Can you say you have deep startup experience if you’ve only worked inside of a corporate venture studio?

The way I jumped out of bed at 2:30am and sprinted down the hall to check on my daughter thinking we got nuked by Russia, only to find out it was loud thunder, lightening and rain… 🤦🏽‍♀️ tells me 2 things: 1. I forgot how fast I can sprint 2. #Russia will never live this down

Trying to decide whether to encourage your daughter to play sports? 94 percent of women who hold C-suite level positions are former athletes.

An increase of 90% in extracting more contacts from our emails in comparison between @SigParser vs @HubSpot is MAJOR for data geeks like myself and sales & marketing experts everywhere! Huge Congrats to you and your team on developing a game changing platform @PaulDMendoza! 🙏🏽

Let's play a game everybody. I want you to close your eye and imagine an entrepreneur. Now close your eyes and imagine a different entrepreneur. Now do it 1 more time. Ok, did you imagine 3 white men? That's what bias and pattern matching looks like #vc #startup #diversity

#blkfounders - Ask for it all. A lot of our inboxes are swelling from people who either wrote us off in the past or see value in us now - both being opportunists. If you're getting "opportunities" to "partner" with these large corporations, remember your values AND your value.

The best investment of the past decade and likely a top ten return in VC history was made by a Latino immigrant (@ssubo) in Zoom. It was overlooked by everyone else. That’s what you get from hiring great people from diverse backgrounds folks. It’s not charity.

I was tired of talking about it, so I did something about it! One of my proudest moments thus far is seeing the results from our launch and empowering these amazing women of color to pursue their dreams and connect with some of the baddest in the industry!

A lot of my non-Black friends have reached out to me lately and I appreciate it. They've been asking what can/should they be doing. The change we need won't come from celebrities or mandates. You change the hearts of people at the dinner table, churches, and water coolers.

Let’s stop acting surprised and pretend systemic racism has never been an issue You’ve either been affected & understand it, complicit by turning the other cheek or ignorant due to a level of privilege My question still stands: What are you going to do to help us fight it?
