@LeslieFeinzaig 💯 This is such a great idea. I think we can make a few of these since our current INVEST IN WOMEN shirts need a refresh. I will share when they are ready! thefiercefoundry.com/fierce-foundry…

Who wants to make me a "We should have more female billionaires" tee?

@U2 I heard #bono talking on @SIRIUSXM last week about how well women work together and his support with #RED - Is there a world where he might listen to our mission in building FierceFoundry? #investinwomen #Fiercefounders thefiercefoundry.com

@jefielding Sounds like you need what @weglobalstudios is building :)

Once per week, I get pitched a product or service to help increase my deal flow. They all promise curation and quality. Thing is, VCs don’t need more deal flow. They are drowning in it, even good flow!

@NJTRANSIT_NEC For all those wondering in the comments, every past President and state leader who defunded Amtrak and let this maintenance defer should be ashamed of themselves.

1 of 3: Rail service is suspended into and out of Penn Station New York due to AMTRAK overhead wire issues in Penn Station New York. Midtown Direct trains are being diverted to Hoboken.

@Google @GoogleHelpMe I am locked out of my gmail. You don't give me the option for a sms code. You ask me to get a code from Youtube but when I attempt to set up Youtube on my phone, you ask to also send me a code on Youtube... that's a lovely cycle. PLEASE HELP!

@Hardtruths100 @BillClinton Ew

My last 23 years have been fascinating, filled with family life and foundation work, with heroes and heartbreak. In CITIZEN I tell stories of my life and work after the White House and the people who inspire me to keep going every day. Writing it has been a labor of love and I can’t wait to share it with everyone in November.

@heyalexfriedman @jefielding 💯

@jefielding I prefer 1:1 outreach of like “hey! I’d love to catch you up, do you have 20 minutes this week or can I send a deck?” I like mass updates, but I don’t find them as engaging as the above so it can be very passive to me.

I pass on a lot of companies where I like some things about the deal but have not reached conviction. I offer to stay in touch. 90% of founders don’t do this (I get it). But the ones that do, I always revisit the decision when they reach out - did I make the right decision, should I look again, can I be useful with intros or connections? Staying top of mind is an underrated founder superpower 🚀

had undiagnosable chronic pain for 3 years. 24 doctors visits and about $7k in medical spend. finally found the issue with ChatGPT, a prenuvo scan (2k), and an anonymous twitter poster the system cannot continue as is

@SelinBucak2 just read your Oct article on Femtech startups and female founders. Is there an estimate of total femtech founders/companies today? Or just $$? sifted.eu/articles/even-…

@EricLMitchell @POTUS Ew

@POTUS Second time in a year we have a Chinese Spy Balloon flying across our county, the southern border is being invaded, you’re paying for the illegals to fly with no ID and you refuse to put America First. Resign and get treatment for dementia!

For the first time in over 50 years, an American spacecraft landed on the Moon – made possible by American ingenuity, innovation, and curiosity. Congratulations to the teams at NASA and Intuitive Machines on this thrilling step forward. We're leading the world back to the Moon.

It started with abortion, now it’s IVF, what’s next? Elections matter, women’s rights are on the ballot in November. Family rights are on the ballot. What is happening is scary and awful. cnn.com/2024/02/21/us/…
