1/ We all have an origin story. Today I’m happy to share part of mine and what led to @amelaclub
We stand in front of a complex problem, the women founder conundrum, but also in front of one of the most underestimated opportunities of all times 😍

Over the last 3 years, I became obsessed with our food waste problem. So @htannenbaum and I started @mill, a practical, new system to prevent waste, making it easy to take steps at home that are better for our kitchens and our planet.
Check it out at mill.com
Meet @mill, a new way to keep food out of landfills, because wasted food is worse than you think
Food from homes is 1/2 of the food in landfills (ReFED) where it produces methane, a greenhouse gas 80x more potent than CO2 over 20-yrs (IPCC)

The future of Venture, of innovation, and problem solving, might as well start from a more diverse group of investors, that represent us all as a beautiful heterogenous society.
Tomorrow and the next few days will be awesome if you want to learn about VC, porfolio formation ...

'You are the only black VC we could find in Australia'
It's true - we dont have black representation in Australian venture capital.
That's why I'm excited for @IncludedVc's #RISEInVC summit for black excellence in Venture Capital 👇🏾

Great takeaways from the momentous your of digital #carbon in 2022, what we can expect from #ReFi in that regard, mitigation vs removals ?
If you know me, you know I’m all in for removals , and that’s what we will be optimising for at @ZeruEarth in 2023

💯 Our thesis at @ZeruEarth is that climate can be a huge on-ramp towards web3. And we don’t even really have to tokenise Carbon for that. Now that the fire has weed out the speculators, real utility will emerge. Climate service and action accelerated

Crypto won't die from neo-bankers playing games.
Use cases I'm still stoked for:
- Social Tokens
- DAOs
- Tokenized carbon markets
- DeSci
- DeFi
- and more!
If anything, current events intensify the value proposition of all the true, decentralized innovation going on

This is how you price and study product features as a Pro! Big fan of @Patticus , what an amazing thread on how to make Twitter a truly money making machine, and finally compete with its rivals

Our Twitter subscriptions plan needs work @elonmusk.
I did a pricing study on 54.3k Twitter users to help you Doge Father.
TLDR:
- Verification should cost much less
- Twitter Blue should cost much more
- Twitter has a unique opportunity to 10x subscribers

Climate action is the way forward, it’s already a competitive advantage, it will be the license to operate, it is already the major attraction for top talent

The question isn't economic growth or climate action.
The answer is economic growth through climate action.
Locally, nationally, globally.

My 4y old heard me the other pitching here in twitter, something along the lines “we want to build a platform to accelerate everything carbon removal” Then he said, “Papa, I want to build with you, I’m bringing my tools 🛠 … to break the air” I fell in love 🥰 #cdrgeneration
