Today I started with an equity management startup pitch then, moved to one about improving maternal health and reducing morbidity...and now on a solar and battery play. The trick to getting the best out of these calls has been the diverse experts in the @LoftyIncCap network!

Founder’s: This is week 1 of the “weekend thought” series. It’s about building culture and belonging with remote teams. What are you doing to make your team feel valued, included and invested? Drop ideas, tactics or questions 👇 #startup

Start team traditions: marketing team gets treats(delivered or Venmo)to weekly huddle, dev team gets special tees with a saying to signify product feature release, host a feature release party, send party supplies, etc or what resonates with your team

If you’re not sure what that looks like, think about hosting a remote “lunch”(for some of your team, it might be dinner) Use them to get to know each other. Do icebreakers, ask about hobbies, ask someone to tell a story about themselves, patterns will emerge, build on those.

Because the world deserves brilliant, equitable and sustainable solutions, I support the Mensarius Oath for ethical investing created by VC Lab is a compass for the Venture community. #MensariusOath govclab.com/the-mensarius-…
