Have you spoken out as loudly as you can about the vitriol? If not, would you still be as silent as you are today if this were your kid. His crime in the eyes of these molesters? Being born Jewish. Your silence won’t be forgotten.

1/ "Release the hostages"
Why is that not the FIRST universal cry?
Why is that not the universal social media post?
How is intentionally kidnapping innocent children as hostages condonable, met with silence or worse screaming it by ripping down posters.
I don't understand it
This. Perfectly said.
There is no justification for acts of violence towards innocent civilians, and words feel insufficient in expressing the weight of my condemnation of the terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas last weekend. Over this difficult week, as I've listened to friends and colleagues share their moments of dread, heartbreaking stories of loss, triggering of generational trauma, and their unquestionable anxieties over a surge of anti-Semitic sentiments globally and here in the US, my heart has grown heavier from the gravity of their pain and fear.
My conversations and personal reflection have reinforced two important truths: First, the undeniable importance of publicly expressing my personal support and standing in solidarity with the Jewish community. Second, the poignant reminder that many friends and neighbors are profoundly hurting, even when their suffering is hidden behind their stoic facades.
I unequivocally condemn the terrorist actions by Hamas and deeply mourn the tragic loss of all innocent lives that have and will result from these acts. I stand with the Jewish community and the people of Israel in these trying times. And I believe genuine empathy allows us to care deeply for one community without diminishing our care for others.
As always, well said.
I know it is hard for founders to focus on reducing customer churn when your stomach is churning from watching the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas. It is hard to focus on growth while you're watching so much destruction. It is hard to focus on optimizing lifetime value when you're watching one of the most inhumane attacks in your lifetime. It is hard to be present when your head and your heart are elsewhere.
Take the time to care for yourself and others. Your morals matter more than metrics.
I'm excited to share that I've joined the board of directors at @vcforward. Looking forward to working with their team to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive future for VC. Learn more about their mission below. ctt.ec/5kum7+

Long time listener, first time caller—I had a great time chopping it up with @HarryStebbings on the @twentyminutevc, talking @LookingGlassCap’s disciplined approach to pre-seed investing, the future of venture, and what’s going on in the market these days open.spotify.com/episode/3uy…
This was big ~8 years ago but NOW can we have a AI shopping assistant/agent that looks at your purchase history (gmail ok) and suggests what to buy at specific sites / during specific events? Ideally w/broad scope, so not just on Amazon, or even just Shopify-powered sites...
Excited for the team @blinkist on their acquisition by @go1com. It’s been a pleasure to be invested and working with this team since their Series A.
Many congrats to @hlgrsm @tobiballing @jansenniklas and the team🎉🏆 Go1 is lucky to have you! cc @greycroftvc
We're thrilled to announce that @go1com has acquired Blinkist, marking an exciting milestone for both organizations! By joining forces, we’re laying the groundwork for a new and innovative model of professional and personal learning! Read more here: blnk.st/Go1AcquiresBlinkist 🚀
Best sign off in a email today (besides, "payroll went through") was: "May you have a VERY boring week". Cheers to that.

The most valuable voice in a meeting isn’t the person who talks the most. It’s the person who says the most with the fewest words.
Dominating the discussion signals high self-importance or low self-awareness. Making space for others to contribute shows respect and earns respect.
Round up from a tumultuous year. With a long term focus, there is still MUCH to be excited about in healthtech. greycroftvc.medium.com/digit…
New 📜: Landing that first payor contract as a health tech startup is no small feat - we interviewed a few who have done it themselves, and also got input from decision makers on the payor side greycroftvc.medium.com/landi… @greycroftvc @t_olkowski @stephpstrong

When @askpicassoMD was deployed in an affluent DC clinic & more disadvantaged clinic in Mississippi, we found nearly identical health outcomes & prevention of unnecessary care. Huge implications for health equity & value for healthcare system!

Excited to partner with Marla Beyer, @InspiredCap and the whole team @JoinHopscotch.
The mental health crisis is acute -- one in five children have a *diagnosed* mental health condition. We need new solutions like this that can expand access to high quality care and resources.
We are proud to announce our seed round of funding led by @InspiredCap and @greycroftvc. This is a critical milestone that will allow us to address a national mental health crisis through insurance-covered treatment and expert resources for families.
