Huge congrats @nctechnocrat @chazgaddy & @GDCWorldview team on the path building to this outcome. So much to love in this story - their joy in the mid-article photo a perfect reflection of the experience of what it's like to be in business with them. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼wraltechwire.com/2022/04/05/…

This policy is needlessly cruel and wrongheaded.
It's also incredibly hypocritical coming from the same people who've spent the past two years insisting that parents, not schools, get to decide what's best for their children re: COVID.
Government by schadenfreude truly sucks.

We're hiring for two exceptional Summer Associates - one on the investment analysis side, and one in communications and community. I'm biased, but it's a great opportunity to experience the reality of an early stage fund.
We're hiring for two Summer Associates (June - August) - details at bit.ly/3nXCmER. Deadline May 30th. No "3 years of Investment Banking" nonsense. Looking for smart, diligent, creative, fun, fast-moving people for an inside look at building a venture fund. It'll be fun.
So much of the VilCap story is just beginning, and I cannot wait to see where the amazing team in place takes it over the next 10 years as they continue to reinvent the system. 💫
I'm excited to remain involved, in a different supportive capacity.
.@BenWrobel has been behind so much of VilCap's storytelling over the years.
Can't wait to read his and @msmegmassey's new book Letting Go - on the power of participatory approaches as they share the stories of @DisabRightsFund @UjimaBoston and others. bit.ly/LettingGo2021

Startup investing has a diversity problem: Black, Latinx, and Indigenous founders combined receive less than 10% of startup funding.

I drove to pick up my mom’s mail this morning without spending one second or iota of energy worrying about being pulled over, shot, tased, or dehumanized by a police officer. This simple luxury should not be too much for our brothers and sisters of color to demand.

Reading a spotlight on @PiggyBankNG in Beyondgood by @psb_dc and @leimer, the Nigerian in me couldn’t help smiling. Thank you @OdunEweniyi and team for helping customers improve their attitude and discipline towards savings. Tech should help us become better - complementary!

1/ Earlier this month I shared with the world, "What is "Justice Tech"? How do we center lived experience? More to come this month, put this on your 👀 list"
We're following up on this. We invite you to join us & to share our report. #justicetech
@villagecapital @AmFamInstitute
How do we move toward a criminal and civil justice system that is truly just?
The US justice system is far from equitable. We set out with @AmFamInstitute and community leaders to define and map the Justice Tech sector – both startups and investors vilcap.com/justicetech

Join us! So excited for this! 🙌🏾
Side note: I’ve always struggled with explaining where I’m from - loving this “Eritrea/Kenya” summary 👀

Hate against any of us is hate against all of us.
The new energy economy requires lots of solutions: more resilience, more flexibility, independence and grid-integration.
For those in TX (or elsewhere!) in the market: TX-based @MTrigen does all the above & incorporates multiple renewable sources☀️🌬️⚡️
