On starting new things -

What is your preferred format for books these days?

Interesting to see @Pinterest’s predictions for 2023. Self-described that people use Pinterest to plan for the future, they say that for the last three years, 80% of their predictions came true. People use Pinterest to plan for the future.

The Pique news letter is back! On entrepreneurship, impact investing, and change -

I turned one of my threads into a blog post, which you can now find on the @PiqueVC website. I thought about what happens when we analyze who has access to money, capital & resources and what gender lens investing means to us

Look what arrived today! And because of this exit, Pique can make some new seed stage investments. We invested in another BC-based women-led venture this month which we’re excited to tell you about soon!

Join us to gain actionable insights & hear from @juliannezim of @ReinventureCap, @nickalee76 of @TIIP_Insights, @bonnieowong of @PiqueVC, @vrroanhorse of @roanhorseconsu1, @VillanuevaEdgar of @DecolonizWealth & Essma Bengabsia, a Nneka Fritz Scholar at @nyuniversity.

@ericbahn @OfficialBBrooks @MacConwell @DelJohnsonVC @lolitataub @dunkhippo33 @teach_vc I have a great collection of interviews - including with @dunkhippo33, LPs, expert researcher - have had “writer’s block” this summer. This convo is helpful bc sometimes what I see/read/write sounds “obvious” in my head - I realize these insights might not be known more broadly.

We’re writing on the Pique Ventures blog again. The investment innovation, @AngelList’s Rolling Funds piqued our curiosity. https://t.co/PD5nierD8u

Speaking of books, I’ve been working on a new book since November 2019. The kernel of the idea came, not only from my own attempt at building an investment firm, but from the amazing women I met along the way who had…

How can we make better decisions in the face of uncertainty? In addition to integrating analysis, emotion, body and intuition, we can try thinking in bets.
