“Runway” is a concept created by investors. They believe when you run out of capital, the business fails.
Talented entrepreneurs can run out of money and still survive.
The greatest entrepreneurs will breakthrough at the moment closest to failing completely.
Let’s build together 🚀 Thank you @PDXBizMalia for all your support 🙏🏼

If Latino-owned businesses grow as fast as the U.S. average, they could add $1.4 trillion to the U.S. economy. Which would add almost eight percent to the $18 trillion U.S. economy. 💡Source: JPMorgan Chase & Co
Great thread here by @pdxmitch and 100% agree!
1/17 I don't discount the need to do marketing for the region. But given the amazing creative firms here, I do question sending $5M to an out of state firm to lead those efforts - even if they specialize in place marketing efforts for other cities.

Startups aren't just building what users want
They’re also aesthetic expressions of what founders believe the world should look like - a reflection of their values + beliefs
