Went to @money2020. Reflections:
- after 10+ yrs in fintech it’s awesome to see so many (real life!) friends at the event
- old school networking is still cringey… but I hate to say it, actually fairly productive
- walked 15k steps both days
- Vegas is still a horrible place

It is truly amazing to see John Oliver make a (very well researched) episode on the topic of psychedelics and mental health. Beyond grateful to the work of my husband @fedeum (and the entire @MAPS team) for powering the research behind this revolution.

🤔 What are hybrid companies' **unique** challenges & needs (vs. fully-remote or fully-in person companies)? And can technology solve them?

Thanks for writing about this super important topic @meliarobin !
With more women entering the male-dominated venture industry, firms are crafting maternity leave policies on the fly to accommodate new mothers.
@thisisinsider spoke to mothers in venture capital who stay plugged in during maternity leave and why. ⬇️

ALT A digital illustration of several venture capitalists engaged in handshakes with a mother's hand between them passing a pacifier to her child. The headline text on the graphic reads: "Women in venture capital are rewriting the rules of maternity leave."
Every child 4-yrs old or younger living in the Presidio right now 🙉😱😭#fleetweek
Had 2 catch ups with 2 amazing women investors today. The amount of support and vulnerability that we are able to show one another is truly heartwarming, and not something that’s immediately apparent to outsiders. Almost like being part of a secret society.
Interested in learning more about the 🔬science behind psychedelics ✨ but you are too lazy to read the Michael Pollan’s book? Good news, Netflix just made it into a mini series! netflix.com/us/title/8022984…
Wow. Kind of regretting my decision to give up wanting to be an astronaut to explore the universe...
NASA has unveiled a batch of images from its James Webb Space Telescope, offering the deepest look of the cosmos yet.
This new image of the Carina Nebula "reveals for the first time previously invisible areas of star birth," according to the agency. bit.ly/3RnXS4d

Things you need in order to have a career as a mother imo:
- a supportive spouse that wants to (and actually does) share the load at least 50/50
- a supportive work environment
- a spouse with a supportive work environment
Note how none of these are “superpowers”.

If I were to have one overarching ethos for founding my business, it would be this:
Excellent jobs should not be limited to a handful of wealthy western cities. Everyone has a dream life, and everyone should have the opportunity to achieve it.
I am 6 months pregnant and it really bothers me when people touch my belly without asking. I figured out the solution: if someone touches it without asking for permission, I do the same to them. It weirds them out instantly. I bet they won’t do it again.
What a cool experience to speak at @TechCrunch #earlystage! Bonus: my whole Italian family was in attendance too. Even if my mom speaks no English, she was excited to see what the buzz was all about. Thanks for having me!
Packed house @TechCrunch #earlystage for @emergencecap partner @Carlottasini’s pitch deck tear-down 🧐
I was struck by the variety of ideas & diversity of founders in attendance. A lot of international folks with a ton of energy. I met refugees founders, women founders, and people of all ages looking to launch their startup. Great job @TechCrunch in attracting such a great group!
Over the last year, @emergencecap has contributed data to HimForHer and @crunchbase to help develop this insightful study on gender diversity on private boards. Bonus: the co-contributor to this project is my wonderful GSB classmate Luci Fonseca of Base10!
