Supporting entrepreneurship for all @TheNiceCenter @NDSU. Previously at Annie Capital. Believer in the power of women and big ideas. Favorite title is Mom.
This is a stunning number. $650,0000. That’s housing for years and years. Multiple college educations. A path to retirement. Just gone. https://t.co/HW67rZwHj0
On the one hand, I'm happy the @sevensevensix teardown of our 2% Growth & Caregiving commitment has gotten so much gas around the industry. On the other hand, I'm disappointed this fairly basic policy is such a big step forward for VC. More to do.

Incredible milestone today on @thenicecenter’s path to 95x25.
With this pilot, we’re reimagining what students can accomplish with real-time assessment, community, and the agency to start what they want.
Can’t wait to see the ideas launched!
We did it! @thenicecenter officially launched our online, on-demand entrepreneurship course to our pilot cohort. https://t.co/bDwmHm8cyX
Huge thanks to @KodeeFurst, Kylee&Christian, @Bazzaruto & the @beondeck#ODCC1 crew for help and inspiration.
More to share but now: 🍻
Closing Women's History Month wrestling with the headlines of the last year.
- over 2 mil women left workforce
- lost ground on progress of global gender parity
- VC funding for solo female founders down 22%
Reminding myself hope has two daughters - anger & courage. A🧵:
There isn't an easy answer. But, we can start w/ the courage to ask the hard questions we have control over.
-Are we spending $$$ telling people how committed we are to equity, but budget doesn't reflect that?
-Whose voices are we amplifying?
-What are we rewarding?
.@thenicecenter is introducing entrepreneurship to 95% of ND students.
We’re a team of 2 - s/o @KodeeFurst.
That’s why we are launching Nice Corps - Peace Corps for entrepreneurship.
We need 6 members to help this fall. Who should we get? Tag/share!

Ouch, a 22% drop is not what we're aiming for, folks.
"Funding to venture-backed companies founded solely by female entrepreneurs DROPPED 22 percent during the pandemic year." reports @geneteare at @crunchbasenews

Can you help with an experiment?
@thenicecenter is launching an Intro to #Entrepreneurship course. It's online, on-demand, & counts for dual credit (high school + college credit).
We are looking for our beta cohort to start in mid-April. Who should we talk to?
Celebrated ten incredible Digital Impact Fellows today. Energized by their spirit of generosity, collaboration and talent. So fun to see community show up to support students with a mission to make the world a little better.
In January, 10 Digital Impact Fellows said yes to an idea and to making a difference. I've been inspired by their creativity and blown away by their talent. Join us tomorrow for an hour of story-telling to learn about their impact! https://t.co/qOTJkeXJgo
Last night, we celebrated our Social Entrepreneurs and welcomed the Women's Entrepreneur Cohort! Incredible to see the work done over the last three months to grow impact & proud to support founders tackling hard problems. @thenicecenter @HighImpactInst @emergingprairie
Excited to share our moonshot @thenicecenter!
By 2025, we aim to introduce 95% of ND high school and college students to entrepreneurship.
We welcome your intros, ideas, and collaborations to help us get there.
Let’s inspire the next great creators in our state. 🚀
My students @thenicecenter have the opportunity to earn $1,000 over 10 weeks. If they make it, they don't take the final.
