In digital health, there’s a divide between startups that go straight to B2B vs those that start with consumers before transitioning to enterprise contracts. IMHO nailing it with the consumer is often the first step to overcoming the all pervasive engagement problem down the road

@ChristineCarril Thanks Chris!

Liz is onto something here. The message to female founders is a resounding "BE MORE OUTWARDLY CONFIDENT" but it's more important to be your authentic self. And more sustainable.

[Liz Giorgi @lizgiorgi]

Let's talk about founder confidence:

Specifically, for women.

One of the reasons I believe female founders are underfunded in VC is that they have been programmed since birth not to be braggarts or "Crazy" - thus falling into the crazy woman trope.

Startups are a bet on the gap between what a market *could* be with the right product and what the market it *is* today. The wider the gap the better, which is why often the most underestimated startups become the biggest.

@acecallwood 😂😂😂 I want to see a video of this! I've honestly never seen someone do it.

[Sara Bates @data_bates]

@Theresa_Chapple @ellekaydubs This happened with my 3yo today ("Look at my HUGE poop!"), literally 3 mins before my call started. I was so relieved.... Clearly he was too 😂

[Sara Bates @data_bates]

@DataRiot Agreed!! I started late and wasn't sure if it would live up to the hype, but S1 was great and I'm loving S2 so far.

[Sara Bates @data_bates]

@RyanHVaughn Oof feeling this these days. So focused on the long-term huge market opportunity that it's hard to pay attention to the next step.
