"Women make highly competent leaders, according to those who work most closely with them — and what’s holding them back is not lack of capability but a dearth of opportunity." hbr.org/2019/06/research-wom…

Do women need or even *want* their own financial products? Isn’t money something that should be approached gender-neutrally?
I wrote an opinion piece for @TechCrunch answering these questions - would love to hear your thoughts!

📣 The news is out! @BusinessInsider
In a year where just 1.1% of funding went to female-led startups in 2021, this work feels particularly important.
And cherry on top: 70% of our board of investors are women!

I helped bring OKRs to my last company. It was great. It made us more objective and data-driven.
But I've felt there's something wrong with how most companies do OKRs.
I'm excited to have finally articulated the problem and proposed a solution.

The more time I spend in venture, the more deeply I appreciate how great product managers often make both great founders and great investors.

As I've done more & more angel investing, I've become increasingly convinced more of us should do it (esp underrepresented in tech folks/who think it's not for us).
A powerful way to bet on the future you want to see. For me, that looks like community-led solutions + new power.
With an increasingly noisy investment market, an investment thesis helps founders understand what investors are looking for — and not looking for. 🙅
@sarahdrinkwater’s latest for Sifted explains how angel investors can build an investment thesis. 😇

This is a great framework:
Many founders think the best first step in exploring an idea is building an MVP. But often this is a waste of time and money.
There's a better way - the Minimum Viable Testing framework. Really excited to share details on the First Round Review - review.firstround.com/the-mi…

DoubleLoop is for more than tracking product initiatives.
Product teams use DoubleLoop to get visibility into sales opportunities (imported from @salesforce) and customer feedback (imported from @typeform).
In all cases, we help separate signal from noise.

Some great insights here along with a template to get started yourself
I just published a post on how to 'Score Product Ideas Like a VC'.
This one comes from the heart. Having spent years in startup limbo, I created the model to help other founders and product teams avoid going after the wrong opportunity.
Hope it helps!
