如果有一家初创公司，公司注册的时候就有一家机构参与；第一轮是一家机构，第二轮是这家机构的 lp；第三轮才是完全市场化的 ...

啥事？反正 … 不是 pr 稿里说的那样。就挺有意思的。 （一）比较常见的几类 现在各企业融资成功，都会发个新闻稿，做个 pr （ public relations ）。 小宋我比较中二，看到这类新闻稿以后，经常喜欢去企查查等平台，看看具体怎么回事。 澄清：本文不是企查查的广哈。 然后呢，把企查查上的股东变动情况稍微分析，就能看到一些好玩的事。 最容易被看出来的，就是 左手倒右手 。 果不其然，再过几天，项目又官宣，总部迁往 XX 城市。 然后还有一种，也是我亲身经历过的： 基金投资期到期 。 最近某项目官宣融资，是老股东追加。我去查一下，发现追加投资的那个基金，距离成立时间正好 4 年， 21 年成立的。 大家都能明白，一级市场的基金，投资期大部分都是 4 年哈？说明啥呢，说明：这家机构的基金快到期 了，钱投不出去了，就从已投企业里巴拉巴拉，找还可以的，赶紧把钱花出去。 宁可加注到同一个企业，不分散投资，也不能把钱还给 lp 。 然后，还有一些业内人士基本都能理解的：融资分 ABCD 轮，如果字母不变，而是不断用 + 号，比如 今天 A 轮，半年后 A+ 轮，那么大概率是： 估值没涨 。 比如，同一家机构， ...

今天的文章，我删删改改了很多遍，一直在犹豫要不要写出来。 但这事太重要了，每个人都可能会遇到，还是决定写出来想和大家分享，希望大家看 完后 能都重视起来，引起警戒。 几天前，好友打来语音，说家里出了 事，想找我借点钱。 他说，不是不得已，自己是张不开这口的。主要是家里的老母亲突发心肌梗塞，砸了十几 万，人才好不容易从ICU中抢救回来。医生说，想保证今后的生命质量，还得做心脏搭桥才 行，至少要再付出几十万。 在我的印象里，他的 条件还可以，前几年买了房，按理说不至于到找别人开口借钱的地 步，这次主动开口，说明是真的遇到难处了。 后来才知道， 他在的公司年初解散了整个团队 ，没有进账不说，每个月还得还一大笔房贷、 养一大家子人。 如果做开颅手术，康复的几率也很小， 一百万花下去也不排除人财两空的结果。 朋友巨大的压力，我非常理解。 作为多年老友，我很想去帮助他，但心里又很纠结。 借钱吧，知道治病是个无底洞，还上这笔钱遥遥无期，自己手头也没那么宽裕。不借吧，心 里又实在是过意不去， 今天四处求钱的是他，明天可能就是我。 最后拧巴了半天，还是转了些块钱过去，想让自己内心好受点。 说实话，到现在我都没缓过来。 这些年也 ...
