Look what I just got, all the way from The Nordics😍 I’m so, so proud of my friend and personal portfolio GP, @norabavey1. Together with @TheaMessel, she has breathed life into the entrepreneurial ecosystem for underestimated founders across the Nordics and beyond w/@UnconvenVc.
And She won🌟🌟🌟🌟 @norabavey1 Sweden’s most important investor 2021🎉🎉🎉 beyond proud of my partner in crime thank you 🙏@ArlanWasHere
I’m so proud of @norabavey1. Was my pleasure to be her fund @UnconvenVc’s first investor, and to introduce her to founding partner, @TheaMessel, so that they can take on the world. Nora, you made all of this happen for yourself! I just pointed the spotlight in your direction.

Arlans investment was beyond catalytic for us🌟🙏 what an amazing group of funds to be in company with @checkwarner @adaventures @Maren_Bannon @January_VC @thebetsyz @EdGrapeNutZimm @close_first @MacConwell @norabavey1 @UnconvenVc @Backstage_Cap
In addition to my firm, @Backstage_Cap's, nearly 200 direct startup investments, I have committed personal capital to more than 20 emerging fund managers. I believe this is another way I can catalyze the startup/investment ecosystems in a meaningful way.

In order to increase the transparency about the funding gap - we have constructed this survey to learn more about your fundraising experience and needs, to further improve the initiatives built in order for more capital be deployed towards underrepresented founders.

90% of UK LPs are male. This data resonates with our experience of fundraising for Ada Ventures I. How do we change this? Until we change it will the VC ecosystem become more effective & inclusive? @Madame_Daisy @AnuAdebajo @SamEttelaie @Beezer232 @Open_LP #OpenLP
Some data on the UK's LP landscape from @collectivequity. Mostly HNWIs. An average of 32 LPs to raise a fund, and a median of 29 LPs.
"The fund with the greatest number of LPs that we analysed has 142 names on the register." 😳
