A modest proposal: maybe we should try giving every other entrepreneur who hasn't had access to capital a shot before we re-up on those with a track record of losing millions? We can loop back around to them at the end of the line...

One of my favorite parts of Silicon Valley is that you can literally lose millions of dollars of peoples money and if you’re not a complete psychopath the same people will sign up and give you more to try and not lose again

• More bang for buck ... there is a lot of duplication, spending on same things in different funds/initiatives even when missions very similar.
Obvs biased, but this is why I'm so excited to see where this partnership goes👇🏿

NEW BLOG! Our CEO @evans_eddy explains why sustainable #Socialimpact needs a more flexible approach to #investment. With less than 1% of companies able to raise VC investment & only 1% reaching a value of over $1bn, we’re taking a different approach.
