Very excited for this partnership with @attovc. I believe any underrepresented founder should have access to the same networks, tools, knowledge, coaching, money & resources etc. unfortunately, this is not the case. These programs provide us a step in the right direction. 🙌
We're joining forces with @msft4startups to support the next generation of female founders. 🚀 Microsoft for Startups is offering a range of benefits to our accelerator teams and @emilylrich, Director of Microsoft for Startups, APAC, will be joining Atto Demo Day as a judge.

Being a bootstrapped startup doesn't mean you can't build a big business As of today, Mailchimp is worth $10b: - Hasn't raised $1 of outside funding - Profitable since day 1 - Based in Atlanta (not SF) Don't let anyone tell you that you can't bootstrap your way to scale

If you take VC $, your startup will blow up. 🚀🎆Blow up BIG - 10x+ return for a VC upon exit. 💣🧨Blow up to ZERO - A write-off. Often with VC, it's one or the other, no middle. Founders might consider NOT taking VC, as bootstrapping/debt could yield a "goldilocks" outcome!

Surprisingly raising venture capital does not have a lot of correlation with startup success.

Zapier reached a $5 billion valuation without an office and barely raising any venture capital dollars. CEO @wadefoster explains how his startup reached $140M ARR working with mom and pop shops -- and why he's avoided the VC "hamster wheel." forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/…

43% of all venture capital raised goes straight into Facebook and Google Ads. (Source: @clearbanc) Is this healthy?

Venture capital gets all the attention yet provides only 0.05% of startup funding. Meanwhile, big wins are happening every day in loans, grants, crowdfunding, angel investments & bootstrapping to profitability. 🎉
