Demo Day, it's time to do better. 🙏🏾YC is GREAT for many. It's a rainmaker. I HUSTLE to help founders get in! But the hard truth is that a key reason YC diversity stats + overall returns are not improving is that YC has no current FT women investing partners.

Just a friendly venture capital reminder that the main way to get into oversubscribed deals is to not ask the founder if they are pregnant. 🤰🏼🦄🍼

If you are a founder from an EMERGING MARKET who is raising money this week from Silicon Valley VCs (hello at

No one really knows where the bus filled with World Cup winners will go. There’s a sea of people eager to celebrate with the Argentina squad but unclear how they will get there. There are now rumors they may put players in helicopters.

Data show women *investing* partners are 2-3X more likely to invest in women. Data from

Same. But if you’re a woman.
If you're building a disruptive company, my goal is to be your first check.
You don't need a product. You don't need revenue. You don't even need a legal entity yet.
I'll invest in the right person going after the right market.
