Impostor syndrome:.“I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out.". Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out.". The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.

@canva @SHEIN_Official @stripe @SpaceX 3️⃣ US is home to more than half of all unicorns (54%), followed by China (14%) — but notably, China is seeing fewer new unicorns than it has historically. How can the US continue to lead forward?.

1/Still, these women-led funds only account for 1.3% of the global dollars raised. 🧐 And, the average women-led fund was also less than half the size of the overall average at $244 Million. 🌱 83% of the firms led by women were investing in early-stage companies.

@sandy_carter Whether you're a skeptic or not— Sandy has been a tech trailblazer for decades at brand names like @IBM to @Amazon, working closely with @JeffBezos and Andy Jassy; . and when she's making a big bet in tech, I say, let's pull up and listen.
