I decided to turn my thread into a medium article I just published How Desperation Drove Me to Use Twitter to take 1,128 Meetings to Raise the First $3M of RareBreed… link.medium.com/mLN89B4Jgqb
I recently read another Medium article about you and I must say your personal story is so impressive! I imagine it's quite rare that such altruism aligns with VC work. You are a diamond in the rough! This was it, btw: medium.com/swlh/emerging-…
Storytelling matters when raising capital. Investors want not only a good story... but also a coherent one. The strongest narratives are backed by facts, figures, and evidence that hold up under diligence. A good story gets attention. A durable story survives scrutiny. That’s…

I miss when pitch emails were bad in a human way. Now so many are just prompts with a send button. At this point, just send me the prompt. It’d be more honest.
Venture capital involves the daily practice of envisioning the future And supporting the ideas that can bring it to life
There is so much untapped talent in Africa. I recently met an exceptional young man who chose not to go to college, leveraged @YouTube to learn viral digital marketing, grew several @tiktok_us pages to hundreds of thousands of followers, has nearly 1B views across his channels,…

Diligence means combing through a business in detail: financial model, bank trails, contracts, and day-to-day operations. Early stage deal rooms aren't perfect, but should display rigor. Some red flags: Financial Model: Projections are not enough. Map driver-based unit…
ATTENTION FOUNDERS: An early-stage VC is spelling out what you need to provide in your startup's Financials. No Excuses After This!

Most progress in building doesn’t come from big wins. It comes from continuous systems iteration until things don't break. Every fix compounds. Every cleaner process adds capacity. If you keep reducing friction, growth becomes inevitable.
I wonder, in all sincerity, if a growth opportunity is jiu jitsu schools. here's why: I have to brain my daughter's hair for jj and it's bad. it's a legit problem in schools, and a loose ponytail is still more risky. tight braids, usually two interlocking ones, are ideal. idk…

I'v been asked: “Why would you invest in a wig company?” The truth is — @TheRenatural isn’t a wig company. It’s a deep tech beauty manufacturer transforming how wigs are made. When I first met @aasiyahjasmine a few years ago at a pitch competition at Harvard, she shared her…
