for other research-driven people out there, lmk if i missed anything. overall, had such a fun time sharpening my research + writing skills & hope to do this again soon.

p.s. founders building in the alt lending space: let's chat! VWV would love to learn more from you 😊

@VanWickleV has finally published our first deep dive on alternative lending! 💸 had so much fun diving into this space & learning about its history, drivers, opportunities + risks: https://t.co/YZEnJALEKO

- always think about your target audience. VWV writes for students curious to learn about emerging tech, which we kept in mind when deciding on the content, complexity, + verbosity of our deep dive. are you writing for investors? aspiring founders + operators?

🌪 What a wild & invigorating 10 weeks with our 16th intern class!

From spearheading research reports to diving deep into diligence, our 6 interns (+2 fellows) absolutely crushed it this season. We can't wait to see the amazing things they go on to do 🚀

🧵 i created a @BrownUniversity class centered around diversity-focused & diversity-led early stage investing! ⭐

[cécile tang 唐嘉漪 @cecilextang]

in fact, not all early-stage business SHOULD seek venture funding. see this great tweet by @hpierrejacques on other avenues that young businesses can take to secure financing: https://t.co/JrOOROgPCj

[Henri Pierre-Jacques @hpierrejacques]

A company that isn’t venture backable, is still financially backable

We’ve created two flaws
1) Young companies are now all called ‘startups’, implying they are tech focused when most aren’t

2) We pushed all young companies towards VC, when most shouldn’t raise venture
