NoReply is like personal sticky notes people can leave around for their team members without needing to reply to them: for when you're too busy during business hours to convey a message, when you've already spoken but want to provide feedback again, or when you unexpectedly feel like sending a motivational message to a team member.

Before pitching a VC, here are some rarely discussed tips to consider:
📩 Warm intros are powerful, but don’t sleep on cold emails. The best ones are short, simple, and direct—no more than 4-5 sentences. Sometimes, the subject line alone can get straight to the point.
📊 Understand venture math, especially for the specific firm you’re pitching. Not all firms operate the same way. An outcome for one firm might not make sense for another.
🔎 Pitching is a numbers game, but you can still personalize each pitch with light research. Info on a firm’s thesis / portfolio are all online.
👂🏽 Master the art of the follow-up. If you noticed an investor's eyebrows lit up when you mentioned XYZ in the initial conversation, highlight it again in your follow-up email.
🔨 Be direct with a CTA during the initial meeting. Ask the investor what they need to get their partners excited. Help them craft the story internally.

My boyfriend is in YC and this is what I come home to Friday night.
I make sure that he’s fed, do his laundry cut his hair. I give feedback, customer intros, and encouragement. YC girlfriends should be granted sweat equity.

This is my vibe whenever I get cal invites with Zoom links: "Here's my phone number instead. Please walk your dog or stretch your legs in a park. If not that, hop on the Peloton for a gentle cycle. Or just stretch. And give me a call when you're happy and comfortable."

Brilliant. I’m in full denial about this coming Sunday…

Idea: a YouTube show called grandma.VC. We find five grandmothers to do pre-seed investing. $2m fund that writes 20 x $100k pre-seed checks. 20 deals over 2 years, 200 pitches so ~2 pitches a week and 10% investment rate.
Hypothesis is the grandmas outperform most venture funds as grandmother wisdom eclipses most VC’s. Video edits from the pitches sprinkled on tiktok. Content will be gold. The grandmas prove they have top quartile judgment.
If you’re interested in the idea DM me or RT.
Happy Mother’s Day to the moms and the grandmas. 👸🏽 👵

Hey #startup founders! I can’t stress this enough: When pitching to #investors, remember to focus on the problem you're solving, show traction, and be confident in your vision. And don't forget to smile! 😊 #pitchingtips #entrepreneurship

I made my first ANGEL INVESTMENT 👼
A few months ago I had the opportunity to write a check into Anytime Spritz.
Why is this special? Outside of being incredibly tasty & having sustainably sourced ingredients, the founders are two queer women.
I’m so fortunate to be able to support people who share identities with me. It’s a small step in making the leaders of tomorrow more diverse.
Check it out! ✨

I took this photo of @TommyWiseau in 2018 at the Golden Globes and last night, was treated to one of the most entertaining nights in a theater watching The Room at the @balboatheatresf for the first time. Tommy, you are such a gift…
