How stock market bubbles work

if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again

Who's raising? I am actively looking to make 2-3 $500K investments over the next few months into late pre-seed or seed companies.

Liz is the OG!!! Can't recommend enough🎯

The decreased focus on fundraising among founders today raises the question of its impact on VC. I'm curious as to how it affects emerging fund managers.

The scarcest quality among early stage VCs these days is guts

Join the @posi2ive community this Friday 3:30-5pm PST with this week's guest co-host @DarrelFrater. We'll be shredding decks and sharing perspectives with Founders, VCs, and Angels. #PitchTheDeck RT the $💚$ x.com/i/spaces/1yNGaZPzprQJj

highly recommend!

If you got a message from me over the past 24 hrs making any sort of request please ignore it as that was not me. Someone had access to my account and did some damage.

love this! if you’re a preseed startup currently raising. reach out to @Zecca_Lehn

Please take a moment to help save a life; the father of a friend (and Founder living in India) needs an urgent heart surgery as their family is in financial need. @karthik_with_h went out of his way to welcome me in Rajasthan India last year when I visited his beautiful city--introducing me to a group of startups there. 💚 I just donated $500, and will match up to another $500. (Please share to urgently help raise $5500 to help his father survive). impactguru.com/fundraiser/pl…

Value add

Some of the best and crazy ideas I’ve seen happens in educational settings - colleges.

I have so much good stuff to say about @Zecca_Lehn but here’s the Tldr He’s such an amazing human and if you’re a founder raising or just need someone in your corner, reach out to him 💚

Cherish the people who bet on you first. Customers, mentors, friends, family, and investors.

honestly, I liked this platform when it was twitter. X is not for the faint of heart.

going into the new year with a lot more optimism

Choosing to build an enduring community a few years ago, which is 100% inclusive around identity, and focused on #VC_impact aligned with the #UNSDGs was one of the best decisions I've made in the past decade! Am deeply grateful to our 10k member base @posi2ive. 🧵 It's taught me to be assertive about our mission as a community, to guard the interests of our members, and enabled us to encourage new solutions over rehashing old problems. It's taught me the value of consistently having a mindset around paying-it-forward. When I dove into becoming an impact-focused Angel five years ago without having raised venture $ nor exited--it was a way to better understand the venture market. And to meet other Emerging Fund Managers as I moved toward launching @ResponsiblyVC -- now around 500 Family Offices/GPs who share deals and make LP intros together in our private sub-community. I've had so many positive experiences building our sub-communities -- e.g., THE HIVE, #GoodMarkets, and our private LP/GP community. Have ran hundreds of live roundtables, and produced podcasts for two years with some outstanding guests. See our articles and interviews: medium.com/posi2ive We'll be building our first branded and community centered website in the next few weeks, and plan to eventually steer my efforts toward a Foundation centered on Sustainability and Social Good (backing innovators who are making Venture Scale Positive Impacts). Always open to feedback as a community lead; looking forward to another year of collaboration and shared memories together in 2024. 💚🐝💚🐝
