Thanks to @vivnunez + @Forbes for sharing lessons I've learned in raising VC for @JoinPaladin:
1) Don’t be afraid to ask hard questions just because the answer may be “pivot”
2) Include diversity in your VC brainstorming
3) Don’t run away from feedback

Last night we wrapped up our @LatinxFounderCo dinner series 1.0 - in 18 months we hosted more than 165 Latinx tech founders and investors all over the U.S. We've seen this community raise new rounds, new funds and even have an acquisition. Let's do this!!! 💪🏽

Totally agree with @randizuckerberg.

Founders, when approaching investors:
- Remember that investors are human
- Figure out your target investors
- Be honest about challenges
- Keep it simple
- Be coachable
