Seems like every other startup conversation I have surfaces these two questions:
1. Why is PR so #$^ hard lately?
2. And what do I do about it?

Here are my tips on the PR landscape (yes, it's harder than it was) & how you can set yourself up for success:

@gregbettinelli @upfrontvc @a16z @martin_casado @JenniferHli @archiemckenzie_ Your seven presentations, Charlie Greene, and [REDACTED]

[Kerry Bennett @KerryKB]

From day one @gimmedadeetz knew there was something special about @archiemckenzie_ and @generaltxn - and she was right.

[Aditi Maliwal @gimmedadeetz]

We led @generaltxn seed when it was just @archiemckenzie_ .. These days I get to work out of their office & spend time with the team every day. I’ve watched them build something special, pumped for this team!! https://t.co/ijMAVo2a1l

@gimmedadeetz @generaltxn @archiemckenzie_ My heart is with the builders who recognize humans as well. Congrats on a big day, @generaltxn and @archiemckenzie_

@lulumeservey I love this - my favorite exercise is to make everyone tell a fairy tale. Once upon a time there were [people] who had a [problem]. Then one day a company came along who [expertise] and [created solution]. And they all lived [benefit of the solution].

@mike_smayda @Stanford @Fortastra_Corp I sort of love that there's a class on this!

Incredibly excited to lead Village's $9.5M Seed Round alongside Bling Capital, GTMfund, and Perceptive Ventures.

Working with @IAmBrandonTerry, @_allansmith_, and the rest of the Village team has been an nothing short of astounding. Changing the paradigm for pediatric specialty care is no small undertaking, but we have no doubt this is the team that will do it.

A special thank you to @BrockEWTurner and the @axios team for covering the story.

@N_Sportelli @ashleymayer First time I've been on X in months. So everything here is just as nice as this, right?

[Kerry Bennett @KerryKB]

@MollySOShea @msuster @itsmayuuu Everyone's already said too much

[Kerry Bennett @KerryKB]

@alexrkonrad I genuinely hate how funny you are on X formerly known as Twitter because it makes me less likely to leave X formerly known as Twitter

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Exactly. This.

[Kerry Bennett @KerryKB]

Kudos to @howaboutafresca for the USWNT talk - exactly what I want from sports radio. Critique and speculation on an elite team’s performance and future, just like they’re an NFL or NBA team, without words like “polarizing” or “arrogant.”

[Kerry Bennett @KerryKB]

AMAZING creative advice (h/t @ebekiel) and honestly, probably great advice for most feedback!

[Sequence @sequence_film]

Bill Hader on receiving feedback: "when people tell you something is wrong, they're usually right. when they tell you how to fix it, they're usually wrong."

[Kerry Bennett @KerryKB]

@ebekiel Why has this changed my life on a Wednesday morning

[Kerry Bennett @KerryKB]

@allisonbraley Also actually no one has ever been talking to someone insightful and thought “you should have the freedom to speak your mind” because that is literally what that person is doing, right then.
