This is a mere drop in the bucket. The world desperately needs the technological innovations that can only come from the rest of the country, harnessing the prowess that’s been accumulated along the coasts.

It’s time to bridge the chasm - these are multi-trillion $$$ markets.

I’m repeating myself; If you’re a startup founder and you’re not yet reading Uri Levine’s book . . . Do yourself a favor. It’s a proper handbook. You might want it in ebook or physical format so you can take notes and read it multiple times.

You can check out my review.

If you’re curious; We had 2 minutes to get our point across. We were one out of the 22 members of Cohort 6 who pitched an emerging venture fund manager to the audience.

If I were still assessing LP investments, I’d make an allocation to every fund in the cohort.

We had our iPhone Moment yesterday, at the Coolwater Annual Summit and Cohort 6 Pitch Day.

That’s a photo of me and my partner and cofounder, Lisa Morales-Hellebo getting the audience of potential LPs excited about REFASHIOND Ventures.

It’s Day 1. Join us.

I’ve owned this Bible for 33 years. It helps to remind me of what I can accomplish when I set my mind to something. It reminds me of my incredible ability to focus on the task at hand.

Come and hear, all you who fear God,and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
- Psalms 66:16

At most venture capital firms, early-stage supply chain technology is a tiny, emerging “area of interest” . . . At REFASHIOND Ventures, it’s our entire world.

Join us.

The Climate Crisis and supply chains are opposite sides of the same coin. Therefore, we are in the early-stages of the largest sector-driven investment opportunity of our lifetime - the technology-driven refashioning of global supply chains in order to confront the climate crisis.

Let’s do this.
