it’s always the female founders in our portfolio who are getting term sheets pulled, having exits disrupted, suffering 11th hour investor backouts…i wouldn’t believe it unless i’d seen it firsthand.

I don’t understand how COVID is spiking again after we’ve tried everything from pretending it’s over to pretending it never happened

Coming out of the Holmes trial, I think one of my biggest pieces of advice to startup founders is to have friends. You need people in your life you enjoy hanging out with that say things like 'lol what are you talking about' or 'that's a bad idea' when you say weird shit

The most common fundraising mistake I see with first-time founders is mistaking anything they hear other than “no” as “yes.”
Founders:
1) “No” is not in an investor’s vocabulary
2) The absence of “yes” is default “no”
3) The only certain commitment is money in the bank.

Non-attachment does not mean pushing away, avoidance or indifference.
It’s the purest form of love.
It recognizes that our situation is not permanent and therefore we must hold it loosely as a practice of unconditional love for ourselves and others.

Our Constitutional Republic cannot tolerate Supreme Court Justices who lied in order to get confirmed. The legitimacy of the Court is at stake.
