Absolutely inspiring to hear from @kmlake this morning at @AforeVC's pre-seed summit. Representation problem in the VC world is real.

From Dr. Suess: “This,” cried the Mayor, “is your town’s darkest hour! The time for all Whos who have blood that is red To come to the aid of their country!” he said. “We’ve GOT to make noises in greater amounts! So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!” Please VOTE!

Finding the right investors is more about finding true believers and not convincing skeptics - great advice by @melodykoh during the @AllRaise seed bootcamp kickoff!

What an inspiring story! Go @onepeloton and John Foley! Peloton has been the best investment I have made for my health. I am a Pelotoner for life!
Peloton is a $20B compay. But CEO John Foley had trouble raising money in the early days. For years, thousands of investors told him no. This is the story of how he persisted, disrupting the fitness industry in the process. A thread 👇👇

My daughter's question for me today - we always hear about a woman being the "first woman" to do something. Can you give me examples where a woman was the first person to do something? Sharing the list I found for when your daughters wonder about this :). quora.com/What-are-some-thin…

We love you, founders!
Replying to @CindyXBi @mwseibel
For every company that I've started, my biggest enemy...was myself. Extremely loud self-sabotaging voices that said I wasn't good enough and should quit. Making a choice to overcome those voices, every day, was exhausting. I love each and every founder who makes that choice too.

Kamala is pronounced "comma-la." It means lotus flower, which is a super popular plant in India (the national flower!). Her mom Shyamala (stylishly pictured here) came to the US for her PhD at Berkeley, & fell in love with Donald while participating in the civil rights movement.

I don't really know how to say this, other than things just *work* when you're building something you're passionate about. Start building, you won't regret it.

The thing about riding to Latin music with @RobinNYC on Peloton is you just can't help but ride to the beat! 🚴‍♀️
