The way we invest doesn't work for everyone. The few entrepreneurs who tap formal capital are often stuck with equity or debt. There's a movement to invest differently – @villagecapital & @sexandstartups are helping to define what that looks like. Read on: https://t.co/amUoZwAHeD

I’ve been off Twitter for awhile now but can’t stay off it if a good friend like @sherryhakimi is subject to state-sponsored threats and harassment because of her vocal support for basic human rights. Standing with you, Sherry.

[Sherry Hakimi @sherryhakimi]

1/ I will have more thoughts to share later – but since Friday, I have been subject to a vicious coordinated campaign of hate, harassment, and threats.

We’re thrilled to partner with @buildwithbia to launch Resource and build a community practice around these ecosystem leaders.

We can’t wait for you to get to know our 2021 cohort.

Startup investing has a diversity problem: Black, Latinx, and Indigenous founders combined receive less than 10% of startup funding.

Resource is a nationwide project to support and connect entrepreneur support organizations (ESOs) led by and focused on founders of color (Thread)

[Rob Tashima @robtashima]

Looking for good people who want to do good work to support good founders scaling good solutions.

Tell ‘em Kat sent you.

[Rob Tashima @robtashima]

Really grateful we once again have whip-smart people like Jalina Porter representing this country in positions like @StateDeputySPOX.

[Women of Color Advancing Peace and Security @WCAPSnet]

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Everyday this month, WCAPS will be highlighting Black women who have served as pillars for their communities.

Today, we highlight WCAPS Member Jalina Porter who serves as the @StateDeputySPOX!

@AllieB I feel this tweet deeply. [refreshes feed]

[🦓 Zebras Unite 🦓 @Zebras_Unite]

Also of interest is our Alternative Capital Taxonomy co-authored by @ajscholz & @robtashima of @villagecapital https://t.co/dvavMln3Oe and @aunnie’s forthcoming book. The alternatives are indeed exciting. The roadblocks to bringing them to market & educating entrepreneurs are 🤯

Social media is whipping all of us into a frenzy and everybody needs to calm the fuck down.

@dog_rates This is Freyja, and no, she doesn’t like Mondays.

1/ HUGE NEWS: The SEC announced changes to the definition of who an “accredited investor” (effective in ~60 days)

(Not to give us all the credit but we’re in the press release w/ Republic VP @brandontalk 😉)

Quick thread below on what’s changing!

Just had an incredible breakthrough on the book! Check out my early-stage financing spectrum. Debt, Equity & Grants are primary colors. The structures' colors = type of capital they blend. Would love comments! @ajscholz @Zebras_Unite @tylertringas @Lewwwk @WorkMJ @lolitataub

[Tyler Tringas @tylertringas]

A tiny thing that could do a lot of good for diversity of fund managers (if others join): for our next fund, I’m not committing to any level of “GP commit” and will do the work to explain to LPs why that’s okay. Let me explain

[Monique Woodard @MoniqueWoodard]

@jewelmelanie @MindaHarts @collab_capital I was talking to someone at a foundation this morning about how GP commit + fund setup costs + $0 salary for 1-2 years impacts fund size and also keeps fund managers who don’t have personal or generational wealth out of the game entirely.
