Cheers to being different ❤️✨🙌

I just heard of two founders who recently took their lives, at least one because their startup was failing. 😢

Starting a company is hard…and mental health is a real thing we should talk more about. 🙏 reach out to someone if you need help.

Sending everyone good energy. ✨

did you know only 10%* of VC partners are women?

thanks to the LPs who back women & under-represented VCs!! you are the check writers who fund the check writers who invest in diverse founders at 2-3x the average rate.

happy women's day! 💟

*world population = 50% women

I just saw this stat....

Women are responsible for 64% of charitable giving.

I wish we could push some of that charitable giving into INVESTING!

Was just charged $90 by my attorney to send an executed copy of a doc I requested.

$90. LOL. Took their admin 20 minutes per the bill. Can you imagine if VCs charged people $90 every time we had to send a document????? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Bring on the AI - time to disrupt the lawyers.

Below is a response I sent to a VC who referred a deal to me. The time since a startup's launch & amount of capital raised to date definitely matters.

Thanks for thinking of me! Sounds very interesting. QQ - have they been working on the company for 3+ yrs? It looks like that…

Two years later and he still loves to be right next to his big brother!!

Happy gotcha day Murphy! ❤️

📢want to follow more women in VC?
if so, check out Jason's list! 👇

We just had an investor pass on a deal because the leadership team had no women or people of color.

✨Diversity at the executive level is critical!✨

Founders should start thinking about this early on.

FOUNDERS: When in due diligence, you can ask a VC to take notes on any customer reference calls and then share those with other VCs who are considering the round. Protecting your customer's time is important especially when all VCs will want to get direct customer feedback!

Just learned that only 15% of BTC buyers are women. This stat is not too far off from what we see in angel & VC investing.

How can we get more women to invest in general???

Just met with a very talented person who feels she has to do things for free as she has a lot to prove still.

My advice - you have nothing to prove, but you do need to start charging *today* for the value you are adding *today* ✨💸

We invest in founders that have:

💟Passion for and experience in the problem they're solving

🚀A big vision and early indications that they can execute on this vision

🔢An understanding of how data will create proprietary value for their biz

🏅Coachability & resourcefulness
