To those who claim to ‘support' but never act—who don’t engage, don’t help, who mistake lack for life: I see you. The universe rewards giving, not holding back. Open your hands, and abundance flows. Stagnation is a choice.
I pray you learn that lesson and join us. ❤️✨

writing checks to underestimated founders is ALWAYS in season! #GiveFirst #investing #angelinvesting #impactinvesting #econdev

#VC friends, if you're actively writing checks to overlooked/under-represented founders, please share your thesis.

#Founders, if you're overlooked/under-represented & are raising, tell us what problem you're solving, for whom, & why you're solving it.

Let's make some connections.

🗣 ATTN STARTUP FOUNDERS

If the first time you meet an investor, you ask them for money, you failed.

Instead of trying to raise capital, you must raise relationships and build trust, which takes time.

#fundraising #vc #startups #GiveFirst

Yeah, Brad Feld is great for this stuff. I like this way of putting it:

" It’s explicitly called #GiveFirst and not #TellMeWhatICanDoToHelpYou to stimulate you – the giver – to do the work to figure out what is helpful."

Have grace for early stage, overlooked founders Shared with Zight

If you claim to hold space for early-stage, overlooked founders, please remember that they may be dealing with stressors you can't imagine, and give them grace.

Your grace could make all the difference in the 🌎 to them & help them be more successful.

Techstars has been one of the most circular economies I’ve participated in.
I’ve seen #techstarsmentors become mentees…mentees become mentors…and many incredible humans rotate through these roles repeatedly.

And it all hangs neatly on one generative concept: #GiveFirst

#BeKinderThanNecessary created billions in value at @duosec by removing barriers to brilliance, and grounding us in gratitude. It’s also the ethos of our #MichiganFoundersFund - founders helping founders, founders for community https://speakerdeck.com/dugsong/midwest-mavericks #givefirst
