Walked by WFH husb today and LOL this is how he was working at his desk
- Omg just walked by our small home office to say hi to WFH husband. LOL what did he wear to work today ?!
- Just talked with a founder late in her seed process - she'd been trying to get an intro to us and "finally got one." We wish we'd met earlier - so for the record, we read & try to respond to all cold inbound. You don't need a warm intro to @CowboyVC. Just email [email protected]!
- despite so many studies showing diverse teams get better results, still sooo many all-male founding teams (going thru decks this am). Seems like cos w more diversity on board will have easier recruiting, fundraising, success in the future. Here's to more balanced teams ahead!
- Taking a day to be sad, angry & exhausted. My parents are scared to walk outside while Asian. Shootings are back. Misogny & racism. White privilege. Too many dead & suffering. It's OK to feel tired & sad. If this is also you, sending you so much 💗 🙏😢 & support.
- People were asked to name women tech leaders. They said “Alexa”, “Siri” :(. Of the 8.3% who said they could, only 4% actually could. If u care about equality & gender issues - please learn the names of women in tech.
- So many in good humans in my life are working thru impt stuff - a sick parent, mourning a parent, child w health issues, marriage or $$ challenges. A good reminder that folks we encounter every day may dealing with s.t. we can't see - & to be kind and give grace when we can 💝
- Just asked husb if tonight he can look at bike's flat tire, he asked me if i created a jira ticket. This WFH thing is making things so weird at home
- Wrote some thoughts about how a nice coincidence (diet change) seems to have solved a longtime health issue (sleep!) and about the brain/gut connection. Hope you'll check it out - would love to know what you think! cowboy.vc/blog/ .
- Request for Startups (RFS): would love to meet new services + brands targeting babyboomer & Gen X women. Feels like a very large, underserved mkt - and in particular, new brands leveraging tech & digital to help women w with peri-menopause and menopause. Pls send! :)
- "The evidence is clear: Diversity significantly improves financial performance on measures such as profitable investments at the individual portfolio-company level and overall fund returns" @AllRaise hbr.org/2018/07/the-ot… thx @msquinn for the read!
- Hey folks - we made it to another friday, hope you are doing ok. My crazy WFH husb wore the weirdest outfit to work today... don't know how he typed, but it seemed to work fine for zooms (sorry am posting so late, work schedule issues). Stay healthy and hope to see you monday!
