Women & minorities receive 2% or less of VC funds & are overlooked at the pre-seed/seed stage. With the investment growth in later stages, all that money everyone is talking about is going to the same homogenous group of founders.

Founders often don't get to deliver the most important pitch for their startup: the 2-3 line summary that a VC uses to socialize the opportunity with their partners. Here's how to help them craft one that will resonate: /1

This summer, I put together a painfully detailed guide on First-time Fundraising for founders Check it out for real talk on deciding if VC is the right path, running a competitive process (esp if new to the ecosystem), and building a compelling deck laconiacapitalgroup.com/blog/firsttime…

Ajim said women need to see their differences as advantages. “When you get in a room and you are different people pay attention,” Ajim said. She wears a great outfit in a room with a bunch of people wearing suits and that stands out. @CFDiversity siliconhillsnews.com/2022/11/15/fem…

East African women are rising to the occasion to take daunting steps in Africa's tech ecosystem. We are so proud of how much they have and would achieve. Thanks you Wambui Karingithi for being among #EastAfrica's super women.

Black founders average 1% of all VC funding every year...yet we constantly see funds soliciting decks and "meetings". So y'all REALLY want to convince us that only 1% of black founders are investable but 85-90% of non POC founders are? Ummm....yeah ok. 😒

This founder journey is hard as hell and can often bring you to emotional and mental breaking points, and can be lonely at more times than we'd like to admit... so I pray for peace, strength, love, fortitude, and happiness for EVERY founder out there working on their dream.
