I’ve seen some great water stickers as an investor, and I’ve seen some really bad ones. I’ll let you decide where this one fits. @VenturesHG #aguainvesting

Thank you #Max from @Ivy_Ventures for sharing real examples of what NOT to do in a pitch deck… (1) take liberties with your background that are inconsistent with a google search (2) use taglines full of meaningless jargon (3) reference death repeatedly 🤣🤣. #concept2commerce

My Motor subscription was so incredibly valuable for me (and my husband) to learn what I liked and did not in driving an EV - a huge financial decision for our family. We just stopped our subscription and bought the car that was right for us - not one of the two we had reserved

First diligence trip of 2023 for ⁦@VenturesHG⁩. I never tire of watching the wonderful engineering that enables humans to fly, nor of visiting #sustainable startups outside the “traditional” tech hubs.

Make sure your market size is substantial to differentiate yourself in green tech. Don’t be niche

Diligence is currently intense. No joke. Be incredibly prepared - anticipate going deep on each set of questions. Don’t start the raise until preparation is complete
Capital is flowing strongly to batteries, hydrogen, water, waste (the last 3 incredibly critical to Europe)

I also learned about @highalpha PortCo @BolsterTalent - a marketplace for Board and exec talent. I have so many operators, experts, good people in my network that would make powerful independent board members. Sign up!!
