Just got off the most energizing startup pitch call.
Women writing angel checks are fundamentally changing what problems are getting solved. It's breathtaking to be part of it all in real-time.

The biggest mistake I see leadership teams make is not sharing the context behind strategy changes.
At The Knot we used a framework called KUBA.
K: let them know what is changing
U: help them understand why
B: help them believe it’s the right thing
A: enable / empower them to act

In neighborhoods shaped by racism & insufficient infrastructure investment, among other structural choices, residents can face disproportionate risk from climate change, affecting everything from flood vulnerability to the ability to get disaster warnings. tinyurl.com/2uamkmxz

2013: The wave of automation moving through the world right now is going to replace a lot of labor. That which can be automated, will be. huffpost.com/entry/automatio…
2023: AI is eating jobs. TBD if chatbots can truly “replace” the empathy & kindness of a human on a chat line, though.
The chatbot is named "Tessa" and will replace the entire Helpline program starting June 1. trib.al/e7Zajoi

There is so much content on Twitter, I don't think a lot of people realize how high the bar is set for "subscribe to unlock" tweets

“A lot of AAPI women see it as a calling to care for older people. If we can figure out how to resource the kinds of community-based and informal networks to build an infrastructure that supports them, it will be so powerful.” ~@aijenpoo #AAPIHeritageMonth 19thnews.org/2023/05/aapi-wo…

The importance of investing in women and other traditionally underrepresented founders simply can’t be overstated. But if we aren’t changing the side that dictates the flow of money, any potential impact will be lost. @Just_Kate

Unpopular opinion.
Sometimes I don’t want to be a female founder I just want to be a founder.

U. of Kansas research finds that people who rely on #socialmedia to combat #loneliness experience a stronger wish for face-to-face interactions down the road -- over weeks & years.
A reminder: "Close friends & family are an energy renewing social system."

Techstars Anywhere alum and CEO of @strongsuitco,
@lcmichaelides, is keeping it real. Last week she shared her #SVB story with the world. This week she shared her incredible founder story with Techstars Anywhere 23. We do what we do because of founders like, Lindsey!

Is the CEO/Founder life glamorous?
Maybe on Twitter and Instagram.
But in real life?
It's pretty f-ing hard. And lonely.

Think you can just walk into @jpmorgan and open an account as an emerging fund manager?
Think again.
The big banks don't want our fund business. They require crazy minimums making it out of reach for most of us. Literally hundreds of fund managers are scrambling to figure out where to diversify their banking right now....
