This is such a huge win for @KheironMedical - for a Series A stage startup to beat out the (extremely large) competition to win this award is pretty extraordinary. Massive validation for their approach and puts them firmly on the map as world leaders in AI-led cancer screening...

My former colleagues and friends @zefi and @jonnyclifford are also offering their time to POC founders. They’re knowledgeable, kind, tenacious people. I loved working with them and you will too !🙋🏻‍♀️📈
I benefit from systemic racism that restricts opportunity for POC. I must do better. I’d like to mentor (free) any POC & help you achieve your business goals. DM me! Been in tech for ~10 years as a founder & investor. Mentored 150+ founders @joinef DMs open RT for reach! #BLM

Some research backing up what I've heard anecdotally from some secondary investors. Many family offices (and governments) would be better off being LPs in FOFs rather than direct investing. j.mp/3ckVcPI

Maybe I’ve just been in lockdown too long with a two year old, but I’m starting to think that The Gruffalo is a truly profound book...
