Overnight success is very rarely ever that, overnight. It’s years of working hard that’s finally been met with luck.

VC Carry Valuation Model🪄
Just joined VC or negotiating a VC offer? It’s important to understand how to value your carry allocation in the fund(s). What does your xx% carry mean in $$$?
Let me run you through how it works🧵

My diligence process revealed
heard from @jamisonh tonight in class - some key learnings:
⭐️ the heartbeat test ⭐️ - does the founder make your heart beat faster?
⭐️ the time test ⭐️ - have you looked at the clock, and are you 10 minutes into the meeting or 10 minutes over the scheduled meeting time ending?

If you don’t own at least 500+ domains for random startup ideas are you really an entrepreneur?

💡a mentor recently told me that "busy people are always busy but they always have time."
great advice to remember as you think about (1) making time for the important people in your life, and (2) reaching out to people who you think are "too busy" for you.

I'm following way too many dudes. Who are some killer female thought leaders in the startup ecosystem I can follow to balance things out?

Who are the VCs & founders innovating in future of work that I should follow?

I have a friend who wanted a job at a top VC. They wouldn’t take her candidacy seriously
She started a small fund and stayed focused on her founders. 3 years later she beat that same top VC firm in a hot deal
Many people will underestimate you. Find a way to prove them wrong

When I started in VC there was no community for Black Women investors. So I started one! In little over a year we went from 4 to 40+! Excited for what's to come in 2022 for Black Women in VC (BWiVC)!
Interested in joining/connecting, DM me or any of the women👇🏾! #BWiVC
