@BerkInnovation @MassCEC @Sola_Block @IdleSmart Great companies, all!

So proud of ground breaking for @CICS College of Computer Science ⁦@UMassAmherst⁩

@JSC0ifman @mirajacob @vrbo That used to be true and they were quite supportive of owners. But with Expedia owning them, they have become as bad as Airbnb. I am locked out of my owners account and they won’t let me in. All I wanted to do was return some money to a guest who had problems.

[Kate Putnam @KatePutnamMA]

@vrbo do you ever plan to let me into my owner’s account again? or are you just trying to fail the people who booked it and to whom I cannot respond?

[Kate Putnam @KatePutnamMA]

@Computershare If I could get that info out of you, I would but your staff has been completely uncooperative. Your treatment of US shareholders is unconscionable.

[Kate Putnam @KatePutnamMA]

@alanjope Can you do something to get me a dividend check denominated in $$? Or a stock certificate so I can sell my shares in Unilever. Computershare is about the worst shareholder service company imaginable.

[Kate Putnam @KatePutnamMA]

@JetBLue 8s sitting on my money, won’t let me have it or use it and thinks I should spend 3 hours on hold. What part of this is most insane?

@PreetBharara is Elizabeth worse than Adam Naumann who also deceived investors or Travis Kalanik or others? I wonder if she is guilty of being a Female playing a man’s fame.

Many ecosystem builders are on the brink and ecosystem building as a field is perilously close to going off the rails if we don’t get support. cc @turoczy @JoeMaruschak @pdxmitch @Montero @entrep_thinking

This. Whole. Thread. It’s time for more than recognition, it’s time for action. Segregation by race & class is real & the impacts are harmful. We can do better together @MassGovernor @EricLesser @AdamGomezMA @rsullivanWMEDC @CFWM413 @WomensFundWMass @CynthiaSimison @PVPlanning

[Kate Putnam @KatePutnamMA]

A VC team to meet!
