🙏🏽 The Tulsa massacre happened 100 years ago today. The group that was never charged, murdered 300 lives, destroyed 1,250 homes and burned dozens of Black owned businesses including Black Wall Street. Tulsa laid the foundation for Harlem and many other cities. We thank you!

Junior investors: Push your seniors to expose and train you on legal docs post the term sheet as it will be key as a Partner. Many firms won’t give you access or fully outsource to counsel. You can’t do deals if you don’t close them. Become a master of deals, that includes legal

Getting your company in front of the ‘right’ team member at VC funds does matter. Each has a slightly different interest for types of deals. You can’t always figure out what that is, but it can really help if you can. So here’s our current team interest 👇🏽
