Last year I mentioned we were formalizing..this year LAUNCH! With over 200+ members globally, Black Women in Venture Capital or BWiVC.org is working to make venture ecosystem equitable for ALL founders! Join us! Blackwomeninventure@gmail.com

This week, @kateclark called to chat about BeReal in the wake of the 500 million Euro acquisition. I shared a few thoughts about the M&A market starting to thaw in consumer, which has been frozen over since 2022. To break it down further, here's a few more data points I've been tracking that reflect why I see potential for increased M&A and what investors should be doing to prepare for that 🧵

Grateful for the support of @MorganStanley! Onward and upward!

So happy to host you at the #BWiVC Clubhouse!! Bigger and better next year!

I’m excited the Getting to $3m ARR online event we’re hosting is next wk! These days, a lot of founders are pretty good at doing customer development. But once you get a few customers who love your product, I see a lot of drop off in startups that can start to scale. More >>

@roshanpateI What!?!?!?

My lead investor just texted me this about SVB.

We (Rippling) discovered yesterday that Silicon Valley Bank had unexpected solvency challenges. Just now, we learned that the FDIC had stepped in and effectively shut down SVB.

It felt so strong it woke me up #BayArea #earthquake #sanfrancisco
