Something is happening in pre-seed / seed that I think needs to be amplified more.
The gap between pre-seed and seed is getting large.

Excited to be cooking up something for @nextplayso in Chicago with @longjumpfund. Since moving into pre-seed, I've realized how many awesome opportunities there are early stage that I was completely oblivious to prior and can't wait to create some connections w/ Chicago talent.
Grateful to everyone building and organizing next play with us around the world @bremmorris, @danallon, @danschreter, @pavithran_pc, @saharfyi, @davidquirinq, @DanielleJing, @tinahrabak, and more ✨

LongJump wouldn't exist without Techstars Chicago. We're sad to see the city program leaving, but we wanted to write a bit of a thank you to @Techstars, sharing some of the history & impact, as well as our plans for the future.

A few years ago, I discovered Hanahana Beaty (@hanahana_beauty) because I wanted shea butter (ethically and sustainably sourced, all-natural) for my daughter.
I went out and found the best – and then I invested.

"And always remember, your voice matters—use it to shape your business and the community it serves." - love the advice from @kristensonday!
Balancing personal + professional growth is hard, which is why I loved sitting down with @Cosmopolitan to put pen to paper on some of favorite advice.
We cover how to prep for meetings, balance deep work with one-offs, manage self-doubt, and more: cosmopolitan.com/career/a461…
