Hi 👋🏼 I'm Kay. I'm the founder of @LetsGetOuterly, an app that connects people in nature. Real, IRL "social media." After building & launching our beta, we're raising a community round of $124K for our next phase of growth. Here's where you come in... 🧵 https://t.co/idqzLmh0lO

Things I never thought I’d get challenged on as a founder: vulnerability. I guess people gotta have their opinions on everything these days! 🤷🏻‍♀️

What brands (not individuals) are crushing it on Twitter? Please tag your favorites here :)

gm to everyone who walked away from things that are no longer serving them, even if it hurt

Universe, work your magic✨ We've only got a few more days left on our Wefunder campaign -- can you help me get our raise in front of the right outdoorsy//mental health//community investors on here? https://t.co/idqzLmh0lO

Ghosting is rude.

Who wants to be our 150th investor?!?! Invest in the social network for the outdoors and ride our rocket to the moon with us. 💚 https://t.co/idqzLmh0lO

Please tag anyone who might be interested & engage with these tweets to help us amplify/spread the word! Thank you ☀️

Friends, can you help me find the right investors for our @LetsGetOuterly community round? Ideal investors... 🌿 Love the outdoors/nature 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 Believe fighting loneliness is a massive opportunity ☀️ Want to invest $100+ in a female, POC owned tech startup https://t.co/idqzLmhybm

Never before has so much profit been made on human emotions we try to consciously subvert. Amazon - impatience Instagram - narcissism Netflix - addiction X/Twitter - FOMO Media Companies - laziness Political Parties - ignorance Not right or wrong on its own. Just reality.

Rules I live by

Any VCs/angels focused on tackling the loneliness epidemic?! Can I meet you?

Thank you X-land for bringing @SFShag to us at @LetsGetOuterly 🤩 Who's next?! INVEST HERE:

5/ Companies founded by WOC don't get nearly the airtime, attention, or capital that others do. Can you take a tiny action today to change that? Whether it's w/ @LetsGetOuterly or another equally brilliant female-founded company, let's start putting our money where it matters.

4/ Our goal is to become a MASSIVE company by solving loneliness at scale, but also to increase access and participation in the outdoor industry. And here's where YOU come in. Invest in our Wefunder. Share our story. Introduce us to outdoor lovers in your network. Cheer us on.

3/ So, we're building an app that solves that problem, giving the 60%+ of Americans who struggle with loneliness the ability to easily connect with others locally in green spaces near them. First, we start with Washington, DC. Then expand across the US. Then, on the world!

2/ I started @LetsGetOuterly to tackle loneliness with nature. Early in our research, we learned that 75% of people don't go outside as often as they'd like because they have no one to go with. That's a HUGE blocker to participation in the $862B outdoor recreation industry.

1/ I'm a female, POC founder that never had access to a "friends and family round" or networks of high net worth individuals. After hustling for 3 weeks, I've managed to raise ~40% of our round across 140 individuals from my network. But we need to further amplify our raise...

Thanks for getting the algo right on this one @elonmusk

It is painful and annoying that there's so much capital out there for startups, but very little of it is going to founders who look like me.
