@hpierrejacques@PeterJ_Walker A very important call out for the increased impact on diverse founders. Absolutely need to focus efforts on access and to capital here.
Last but not least this quarters spotlight focused on Crypto and Blockchain company formation between 2015-2022. The data reveals emerging hubs in Los Angeles, CA, Miami, FL, Sheridan, WY, Austin, TX, and Atlanta, GA. Should out to @ijakemendel our resident expert.
Lots of hot takes right now on where early stage startups and VCs are at on funding, valuations, and more.
Well, here's first party data from @AngelList + @SVB_Financial based on thousands of early stage startups in Q3 + my own takes. Here we go 🔥😨

Not sure who needs to hear this...it's okay to give yourself some grace and space. It's okay to say no to inbounds and requests. You're not letting anyone down if you're not recharging and pouring nutrients into yourself.
Learned something new today…the sport of Goalball (https://t.co/Vwg2ahiEoY) as I sit after a long day seeking inspiration and dove headlong into the #Paralympics and cannot stop watching.
@sriramkri Just had a founder give the only available sliver of a top-tier led Series A to two angels who were net new and adding value from the sidelines well above and beyond existing seed investors. Value and engagement driving access!
@TheValuesVC Love this concept! Any insight on how to balance value instead of just pure volume? Focus on outcomes? Or is the focus on the behavior training typically adequate?
