To paraphrase the wickedly wise Alex Roetter, ex $TWTR Chief Engineer, now Moxxie Ventures partner: “There are no silver bullets but many smart people, so the Board should not distract them.” Alex Roetter is the signal that cuts thru the noise on Elon Musk and Twitter.

“Climate change, social inequality, threats to our democracy, hunger, poverty, and forced migration. We have the technology and the innovation to help solve so many of these problems […] We must no longer talk about the actions but take them.” Let’s do more. #EarthDay2022

Inspiring to see a business leader follow through with his values. What would you do with @Patagonia if you were Yvon Chouinard? #ClimateEmergency #sustainablefashion nytimes.com/2022/09/14/cli…

Going camping with my son and am determined to be as happy as a bird with a french fry this weekend… despite already yearning for comfort of my bed.

Great to see pioneer Suzanne Biegel recognized and progress on #genderlens investing amplified and (hopefully) accelerated from here. #gendersmart davidbank #impactinvesting

Especially in the wake of #RoeOverturned we need leaders like Jen Klein Archived elevated in the #WhiteHouse and bringing a #genderlens to policy. As a friend & fangirl of this fantastic #woman, I couldn’t be happier to tweet positive political news for once! @WhiteHouseGPC

Yesterday I was privileged to spend the day with Girls Who Invest team and board. Their professionalism and dedication really deserves a shout-out. I hope in 15 yrs, my little lady will learn to invest with them. (For now she is focused on netting $1 from the tooth fairy tonight)

Last month, Australia passed a law to cut emissions 43% by 2030. Now, the Aussie state with one of the most carbon intensive energy supplies in the world has made a plan to completely move away from coal. We need to see action like this around the world! theguardian.com/australia-news…

“Less than 4% of VC funding in the United States goes to women,” she says. “And that figure is 3.5% in Senegal. Boy, those are really close percentages.” #gendergap apple.news/AobFVdI1KTmavC…
