@paulbz Agree! One of my favourite values is "assume the best"

[Kristen Shannon (she/her) @kshanbridge]

@paulbz No!!! I stopped using the standard smiley face because I found out that was passive aggressive. Don't take the thumbs up too!

Most exciting bit of this rebrand - getting to see that #slack icon change!

As most founders will know, at the beginning, you’re rushing to get a prof. looking brand out to make up for those letter heads and presentations. As the company has grown we’ve focused more on what we stand for and how we present ourselves.

@epatt6 Agree! We do this for ops and sales/marketing teams but it is so needed for product teams as well!

I remember going to a workshop on networking for women in my first job and the top tips were things like "make sure your purse isn't messy looking." 🤦‍♀️ These tips are much better!

Working with startups in Cheltenham we meet companies in Bristol, Gloucester and surrounding areas. Interesting to see more West of England companies are recognised as scale-ups but wonder how many are tech based. There is a lot more growth potential here

Europe has some of the best research institutions globally but founding startups is hard. If organisations reach scale-up, founders look to the US/ rest of world for funding. Deep-tech founders need support to shape their narratives/ pitches, but they also just need more funding

So important to get more women in the pipeline if we are going to build out a meaningful "tech ladder"

Here’s how #womenintech can break the bias and be their own advocates https://t.co/2phTyrPGWT #diversity #futureofwork

[Kristen Shannon (she/her) @kshanbridge]

Good news for the US deep tech ecosystem. Hope this new investment will help bridge the gap from research funding to larger commercial rounds. It will only be successful if it can also act as a connector to later stage funds and help companies not get stuck at a seed🌱

@kathdawson @Forbes Great read. I often see orgs get to stage 4 when growing pains emerge and throw them off track. How about you?

Report: 94% of #WomeninTech say they’re held to a higher standard than men https://t.co/iYyyoPUbHN #leadership

[Kristen Shannon (she/her) @kshanbridge]

@kathdawson @StartupNation So crucial and will become even more so as we continue to see the economy contracting and funding tightening
