Spent 2 weeks in LA. Got back to Phoenix. Took an important step with my startup. Also had some less exciting developments. If you're a startup founder, you can relate.

Found(H)er Mind - 24. The one time I had $200 on my bank account
play

07/04/23 • 8 min

I've never talked about it publicly. $200 on my account. No savings. My visa running out in 3 weeks. My rent late. They say it's darkest just before the dawn. That's what it felt like. And that's when I learned to get comfortable with chaos.

Found(H)er Mind - 23. How I vet a VC fund in 10 minutes
play

05/07/23 • 8 min

Fundraising isn't about quantity as much as it is about quality. Instead of "spray and pray", I spend 10 minutes vetting each fund. Here's how I decide who to talk to - and who not to waste time on.


Shoutout to Eniac Ventures that I used as an example.

Found(H)er Mind - 22. When an investor dreams with you
play

05/03/23 • 6 min

In their hearts and on their websites they want to invest in visionary startups. But in reality, few investors can identify one. The masses see the reality only after you've built it. But how do you recognize an investor that can actually dream with you?

Apparently two months is a long time to stay in one place. For me. So when an opportunity knocks, you bet I pack my bags and go! Definitely returning back to LA but first a little more adventuring.
