Benchmarking LGBTQ+ representation in a results-focused VC world is hard because it feels awkward to measure who people love. We need to get over that feeling to make progress. Let’s use this Pride season to do what we do best: try, listen, learn, & improve. #PrideMonth @ablumey
Today, more than any other day and for MANY reasons, it is important to remember and critical act on these words:
Silence is violence.
The world only changes if we change it. Rights are only recognized if we rise. The only wrong action is inaction.
Simply put: it’s go time.

Venture capital is a very specific form of capital that is not the right way for most entrepreneurs to fund their business.
Bootstrapping and/or debt financing is what fuels the growth of most businesses.
Whatever you choose, it is not a reflection of your self worth. – at San Francisco, CA

"I look for founders who are candid about what they don't know. I’m fascinated by companies including payment platforms in the product. Extending credit, payments and transactions is the new normal for retail." -@ablumey of @500Startups in @voguebusiness voguebusiness.com/technology…
