In 2018, #MovingForward launched to tackle the power imbalance between founders and VCs—bringing transparency, reporting tools, and real protections. 7 years later, we reflect on what we've built together, give thanks, and wind down. Read our full post: https://t.co/qJaayutJJI

I just discovered that an op-ed I wrote in my @MovingForwardVC days made an appearance in @AnitaHill's book.

Hill is one of my heroes. My article is from 2019, her book from 2021. It's taken me years to find the reference.

We never know who our work may be shaping.

Founders, what other social impact factors influence your choice of VCs?

Every year founders who have experienced sexual harassment reach out to our team @MovingForwardVC seeking advice. So this year, we published a guide to serve them: https://t.co/phw2Ux5Ucr

Grateful for @allyrosecoll’s expert eye on the guide and the partnership of @campaign_purple

Entrepreneurs, you have support if you are harassed by investors! Wish I had this resource when I was a young entrepreneur raising money. None of the things that happened to me should ever happen to you, but if they do, contact @movingforwardVC. Tx @ginnyfahs for creating this!

4/4 The Weinstein Clause requires social due diligence before striking a deal. This could mean requiring all firms that invest in your company have a publicly-available anti-harassment / anti-discrimination policy. The VCs who have joined #MovingForward are great examples

🚨 Founders 🚨

"What policies will smooth collaboration with investors and set you up to grow your business and working relationship?"

We put together a gallery to help you implement policies to enhance equity and fairness during fundraising. 👇

"How should I update my harassment / discrimination policy for remote work?"

We've been getting this question from a lot of VCs. @rachelhchiu wrote up some recommendations 👇
