@KingdumOfJaames @rissadee @claudzyfbaby @Almasi_ Hey, it has been a couple of years since I’ve played, what platform are you using?

[Valerie @valamore]

I must admit, we are getting good at pitching our startup.

[Valerie @valamore]

Making great strides in validating our business idea.

[Valerie @valamore]

Yesterday my-cofounder and I pitched our startup in a local pitch competition. The experience was great for us and we are still riding high on how well we did. My takeaways: 2 minutes to pitch is not very long. You have to be concise and know your stuff.

[Valerie @valamore]

Met with our mentor today to practice our pitch. Our first run went great. #makingprogress

@kinnycups I love your work.

@asferna2810 Very interesting, I’m in no way the mastermind.

[Valerie @valamore]

Since joining Clubhouse I’ve been approached with coaches asking me to join their masterminds. Are Masterminds worth the time and effort?

[Valerie @valamore]

@theothercole Thanks for the feedback. I agree with the bad actors. As an early- stage co-founder of a startup with a limited network, the idea of joining is intriguing.

I discovered an amazing room on clubhouse called Flower Bomb Friday’s. First time listening in but I couldn’t have tuned in on a better Friday. Hearing the room give Frank Ocean 🌸’s warmed my soul. #FlowerBombCH #chillvibes

[Valerie @valamore]

I’ve been on @joinClubhouse heavily for about 2 months and I’ve found tremendous value here, especially as a startup founder. Always finding gems.

~$150B VC funding went to U.S. startups in 2020.

Only 0.67% of that went to Black-founded startups.

Pro tip, ad industry. #DiversityAndInclusion does NOT mean casting Black/of color talent in your #SuperBowl ads. It means hiring, welcoming, promoting, paying, bonusing, championing Black/of color talent so THEY write these ads, approve these ads, direct these ads #3percentsb

Climate change is real.
