Take 30 seconds to spot the difference between these two photos. See a difference? I don't. Let me explain... 🚘 Driving is great, it gets us from A to B safely and gives us the freedom of the open road. But if you haven't taken lessons, there's no way you're getting anywhere comfortably or safely. 📲 Smartphones are the same. Creativity. Connection. Freedom of expression. They're incredible tools, but in the wrong hands and lack of education, you have every single bit of information in the world (and every person) at your fingertips. For kids and teens, this is a recipe for disaster. So, why aren't there lessons for smartphones and social media? Well, that's where we come in. Gamified education about social media for every child and parent. Stay tuned for our product launch in Q3 of this year, or work alongside us and join our pilot, kicking off later this month! DM for more details. 📥 You wouldn't hand car keys to a child without driving lessons, and it should be the same with smartphones. 🦊

"Opportunity #cost is the potential forgone profit from a missed opportunity—the result of choosing one alternative over another." Investopedia Imagine if we could quantify the opportunity cost to our economies, societies & the #environment of NOT investing in both #women Founders & in women led #VC Funds. Now that would grab some headlines! So many women, to this day in 2024, are still classed as a 'missed opportunity' with abundant potential to deliver greatness. And greatness we WILL deliver! The only way is UP! Lets make 2024 matter in changing the narrative to focus on the positives, the potential & the value of our contribution to this world. What a great way to start 2024 with this global collective of powerful women! Thank you Christopher Lafayette & GatherVerse for the opportunity to join next weeks #SheSummit!

2024 hot take: Investors are not supposed to be a-holes to be effective and founders do not have to take it. I was lucky enough to do the Launch founder university 2 day intense program and I’m screaming about it to every founder building a high growth startup. By the end of the two days - I came out thinking about how positively engaging the program is and how productive I felt the whole time. Side note: Biggest takeaway for me was TAM sizing- I struggled with this for so long , now I can do it in my sleep and have been helping others too , hmu 🤙 Jason Calacanis gives feedback on pitch decks in a concise, thoughtful manner with so much respect for the founder. This sounds like standard stuff but you would be shocked at how bad it is out there. I’ve seen adults be so horrible they make other adults cry during a pitch review ‼️ it’s always the ones who have never built anything btw. A lot of people in this eco system give feedback with a side of ego(especially to female founders) and its so frustrating having to filter it. The moment I get disrespectful behaviour from an investor , I mute that conversation almost immediately. Money can get very messy regardless of who you take it from, definitely don’t take it from messy partnerships.
