As wildfires continue to affect our hometown of Los Angeles, our hearts go out to everyone impacted. To those facing evacuations or uncertainty, we’re thinking of you and our city during this difficult time.
Stay safe, LA.
Here are a few resources to support those affected:
- Support Firefighters: Donate to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation to help equip firefighters with emergency shelters, hydration backpacks, and wildland tools. supportlafd.org/
- Evacuation Support: The Dream Center is operating an evacuation center for displaced residents. instagram.com/p/DEjWWndpp7s/…
- Help Animals: If you’re able to temporarily foster dogs displaced by the fires, sign up with the Canine Rescue Club. caninerescue.club/foster

What I love about this...it's not just any kind of VC investment.
@SlausonAndCo invests in founders who likely don't have rich families/friends as 1st checks...but who can change the world when someone backs them.
I get goose bumps thinking about the ripple effects🤩
