Everyone knows that to actually achieve your goals, you need to put some stake in the ground or you’re unlikely to reach them. It’s what the TikTok girlies are calling ~manifestation~ So this is me putting my stake in the ground and publicly announcing my 2024 goals to keep me accountable. 💪 In 2024, I will: - Hit 100K IG followers ✨ - Grow my newsletter to 60K subscribers 💌 - Launch S2 of The @gensheinc Podcast 🎙️ Put some stake in the ground and comment your goals for 2024 👇

@STHoward @rishmishra Use @homefromcollege for student talent!!!

The goal of this newsletter is to create more visibility for women-led startups, make connections to investors, and get more $$$ to female founders. If you'd like to be considered, please submit your information here: lnkd.in/gmi3KWqQ

In 2024, I'm launching a newsletter to feature female founders and emerging managers actively fundraising (+ highlighting these companies on TikTok). In Q3, all-women founding teams raised just 1.6% of the $36.7 billion in venture capital allocated (down from 2.1% in Q3 2022).

@AmberIllig @TheCouncilCap @sophiaamoruso @trustfundvc But...a lot of these invitations happen on Twitter and within the startup / VC ecosystem. If you're not looking for these opportunities, they can be hard to find! If you're interested in accessing this database, drop your email as well!

Recently, I've seen funds like @AmberIllig of @TheCouncilCap and @sophiaamoruso of @trustfundvc open up access to this asset class by accepting checks from a new pool of Limited Partners.

What emerging managers are raising under 506c? I'm creating a database! Add your fund name, email, fund focus, and min. check size to the comments. Under 506c any accredited investor can invest into a VC fund...
