OK, real talk--who is ACTUALLY actively writing new checks to founders these days? Respond below with:
1. Name of fund
2. Size of check
3. Stage you invest
4. How founders can engage.
In this environment of fear, founders could benefit from this roll call. GO.

Happy 5th birthday...to ME! (Hustle Fund) On this special day, we are excited to announce our newest fund, Hustle Fund III: a $46M fund to serve great founders at the pre-seed + seed stages. Quick thread (1/4):
It's been a busy May at Hustle Fund. This month, we invested in 16 companies across 4 continents:
7 startups in the US
4 startups in Asia
3 startups in Africa
2 startups in LatAm
Thank you founders for giving us this opportunity to serve you!
Despite our name, we do not subscribe to hustle porn at our fund.
As a result, we are shutting down our office and letting all team members have a paid vacation from Dec 20 - Jan 3.
Thanks to all founders and partners for your patience, as we'll be chillaxing during that time!
Hill that I’ll die on: $1k investments are worth taking for the right investor.
And more often they are *more helpful* than large check investors.
This is why VC is being disrupted. Smaller check writers are proving to be more useful in many cases.
Cohort analysis is one of the most underrated skillsets. A lot of early founders neglect that segmenting consumers by cohorts (time, demographics) can produce quick wins on acquisition/retention.
