Start. Start now. Start where you are. Start with what you have. Start with all your insecurities. Start with what you already know. Start moving toward your goal. Start and make mistakes. Start small. Start now. Start.

We are saddened by the sudden, unexpected loss of CEO/founder of Socian Technologies, Marc Ward. He was a brilliant tech genius who touched everyone he came in contact with, with his wittiness and big heart. To our "Real Life Tony Stark"... you will truly be missed.

While I'm an angel investor, I'm also a founder currently fundraising. If you're an investor and you ask me how you can best help us in the ecosystem, 100% of the time I will tell you the best way to help is to write a check or introduce me to someone who will write a check.

Think about what you want your future to look like, and start filtering every decision... Will it get you closer to this vision or not? Cut ruthlessly.

Astronaut Scott Kelly once smuggled a full gorilla suit aboard the International Space Station. He didn't tell anyone about it. One day, without anyone knowing, he put it on.

Stupid question: given the public tech markets are most of the way back to their highs, why is still no one doing growth stage investments?

I legit think the only reason I've gotten as far as I have in my life is because I lie to myself all of the time. I will only tell myself I can't do something AFTER I have already tried it. Usually, after I've tried it more than once.

Angel checks matter! So proud of @apbyers for becoming a dominant angel investor. Angel investing is so much more personal than VC because it's not just a check, it's an affirmation that you're doing the right thing and building an incredible business.

Committed to my 11th angel investment and got this note from the founder, a woman of color. Angels are vastly more diverse than VC and are the ones funding the base of our innovation economy. We're building @ScroobiousInc to make these connections easy and commonplace.

My heart is so heavy as I write this. My mother in law, Tanya Bailey, passed away on Saturday at 66 years old. She was a wonderful person who trusted me to take care of her most precious gift — her son, Ian. We had a great relationship and I will miss her dearly. As my mother said, Tanya isn’t gone. She just went to her heavenly address. 💔

This is exactly what I mean when I say that current “AI” isn’t intelligent. In between input & output is ‘engineering’ of the actual AI model & what it’s supposed to do. Most of the time there’s bias. Because it’s built by people with biases. And this output is inappropriate.

i tried the AI linkedin/curriculum picture generator and this was the result. The pictures i gave for reference are simple selfies of my face ONLY. But still, the AI oversexualized me due to my features that have been fetishized for centuries. AI is biased for POC. I’m horrified
