Hoy estuve en Barranco y vi el mural con mi familia. Es potente ver tremendo acto de resistencia contra el racismo. Ese es el camino.

Folks tonight!!!! If you affected by this sad SVB situation….

we'll still have the VentureCrushFG zoom tonight on legal questions re: SVB impact on startups and venture funds - we had hundreds of folks sign up (in < an hr) & know that we'll have a smaller crowd, but good to gather and round up questions...we'll answer what we can🙏

What choices would you make as an investor if you managed your abuelita's pension $?

I believe your decision making is your fund product.

This is one event I wish I could teleport to this week. If you are in #SFBay this is a must 👇🏽

I love when managers right size their LP base for their fund. They are laser focused on their audience and so intentional on how they raise. It is also easier to make intros because they have clarity on targets.

Life is short. Ppl you love and care about can be here one day and not the next. If one keeps that in perspective one may act and treat ppl around them very differently.

Lead w/ genuine compassion bc ppl remember how you make them feel

Congratulations Class28. Welcome to the family
