True Investor @Clarence_Bethea recently spoke at the Yale Black Venture Summit about authenticity on the VC journey. He and @abdulsiciid, Sherrise Pond, and @TheConsumerVC explored the importance of being yourself and leaning into your strengths so the right people can find you.

When you meet someone who dreams bigger than you, a good idea is to go into business with them. ✨

@philip_ruffini I've been hosting 25-30 person dinner parties for VCs/LPs. Would love to compare notes!

[Christian McKenzie @TheConsumerVC]

Thanks @Nichjonez for supporting the launch event! There will be many more to come in 2024 ✨💫!

Partnered with @TheConsumerVC last night for a great evening. Brought out some amazing folks in the space (Mostly VCs & LPs). Christian’s super power is connecting like minded people 🫶🏽💅🏻. Lots of laughs, energy, and real conversations.

@kaleighf 1. Read the speaker & guest list in advance. Set up coffee dates or host a dinner party with the ones that you are most interested in meeting.

2. Take time to thank the organizers for inviting you and offer your support for future events.

3. Post / tag everyone you met.

Stop wasting your time in spaces that do not value you.

[Christian McKenzie @TheConsumerVC]

This is important. We do exist and this must be changed.

@steph_manning07 An indestructible tumbler from #bwivc. I’ve dropped it while hiking in Cabo 🏖️. Not a single scratch.
