This. It's great to say you're not begging for a seat at the table, but making your own... now who gonna build it? Where's the wood? Anybody got a hammer?? Because we're not making tables out of air. Building @blacktravelbox ain't cheap.

@katelin_cruse @sevensevensix @poppyseedhealth @ElektraHealth @aavia_io My advice to founders looking to build a billion-dollar business: Find market segments that have been notoriously underserved. Figure out what problems need to be solved. Build solutions. Scale them.
Sometimes you find the problem by experiencing the problem. That's the story for @Orion_Helana and @blacktravelbox who founded her travel beauty company after a wild experience with hotel shampoos. The whole episode is out now: youtube.com/watch?v=GfzFP-…
💪 One of the biggest takeaways from my conversation with Orionbrown @blacktravelbox was the importance of perseverance and adaptability in entrepreneurship. She faced challenges but she never gave up. 💪 thecorelinksolution.com/thecorelinksol… #entrepreneurship #business #leadershipdevelopment
I cant believe we’re still having this conversation. #changethegame
When I started @soonastudios - I approached 27 banks for a line of credit and credit card. I received not one offer despite running a profitable, multimillion dollar business for 7 years prior. Then we got into @Techstars and @SVB_Financial stepped in to help us get started.
At our #CES2023 Leaders in Technology Dinner, @CTATech announced two new funds we’re investing in, @zaneventurefund and @KaporCapital. Both funds are ensuring we have a more diverse & responsive entrepreneurial ecosystem. #diversityintech bit.ly/3GtCmGz

As a pre-seed investor I go back and forth if the target market size really matters? Between pivots and going after markets that don’t exist yet, it hasn’t mattered for my best performing portfolio companies.
It doesn’t get talked about enough that founders are not just founders. On top of building, fundraising, hiring, firing, selling etc, we are going through break ups, helping aging parents, raising kids, trying to be good friends and so on. It’s a LOT and today I’m a lil tired.
Sometimes you think you're in a crisis, but you're really in the middle of a miracle. 💯🙏🏽
Dear Feds... find this LP and destroy them. They are pricing private securities based on Race. This should offend you if you are a Liberal, or a Conservative.
Black founders can’t get a 500k line of credit whilst doing 5mm in revenue …. Meanwhile… Real question, why can’t I talk to these folks who give out no verification 140mm loans?? Where are these people??

Tech Companies Are Quietly Defunding Diversity Pledges And Industry Layoffs Are Hitting Black And Brown Workers Hardest—Experts Say The Message Is Clear - Essence essence.com/news/money-car…
We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones. Certainty is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for thinking deeply. It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.

"Maybe, just maybe, there are some billion-dollar companies to be built serving this market." — @katelin_cruse to me Duh. 🤦♂️ Since then, @sevensevensix has found great investments across every stage in a women's healthcare journey, including ⤵️
Then, the reality: Women deal with a healthcare market still largely designed & built by men, causing a massive disconnect between what they want & what options they have.
First, the facts: • Half the population are women • Women have specific healthcare needs • Women control 80%+ of healthcare spending decisions
If you're an early-stage investor looking for growth potential – look to women's health. Why? @katelin_cruse broke it down ↓
Our best-selling Compass is now on 15% off
Now multiply this by a thousand things. Women carry a disproportionate amount of the mental load/invisible labor in families. Doing the task is not enough. My dad calling me every 2-3 months and telling me to get my oil changed means he is still carrying the responsibility! /5
