CONGRATS to this dynamic duo on launching @CollideCapital!! I am thrilled to share that my friends have closed a $66M Fund I.  This Black-led firm is connecting diverse founders w/ capital, talent, and support – guiding founders to what they need when they need it.
Breaking into VC is a challenge – even more so for marginalized groups. As two young Black founders, we are proud to share that @collidecapital has closed an oversubscribed $66M Fund I. S/O to @kenrickcai and @Forbes for sharing our story. 🙏🏾

Join me for @Reddit AMA in 30 min to discuss sustainability, Vietnamese coffee, robusta rising and @NguyenCoffeeNYC in celebration of #EarthDay2022 - LIVE at 1 - 3pm EST reddit.com/r/iama/
Hi @noshdotcom thank you so much for amplifying our milestone! Any chance you can correct our name in the headline? 😊 nosh.com/food-wire/2022/ngyu…
Excited to share @NguyenCoffeeNYC has raised $2.6M to continue building our sustainable coffee future via championing the resilient robusta bean! Vietnam is the #1 producer of robusta in the world — it’s a NGUYEN WIN situation!! dailycoffeenews.com/2022/03/…

Thought I'd share a mental framework I've been tinkering with... open to feedback and critique :)
For Web2 brands entering the Web3 space, I think you must fall somewhere on the spectrum of Web2 to Web3 branding and business model.
(short 🧵)
Who are some cool consumer VCs interested in Web3 right now?? I can't be the only one looking at brands!! A thesis is work-in-progress over at @consumer_dao.
CONSUMER INVESTORS SPECIFICALLY (CPG, consumer tech, consumer internet) - DM if you'd like to join or peep 👀

I want to further expand my knowledge of CPG, where is everyone reading and staying up to date on all things consumer, retail, DTC, eComm... really anything in the ecosystem
I’m going to compile this into a public list to share! So give me what you got 🙌
Great thread on DAO creation, excited to be on this journey!
I really think we're doing something unique with @consumer_dao as we strive to create a professional community that has hyper-focused conversations.
IMO we're rethinking how to:
• Design/curate membership
• Not just incentive, but COMPENSATE work
• Be accessible to all

CPG + Web3 friends, join us on this journey!!!!
Hey Consumer + Web3 Twitter, I'm putting together 3 workgroups for @consumer_dao working on:
• Consumer + Web3 Thesis
• Brand NFT Playbook
• Broader resource directory
DM me if you're interested in helping out. We have an ETH pool for comp + free NFT membership in :)

Today's CPG NFT projects primarily offer 3 value props:
• Promise of product/merch (crowdfunding model)
• Promise of value increase (investment model)
• Community (membership model)
Diving into these + potential new value props...

Thank you @CBS @NancyChenNews for the incredible storytelling on the RISE OF ROBUSTA!! Thorough segment about @NguyenCoffeeNYC with cameos of my friends, fam, team and supporters 🙏. We’re thrilled to be pushing the next wave of coffee elevating Vietnamese coffee & robusta beans!
Grab your hot cup of coffee for this next story! ☕
Coffee culture has transformed a mundane cup of joe into an elevated experience. Now, one company is adding a few other ingredients into the mix such as diversity, inclusion and sustainability.

When I started @NguyenCoffeeNYC 3 years ago, we proudly championed single origin Vietnamese ROBUSTA! A bean that has unfortunately been maligned and snubbed for decades by coffee professionals. (1/5)
We are truly pushing the “next wave of coffee”, one that’s rooted in diversity, sustainability and cultural integrity. If you wana read more after my Tweet, here’s my op-Ed on robusta & the future of coffee 😊: vietcetera.com/amp/en/vietna… (5/5)
