Something is happening in pre-seed / seed that I think needs to be amplified more.

The gap between pre-seed and seed is getting large.

Excited to be cooking up something for @nextplayso in Chicago with @longjumpfund. Since moving into pre-seed, I've realized how many awesome opportunities there are early stage that I was completely oblivious to prior and can't wait to create some connections w/ Chicago talent.

LongJump wouldn't exist without Techstars Chicago. We're sad to see the city program leaving, but we wanted to write a bit of a thank you to @Techstars, sharing some of the history & impact, as well as our plans for the future.

Love seeing FOUR @longjumpfund companies on the @ChicagoInno list of 24 Startups to Watch in 2024: @eventnoire, @hanahana_beauty, OrdrSmart, and Flora & Noor. We agree!

A few years ago, I discovered Hanahana Beaty (@hanahana_beauty) because I wanted shea butter (ethically and sustainably sourced, all-natural) for my daughter.

I went out and found the best – and then I invested.

[Brian Luerssen @bluerssen]

"And always remember, your voice matters—use it to shape your business and the community it serves." - love the advice from @kristensonday!

[Kristen Sonday @kristensonday]

Balancing personal + professional growth is hard, which is why I loved sitting down with @Cosmopolitan to put pen to paper on some of favorite advice.

We cover how to prep for meetings, balance deep work with one-offs, manage self-doubt, and more: https://t.co/YyjN5MWgNG
