Dana Oshiro is a General Partner at Heavybit. Heavybit is a VC that invests exclusively in developer-first startups.

What we discuss:

• One sharp thing. Finding an addressable chunk of a bigger opportunity. 
  • Thinking big & small
  • Are 5 people seriously going to support our migration from DataDog? At Facebook you had a lot of support people/systems you're forgetting
  • Finding the sidedoor
• Stepping up as a founder
  • Fear of hitting up the people you respect.
  • Best founders build for themselves
  • Do founders get better at putting themselves out there?  
  • Speaking in front of people to make change - "there's a new approach. We deserve better!"
• Movements
  • DevOps & JamStack
  • Don't try to control the movement
  • Joining into other movements
