Really interesting to see how you go about researching video topics.
And also to see an example of how long it can take for videos, especially on a new channel, to gain traction. "300 views after 250 days... but then over the next 250 days the video had over 25,000 views" :mindblown:
> What is the most meaningful lever to help increase women founder representation?
This is a great question and something I've been thinking about as well.
IMHO, the most meaningful lever overall is improving representation in VC.
The most meaningful lever that I can act upon, as a male technical founder looking for a cofounder, is to look for women founders to partner with and women investors to join my cap table.
Recently, I did find and reach out to some folks on angels.vc - a women-led community of accredited angel investors.
These are all great action items and I completely agree.
One topic I've heard a lot is the fact that impostor syndrome is often stronger for women. This is impacts their willingness to apply for jobs that list certain qualifications, for example.
I wonder if there are ways to be more outspoken about how little we know as founders and how much we learn long the journey.
Many of the prevailing narratives flex "This is how to do it" more than "I used to have no idea how to do this"
But I agree what you outline is likely most meaningful:
1) Increase women representation in VC
2) Proactively look for women VC cap table participants

Do you guys support relocation (h1b or E3)? I've ran into your website before liked the listed roles but was hesitant to apply because I wasn't certain if you guys are open to visa sponsorship.

The booklet is a fantastic resource with thought-provoking activities and questions that helped us start each year with intention. Oh, and it's free!
This year, being new parents, we haven't been able to prioritize it.
So, I thought I'd create a GPT to make it easier to have that reflection through a simple conversational interface.
Comments/feedback are welcome!
If people find it useful, I'll build it into an app.
