The Mallick View
Evidence-led perspectives on fundraising, private capital and the choices that shape a founder's outcome.
Founders should plan option pools as a role-and-cash system, not a slogan. Forecast roles, model grants, control approvals and valuation, explain tax, and review refreshes on a set cadence.
Read articleGallup says only 20% of employees were engaged in 2025, while manager engagement fell to 22%. Founders who want culture to scale need a manager operating system, not another values workshop.
Read articleAngel investors should set a portfolio system before saying yes. Define breadth, check size, follow-on reserves, diligence depth, and review rules so follow-ons are decisions from a plan, not gut reactions.

Read articleBooked sales that arrive after payroll, suppliers and taxes are not growth assets. Founders must treat payment terms and collection risk as an implicit financing cost and measure the working-capital gap.
