Not sure who needs to hear this but the sky isn’t actually falling!

You started something because you believed in it, you’re solving a real problem and amazing people joined you for the journey

But also, stay optimistic + fearless FTW! 🙌

They often instead went into industry after college and learned excellent bench skills / critical thinking in a team-oriented setting.

Companies should look out for these people and promote them -- they are strong assets.

Want to invest in startups w/ your own $ but don’t know where to start? Many VCs offer programs to (1) help you learn the basics of angel investing, (2) give you access to deal flow.

Firms w/ angel programs:
- First Round
- Hustle Fund
- RBL1
- OnDeck
- Pipeline Angels

+ more!

Important part of being a startup founder is saying “we’re just getting started” over and over for a decade.

Kudos to NY for requiring fashion businesses to report areas in their supply chain having the greatest social and environmental impact (fair wages, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, water and chemical management) & make plans to reduce https://t.co/Cljf6iz06U @VVFriedman #Carbon
