[Noah Kagan @noahkagan]

On an amazingly positive note, the company gave every employee $1+ million dollars after the sale.

$100+ million total!

@JoshuaOgundu In Africa you can find many communities where people speak three local languages. This kind of thing is well documented throughout history. it’s not just in Europe that this happens. It’s specifically American to not learn many languages.

[Stephanie Tavares @StephGTavares]

@JoshuaOgundu Because learning multiple languages did not start with colonization? Why do we only use American or colonial history as out frame of reference in the US. In multicultural communities people learn multiple languages. You can say Americans don’t specifically because of racism.

[Stephanie Tavares @StephGTavares]

This is the kind of behavior I would like to prevent with https://t.co/2qYSXVO5lL. I’m from Rhode Island there’s great diversity in our state and I definitely grew up in a bubble unaware of how racist some people are here.

@DiWiart @TheBreado @sweatystartup Neither of you know what African and Caribbean artists sing or listen to African American music in depth for this to be your hot take

“Diversity Advocate” in bio LOL

[Renata Merino 👠👠👠 @renatamerinobb]

Founders who are working a full time job and doing the startup thing on the side aren’t ready to speak to VCs. In my mind that’s friends & family round. Quit your job. Sorry guys. Many of us sacrifice that paycheck to do what we love. You need to be serious.

My success means nothing if my family and friends are not right there with me! I have been doing a lot of reflection on that as I have moved far away from them it’s been a difficult year but I’m glad I’ve been able to support even from afar

[Stephanie Tavares @StephGTavares]

@kieranblanks @teneikaask_you 😊 thanks!

[Stephanie Tavares @StephGTavares]

@JesseRising Likewise always down for a great conversation and hearing different perspectives!

[Stephanie Tavares @StephGTavares]

I hope this is sarcasm

[Shawn Gorham @shawngorham]

I have a couple friends who are trust fund kids

Not stupid rich. But a 1 time gift of $2mm to buy a house and $40k a month income ($500k a year)

This is So Cal, it’s not a crazy amount of money.

I’ll be honest - looks like a pretty good lifestyle to me.

[Stephanie Tavares @StephGTavares]

@JesseRising Also not everyone wants to most people just want to enough ti take care of themselves and their family and enjoy life! You don’t need $500k for that I like the European lifestyle approach of working to live

[Stephanie Tavares @StephGTavares]

@JesseRising I do agree Anyone can there’s many opportunities today but not everyone can is also something we need to keep in perspective.

[Stephanie Tavares @StephGTavares]

@JesseRising Lmfao I mean I like it 😂

[Stephanie Tavares @StephGTavares]

@JesseRising They have freedom of time, comprehensive medical life home insurance, a paid home, and I’m sure there’s more so that is considered wealthy in almost every definition that exists

[Stephanie Tavares @StephGTavares]

@JesseRising I am not saying there cannot be more wealth out there those people are even stupider richer if that’s a word lol it doesn’t change that you are rich because someone else may have more?

[Stephanie Tavares @StephGTavares]

@JesseRising My tweet was in reference to that particular situation $500k a year $2 mil dollar home. I think you are to withstand most trajedies and crosses with the basics covered hence why I said this person is indeed stupid rich. Lifestyle creep and investment risks
