Very likely to be hiding out in Sandhills. General partner at @provenventures. Sometimes helpful at @sandhillselixir, a zero proof spirit.

Entrepreneurs need control and optionality. Investors have more to offer than capital. ⁦@ProvenVentures⁩ https://t.co/Xks1PPu3Vo

Restocking is a complex puzzle for CPGs w/o tech-driven inventory mgmt. CPGs juggle multiple store locations, calculate reorder quantities manually, and ensure timely deliveries - all w/o real-time data.

Inefficiency gave rise to @beretailaware.

VC is not a monolith, yet we see it defined as such (from pre-seed to crossover).

This leads to incomplete analysis by LPs on the types of funds to back. Growth, large brands, and seed should be viewed as different asset cats w/unique risk/return/time to liq characteristics

Nearly 90% of senior care facilities face staffing challenges. The shortage of trained professionals puts a strain on the quality of care provided to residents.

Proud to back the Superb staffing sidekicks, helping solve this problem. https://t.co/pOS8HMbtCc

@keithfix a retail shelf-sensing device that helped CPGs manage inventory without having to send their distributor out to every store.... ;)

We want everyone to know about Nebraska's Sandhills, and keep them a secret. For @ruralnebraska Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities conference, we'll break our silence!

Join us Thurs. June 7 - Fri., June 8. Make a weekend of tubing and golfing after!

@SpartanJessica Hahaha what?!?

@NWischoff I typically have the confirmation bias that plagues men investing in men. I almost always want to invest in women, regardless of quality of biz. Proud the overwhelming majority of our capital has gone into female led teams. Have to use objective devices to gauge deal quality…

honestly think the number one thing that will kill companies over the next 6 months will be spending time/energy fundraising that would have been better spent generating revenue.

[samir kaji @Samirkaji]

2021 likely was the largest short-lived aberration in VC history, and everyone - LPs, founders, and fund managers - were complicit and incented for it.

Sobriety is definitely back, but it'll take time for everyone to unlearn what preceded 2022.

Nothing's gonna ever keep you down”

Adore this team for each and every reason, specifically tenaciously customer led AND lovely humans.

Ran into one of my favorites in the STL airport!

If you haven’t met Anousone, cofounder at https://t.co/F92bQgaW8t, you should.

He’s one of the best founders and humans I know!

[Erica Wassinger @EricaRS]

@darrenmarble Highly suggest leveraging the Sandhills for this… perhaps sneak some rounds in at Prairie Club and then fly fish Snake River.

[Erica Wassinger @EricaRS]

@TheCPAMann @JStaatsCPA Oddly I think many of the scare tactics are in our own minds.

“I’ll damage my reputation.”
“This will put my family at risk.”
“Who would hire me if this fails?”

And don’t get me started on all the ways people implicitly or explicitly say women shouldn’t or can’t start up…

What would accessible, affordable healthcare benefits packages mean for the national rate of entrepreneurship?
