@comyuki07 Love this idea! 👏👏👏

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.

@renatamerinobb Thank you so much for sharing your story and wisdom with people. I’m really inspired and sending you lots of ❤️

As you heal, your standards rise and you no longer resonate with past people in your life who resonated with the lower “unhealed” version of you. You continue to rise and eliminate those who no longer meet your standards.

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.

@landon20s Thank you also sharing these great tips! 🙏🏻

And most importantly: practice, practice, practice. (but this should be obvious)

@CCgong @ycombinator Ha! Absolutely. It takes a village ❤️

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. @ycombinator 30 days until demo day 💪

@NattyZ This looks fantastic!

Omg I'm going to do this

@PhilzCoffee I will never quit you 🥰

@omgitstamz Thank you, @omgitstamz! 🩷

How sweet

Lately I’ve been using the “special directions” part of my @UberEats @PhilzCoffee order as an opportunity to show gratitude and i think you should too 🥰

@rubenharris @eMergeAmericas Love a speaker badge! ☺️ Break a leg!!

Miami, @eMergeAmericas, Day 1

Love this, Christina! More of this 👏🏻

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

@dunn Brilliant. Talk about investing with heart and soul 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

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

@nic_detommaso What a feeling!! Congratulations 👏🏻

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! ✨ anytimespritz.com

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…
