🧵 I’m doing a thread a week on various topics. This will be a thread of threads over time in chronological order that I keep adding to.

Not having any Monday morning calls is a routine I will never break . It’s even more critical for recovery post weekend travel, especially for family trips where you can get no work done.

I only fly Delta when I go home and it’s such a worse customer experience to me. They definitely have better planes and lounges though, but the lines for bag drop are beyond slow.

Family reunion weekend was exactly what I needed! I love my family 🙏🏽.

Who else is going to be in Martha’s Vineyard in August? Catch me at the @AfroTech house speaking on August 14th.

What I’ve learned from building one of the largest intern programs in venture:. At @HarlemCapital, we’ve reviewed 20,000+ applicants, managed 120+ interns, hired 5 full-time, and watched 50+ land VC jobs elsewhere. Here’s what works 👇🏾.1.Interns are core, not extra. They help us.

I’m the lightest I’ve been since my son was born 16 months ago. Many don’t talk about the weight gain for dad’s as well, hence ‘dad bod’. It often takes parents a long time to get back to pre parent shape given the limited time for self care. I’m pumped to keep getting healthier.

Alcaraz vs Sinner.Chelsea vs PSG. What a Sunday! Told my wife after church I’ll be on the couch resting as the lord told me to do 😆.

What we all expected for Wimbledon finals…Alcaraz going for 3rd in a row or is Sinner finally going to beat him?.

What I’m seeing in today’s Seed market based on hundreds of founder and VC convos:. Valuations: A clear flight to quality. Strong teams, especially repeat founders or experienced operators, are raising at $20–40M post. Round sizes: Bigger across the board. $4–10M Seed rounds are.

I had never watched Love Island, but after all the social media hype I had to check it out . And this show is like coco melon for adults, literally can’t turn it off 😩.

In my 20s, I was honored to receive awards like Forbes 30 Under 30, Inc 30 Under 30, The Root 100, and Ebony Power 100. At the time, they meant a lot. They opened doors, gave me access, and helped me enter rooms I might not have reached otherwise. But now, in my 30s, they.

⛪️ Sunday message: It’s on the way. - God doesn’t show up at the end, He is there the whole time. You just often don’t recognize Him during the journey . - Be aware of the adventure vs just waiting on the destination. Most people are not happy here and tell themselves they’ll be.

This is the busiest June and July of my VC career. Summer is usually slow in venture, no matter what the data says. Many VCs are traveling. Deals typically get done if they started before Memorial Day. But not this year…. We’ve had 2 partner meetings a week for weeks. And it’s.

Using chat deep research really makes knowledge and information a commodity, it’s pretty scary. Access and network will matter more than ever in an ai era. The education system has to change as memorizing a bunch of random facts no longer is meaningful.

Black men in finance.

Really wish Slack Huddle worked more consistently….

Narrative violation: My 3 fastest growing companies are all remote or hybrid . They are based in SF, NY and MIA. They are led by 2 women and 1 man. They are in AI, consumer and logistics. They are at $1M, $3M and $6M of ARR. They have raised $12M, $13M and $15M from Tier 1s. Do.

🚨 The @HarlemCapital Fall internship application closes on June 25th . If you are looking to break into VC then come join over 50+ alums now working in VC along with others who’ve gone on to become founders and operators.

Damn that’s devastating for Haliban! He was heated up and wanted it so bad. Breaks my heart for him.
