Building a startup is hard.
Takes more time than most expect.
Takes more learning than most expect.
Takes more failing than most expect.
Takes more grit than most expect.
Takes more optimism than most expect.
Just keep building and please keep going. – at Chicago, IL

i think a lot about how the best time to invest in a startup with a female founder is always, but esp. NOW.
we've never had the luxury to overhire, overspend, over-anything because <2% of VC funding goes to us. we've had to be frugal as hell and still deliver the goods.

Sometimes,in running a startup, if things are in a gridlock- best to ease up on things that make you wound up and focus on other areas that need attention. Then switch back. Fresh approach helps.
Constant hustle can wear you down.

On IWD, may I remind you:
- Maternal mortality is at a 20 yr high in the US
- Women earn $0.82 for every $1 a man makes
- Still no paid family leave in the US
- Female founders start 51% of US businesses but receive only 2% of VC
You can "support women" OR you can support women.

Stop saying “it’s so easy even my mom can do it.”
Moms aren’t dumb.
Women aren’t dumb.
Older people aren’t dumb.
Maybe your product is just hard to use.
