@chrissyfarr @chrissyfarr consider shifting your language away from blaming women please! many look, many do not find at that time. Men are playing a part in this too :)

@JessicaRKarr yeah... I agree. I do also know a lot of women who think they have all the time in the world so they don't look for partners who they'd want to have families with in their twenties.

There is one kernel of truth here. What most of my female friends in their late thirties/ early forties do agree on (quietly, b/c we're afraid to say it out loud): Most of us wish we had had kids younger. Pregnancy is not easy physically, and neither is very young kids. And it does impact your career, so there's value in doing it when you're more junior. x.com/sweatystartup/…

@DelJohnsonVC @Beezer232 @Yale The Yale program looks great! Given they invest $25M, I think they'll still be focused on larger EM funds. Screendoor and the like are actually very strong programs. Institutions min check size vs the fund size is typically the hurdle that programs like Screendoor are solving for

@Beezer232 @Yale Instiutions need to invest in EMs themselves like this and not break the prinicipal/agent relationship. Gotta eliminate programs like screendoor and get back to basics.

@chrissyfarr What other good word choices are there? App is usually not descriptive enough. To me platform makes sense bc of different moving parts - app, EHR integration, telehealth, human interventions, payer billing, ...

WHY ARE SO MANY COMPANIES STILL CALLING THEMSELVES PLATFORMS. A platform is the most nothingburger term. Means nothing. Everything and nothing. Don't be nothing. Be something.

@AlyssaJoyJaffee I prefer to see the deck first too. What I can read in about 2 minutes saves a founder about 30 minutes of a pitch. I have seen some hesitation around competitors getting ahold of some info so maybe that is playing into this?

I’m finding more founders lately are reluctant to share decks in advance of calls and I find it so odd. Doesn’t that help us both set up for success? Curious where this trend (or advice) is coming from.

It's been about a year since the markets crashed for startups and VC funds. In the past year, it's been incredibly hard for both funds & startups to raise $$. I'm no crystal ball, but here's what is happening from my standpoint & where I think the mkts are going. More >>

What is the beach in the Bay Area or vicinity that is most consistently sunny, not super foggy/windy and not bone chillingly cold to go in the water? Could also be a few hours drive away. If this is insane, lmk and I'll abort mission.
