US women earned an average of 82% of what men earned in 2022, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis. That’s just a slight uptick from the 80% women earned relative to men 20 years before, in 2002. @MorningBrew

@ouraring I ordered a ring and it’s the wrong size. You have no customer service phone number and don’t reply to my emails. Please help?! Thanks!

[Nancy Fechnay @NancyFechnay]

@danhightower 🤣 A well crafted and thoughtful cold email from a founder building a co in my thesis always gets a response. A generalist cold email that works for every investor on a spreadsheet - unlikely to catch an investors attention. 🤷‍♀️

@ali_bonar Has anyone done it while living in Austin? Curious if people like Kind Body…

[Nancy Fechnay @NancyFechnay]

@ali_bonar I’m doing it again this year. Did it when I was younger too. Get at least 20 good quality eggs if you want 2 kids. I feel like not all doctors tell you the drop off rate!

#hiring our next cohort of #interns to Unique Ventures. We’d love to bring on a diverse group. The 6-month part-time program provides intense training in how to be an Associate at a VC firm. It’s great for anyone interested in breaking into venture, particularly world positive…

@briannekimmel @steph_palazzolo I’m obsessed with both!

[Nancy Fechnay @NancyFechnay]

@steph_palazzolo Haha I’m a VC, play pickle 1-2 times/wk and an advisor to a group purchasing an MLP team. What’s up?

[Nancy Fechnay @NancyFechnay]

@stephmui Well put! 😆

@davehendricks Feels like an invasion of privacy :( I’d much prefer the time/effort be put in2 vettin4 VCs who invest in their sector instead of cold calling 10 who don’t. I’m big supporter of founders - I am one! - but I’d b shocked to learn that a cold call has turned into an check ever

[Nancy Fechnay @NancyFechnay]

Just got my first founder cold call… when I asked how he got my number he said his assistant… can anyone tell me why this seems like a good idea to call a VC cold? Rather than spending the time to get a warm intro or perhaps take the time to do your homework on the investor …

Proud to be an investor in SCiFi! 90% fewer emissions compared to a beef burger. https://t.co/QwTi6TVfyI

“In many ways what we’re doing with cultivated beef is electrifying the cow.”

Great piece in Fast Company covering the publication of an LCA comparing the ⁦@eatscifi⁩ burger with conventional beef—reducing emissions by almost 90% https://t.co/d5JDv0UvgS

[Nancy Fechnay @NancyFechnay]

Does the investor invest in your space and sector? If a founder finds my email and has researched me - knows that I only invest in US based positively impact cos - then I always take the time to reply. But 9/10 they aren’t in my geo or sector
