#USMNT

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 16 years, since 9 Feb 2007 (via Twi Age 🥳).

Can’t really lose here! Both great communities that are working together to grow startups in Indiana. I say vote your conscious… so Bloomington.

2 time champs! Shout out to This Giddy Future with The Mill for spreading the word every single round! Also, sorry to friends about my mass txts.

It’s time to own our conversations. Ping me on Converse : getconverse.app/dm/trotzke.eth

Your 30 seconds of Zion zen for the day. Can you spot Betsy Trotzke (for scale) at :25?

Played Frelancers the board game tonight. All I can really say is that I am proudly Knee Deep, Goblin Dung Farmer, The Brutal, Box of Shit Killer, Fugitive, Assistant Manager, and Master Negotiator.

MX tequila tasting day 1. Shout out to Pete from Insolito and the Herrera family for the incredible hospitality and tequila.

Deep dive on The Mill and the excitement around Bloomington’s Trades District in this month’s Bloom Magazine. Check it out at magbloom.com

SNL did a sketch about Ticket to Ride. My life is complete.

Thrilled to have been selected for VC Lab's venture capital accelerator! The principles of ethical investing outlined in their Mensarius Oath are a big part of what got me excited them. Happy to take and support this pledge: govclab.com/2024/02/12/men…

Still thankful for United Airlines, Scott Dorsey and others work on a direct flight from IND to SFO. Early morning flight and back on the red eye tonight. Connecting with a few folks and attending a VC Lab event. It may be a 23hr day, but it wouldn’t be possible without it!

Bay Area friends: last minute trip to SF. Tied up in the evening but have some availability during the day today. If you’d like to catch up, ping me and I’ll come visit.

Congrats to first-generation Haitian American Kevin Celisca, #Mira2025 Emerging Tech Leader of the Year! He overcame adversity to found Integrate, helping teachers save time, improve instruction & boost transparency, while fostering a culture of growth & inclusion.

At the Global Entrepreneurship Congress today? Come see me say words about customer discovery, painted door testing, and a little Unfinished Business (a decade old movie I haven’t seen). Tuesday at 2pm. genglobal.org/gec/buy-or-lie… #GEC2025

Between #GEC2025 and the Pacers, it was a pretty epic week to be visiting Indy.

The vin diagram of people that find this as funny as I do might only be me.
