@MacConwell With that being said… I’ve tried reaching out sir, no response yet. Can I please get 10 minutes of your time. 🫡

Founders, confidence is a must but so is the ability to say you don't know something or having thoughts about what happens if your initial plans don't work out. We love confidence but as a pre-seed company we also know everything won't go perfect, so it's ok to acknowledge that

@galeforceVC @heyalexfriedman

@heyalexfriedman 1) this Matt guy writes kids books - I hope he finds some empathy to put in those at least 🤦‍♀️ 2) judging others indicates an insecurity we have (ie he is the jealous one or unhappy with his life for some reason) 3) society’s expectation to get married and have kids needs to stop

The girl in the video below is a friend of mine from college, Julia. She hosts a podcast where she talks about breakups, relationships and trying to love yourself at any stage you are in. The fact that Matt took her video out of context to build some commentary that fits a hyper-negative narrative and chooses to call her “stupid” is not just cruel but flat out uninformed. The point of most of Julia’s content is to say “even if you are alone, even if you are going through a breakup, even if you haven’t found “the one” yet to start a family… there are ways to find joy through that.” It just so happens that her Sunday joy is celebrating learning to cook a new dish and watch reality TV ‘guilt free’. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And please, let’s not forget when we share commentary on content, there are real people behind those videos / posts and more often than not we do not get a full picture in a few minutes long video or a few sentences.

@SerjKorj @danielmerja @ycombinator

@danielmerja @ycombinator Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Marc Andreessen, Jensen Huang even didn’t apply to YC 😉 No worries. Everything goes on as usual.

We just got rejected from @ycombinator! LFG! 😂 but in seriousness, it's just 1 no, so keep pushing. 💪

@danielmerja @DeeSmartyy @ycombinator @iAmBeUApp

@DeeSmartyy @ycombinator @iAmBeUApp That’s right. Tons of founders never got accepted in YC and still made it.

Excited to be speaking at the @eMergeAmericas conference tomorrow! Grateful to @JCVazquez6 and @MiamiEdTech for giving me the opportunity to lead a conversation on stage about #STEAM w/ @MDCPS teacher Dr. Derrick Cash and some of his students! #emergeamericas #miamitech #edtech

Last week I had a Full circle moment. In 2019 I was a student @500GlobalVC @vcunlocked program at Stanford University where @trevorloy was one of our professors. Well last Thursday 4 years later I was in the exact same class room this time as a guest lecturer for Trevor's class

@charliechi @jefielding They even went so far as to say, “Good luck getting an investor to sign one!” It can be disheartening but… “What was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me.” - @JColeNC

@charliechi @jefielding I’ve experienced a trend lately: more and more investors are backing out of discussions once asked to sign a NDA. During a recent series of meetings, I had an investor laugh in my face when I asked them to sign one before sharing our extensive BP.

One of the founders we backed just found out that one of his ‘strategic’ investors sent a confidential investor update to a competitor. I’m so furious right now that once I find who it is, I’m going to let you all know. Watch this space …☠️

Founders if you've been impacted by the SVB mess and are struggling or need someone to vent to, please hit me up. I know this is tough but you are more than your company. Your family and friends will love you regardless of what happens. You are valued. Remember that!

The people that enjoy the pursuit of their potential get further than anyone else.

She's right! So right. Please listen to her
