As a naturalized American from Venezuela who originally came here on a student visa to attend @Harvard, I agree 💯. There are infinitely better ways to tackle immigration and fix the problems in elite universities than preventing the best and brightest whose values are aligned with America’s from coming here

America wins by recruiting builders and innovators: Einstein, Jensen, Grove, Brin, Huang. Immigrants start companies, create millions of jobs, and strengthen our global leadership—benefiting generations of native-born Americans. Immigration done right is America First. 🇺🇸

I invest in groundbreaking founders that not only solve for access but also for cultural nuances. Thank you @Inc for featuring Ascendo Venture Capital and what I look for to invest in founders to unlock trillion-dollar opportunities! @annieburba

Such a great time during @AllRaise VC Summit - what a better way to start the day than dancing with trailblazers in the industry :) It was a summit full of insights, best practices and fostering connections among VCs driving the future of investing. @PaigeHBuckner
