@drgurner @austin_rief Terribleeeeee advice for a woman. Speak up. I think overall if you are the most junior to stand out,… ask real questions for clarity.DURING the meeting. Be present and engaged. You never know how you’ll contribute to the convo. Might end up leading it. Changed my career.

@roshanpateI EAs help build efficiency in their lives. Frees them of brain space of task that occupy their cognitive loads. Which they need to build. If someone has learned to manage their time and energy using a EA. That’s a person that understand time is money usually. Just my take.

Also, can we stop telling entrepreneurs to quit their jobs and side gigs in order to raise? Bills don’t stop because you start raising and want to be “taken seriously” by VC. Until you have enough $ to work solely on your biz (savings, rev, or investment) keep on, keeping on.

@RMB2 Some people don’t have the luxury to miss a paycheck. They have families, health concerns, debt and more. Some people don’t have other avenues to lean on while they transition. Jobs can also serve as places to learn to help you become a better founder.

After a full day of processing and research, I am realizing we are indirectly impacted by the SVB closure. (We don’t bank there) A substantial amount of our merchants & tech partners have been impacted, which means this puts a MAJOR strain on our platform and inventory. 😳
