    Talked to a Black founder this week who took 160 meetings to close a $2m seed round. & when things were tight, he didn't compromise - he turned down $$$ from VCs who weren't mission aligned. Keep going.

    Met cofounders who were so in sync they'd pull up slides as the other was talking to reinforce points. They deferred to each other's areas of expertise & listened to each other throughout. If you're bringing >1 founder to the call, do it to highlight your teamwork. Do this.

    Female founders get 2x more negative questions when fundraising than male founders. And underrepresented founders in general are more likely to be put on the defense by how investors ask questions.

    Just met a founder who pitched over 400 VCs to close their pre-seed. After one yes, they closed their round in 3 weeks. Your early believers are out there.

    In the last 2 years I've made ~30 investments into early stage cos. Here are a few things I wish I knew when I started 👼🏽 investing: - build process as you go - learn by doing - look at a lot of deals - small bets > big - startup communities = open

    I’m excited to announce the @HustleFundVC Venture Fellowship. For a long time, VC has been inaccessible to most people. The career path is opaque, relationship building takes a ton of time, and there aren’t opportunities to practice the craft and build a track record without
