@Apple Very interested in the voice recognition capabilities. It’s been years and @alexa99 does not understand me > 50% of the time. @Apple have you tested the voice recognition on a diverse range of ppl?

VC Twitter…any suggestions for alternatives to twitter??

@modelvc Whoever says it’s monopoly money is also lying to you

Investing small checks in startups from a Roth IRA can be so powerful

An early @teachable investor invested $10K into our seed round from their Roth IRA

At exit, that was worth ~$200K and since it came from a Roth, the gain was entirely tax-free

I love the tidbits of info I'm exposed to on a weekly basis...I recently had to dive into the following question, ‘what are some ways to mitigate the macro risks of investing in LATAM?’

See below for some of the items I learned/considered to frame my answer...🧵

[Taylor @TBW_vc]

Caveat: this concept is controversial, yet noted here bc it is a mitigant...check out this piece by @AtlantaFed to learn more

6/ I hope this is assumed...but in the case it isn't...these are only general learnings and not at all exhaustive! + the first step is researching the economic environment and transaction market in a specific country and not treating a cross-continental region like a monolith.

5/ co-investors

Are there LATAM based VC firms invested in our portcos that we can tap? Insight from trusted partners already investing in the market is invaluable

[Taylor @TBW_vc]

@NWischoff @LM_Braswell I’d like to join as well!

[Taylor @TBW_vc]

This list is not at all exhaustive but hopefully somewhat helpful.

I had 6 vc/startup internships while in b-school and spent a ton of time attempting to source deals GPs at different firms would value...

🗣vc interns🗣 here’s what I learned the hard way, so you don't have to :)

These relationships can start as safe spaces to share your anxieties, frustrations, and accomplishments…and they can morph into sharing quality deal flow, professional opportunities, soft intros to LPs, actual friendships, i.e., an invaluable community.
