“The regulators bailed out the very venture capital firms that triggered the bank run on S.V.B. in the first place”. Great article by @SenWarren on who is responsible for the SVB collapse!
Bank failures are the direct result of leaders in Washington weakening the financial rules. In 2018, President Trump signed a law rolling back critical protections. I fought these changes. I warned that banks would run up risk. I wish I’d been wrong. nytimes.com/2023/03/13/opini…

Love how Prime Ministers @jacindaardern & @MarinSanna shot down this SEXIST question from a journalist. @BBCWorld thx for highlighting the sexism women still face today!

Incredibly inspired to be in a room with 300+ FEMALE venture capitalists. Per @jesskah said, “Let’s get out there and do deals together!” #wvcs22 #womeninvc 💪

Wished someone gave me this cheat sheet from @karanortman when I sold @LoveWithFood. M&A is an extremely stressful and taxing decision/process. I slept 10 hours the day after I sold my co. The 6 mths of DD and negotiation completely engulfed all my energy!
M&A is brutal. It's a full time job, emotionally taxing and mixed with subjective feedback. So how do you know if potential M&A is worth your time? Here’s a cheat sheet I share with founders:
