Call out to #edtech founders….someone pl tackle the standardized tests space. Orgs like @CollegeBoard have a complete monopoly, are fleecing ppl for $ even as so-called non-profits, & provide 0 service. E.g. >10 hrs of phone time to change an email address on a student account!

Two women inspired me to start an incubator for women entrepreneurs many years ago - my mom and the great @madeleine with her quote: “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women”. #RIP #LEGEND

By far the best @sxsw panel! This should have been a keynote on the main stage (and I attended most of them). Huge miss for all who didn’t attend. Thank you @deenashakir @_KateRyder and @everly_well Julia Cheek for keeping it real and super inspiring. #SXSW2022

As the mom of a son who is “political”, this @nytopinion piece struck a cord. It’s also a stark reminder of the bubble we live in -in Silicon Valley, in CA, in the US. I am grateful for my freedoms and have been inspired today to put them to work. nytimes.com/2021/12/17/opini…
Found this study by @UChicago:
(1) Resonating (experienced almost all of the things said ) & (2) troubling-“half of (employed) adults say having a child is an obstacle to employee advancement”. No wonder we have the “GreatResignation. news.uchicago.edu/story/how-…
1/I’ve always enjoyed watching sports and loving the #USOpen2021. Until recently, I watched to live vicariously because I have never been a “pro” athlete - or didn’t think of myself as one. Today I watch with a different lens…

2/Today, I’m watching as part of the innovation team @Nike. These athletes are our customers. As I watch them, I am trying to empathize - understand their needs, emotions, behaviors.

A single California wildfire last year destroyed up to 14% of the entire world's mature giant sequoia trees, a new draft report finds.
"I cannot overemphasize how mind-blowing this is," one scientist says. "These trees have lived for thousands of years."

“It’s not always the horse or the jockey” - ❤️ the tagline of this @HarvardBiz piece on why startups fail and also the important lessons of avoiding “false starts”, surrounding yourself with “good bedfellows”, and following the lean process.

Love this from @citigroup CEO Jane Fraser. It reminded me of the great @madeleine quote about a "special place in hell..."

My kinda day - meetings with incredible founders, hosted a meetup with a powerhouse group of women angel investors, attended a fireside chat with @staceyabrams, watched a bit of @allinthefilm and now listening to the incredible @JanelleMonae while working on my startup idea!

Big WTF moment today-my son is registered to take the @ACT in 2 wks. His test center was a local (Bay Area) HS. First it got moved an hour away. I grumbled but understood. Today he discovered that his test center has been changed to IOWA with NO explanation or communication!😕😠
