Too many VCs trying to be nice and popular instead of debating entrepreneurs to be as great as they can be. Push them some beyond their limits of comfort to think harder and bigger or surface the bad news earlier and take action early! VCs can add value but most prefer politeness

The danger is that if we invest too much in developing Al and too little in developing human consciousness, the very sophisticated artificial intelligence of computers might only serve to empower the natural stupidity of humans.

Thank you @SlushHQ for another special event! Talked climate tech on stage with @sclarsic, @davidhelgason, @sofiahmich. Hosted a climate tech meetup in a greenhouse. @sarakemppainen launched @reprogrants. And went for a few swims in the freezing Baltic Sea after sauna 🧖🥶😁 – at Helsinki, Finland

Very exciting news coming from @Circulor1 in our portfolio! This is a space and a company I'm particularly bullish on. The team is laser focused, the need for supply chain transparency is acute and they are well ahead of competition. Keep pushing!
Our portfolio company @Circulor1 just announced they raised another 25m$ to fuel their growth.
They bring transparency and traceability to complex supply chains, and help large companies like BHP or Volvo reduce emissions and uphold ESG standards.

Personal brand = the "promise of the experience" when interacting with you as an investor:
✅How do you treat people?
✅What are you known for?
✅What can founders learn from you?

Funding into women's health companies was up 2x in 2021 from 2020. The industry is booming — but it’s also playing catch up after being underserved for FAR too long. forbes.com/sites/annefield/2…

Board diversity benefits everyone -- management, shareholders, clients and consumers -- while closing the wealth gap. 2021 showed progress, but 2022 needs to demonstrate acceleration. Thanks @mariaaspan for covering such an important topic. fortune.com/2021/12/08/was-2…

I'm expecting a baby, due next week. Today is my last day at Ada Ventures before 👶
I regularly feel unbelievably grateful to my partner in Ada Ventures, Matt, but today especially so.
He has set me & Ada up for success in taking time away for this next chapter.🙏 @Penhelios

What's the book or article that's had the biggest impact on how you think about management and leadership?

When you hear stories of successful companies you tend to think it was all smooth sailing. I often say that truly great companies have had at least three near death experiences. That's certainly true of Spotify. However, these moments are also pivotal for forging the culture.

How Spotify nearly didn’t make it’s 5th birthday as the world around us suddenly changed. Interviews with top analyst #MaryMeeker & Spotify insiders. And why it’s better to be lower on a tall 🏔than higher on a small one🧗♂️
