It's been a while since I've done a tweet storm. I was trying to be more heads-down the last 2 months thinking & reflecting.

Some building-in-public thoughts on growing and running @HustleFundVC >>

1) We recently had a company offsite where we had the chance to reflect on how we're doing in all aspects: financially, team morale, and with our mission.

2) Our mission at @HustleFundVC is to further the 3 things needed to grow successful startups: capital, knowledge, and networks.

3) To date we've invested in ~300 startups in < 4 years worldwide. ~50 came in completely cold -- no referral of any sort.

We've also spun up Angel Squad run by @b_nicks11 to further startup financing. Angel Squad has also deployed ~$10m into startups in < 1 year.

4) We're at a point where I feel incredibly fortunate that we've been able to work with so many fantastic founders and see 700 companies / mo.

Thanks to @will_bricker, momentum and scaled processes keeps us running faster and faster.

6) More here on where we go from here: elizabethyin.com/2021/09/08/a-r…

7) But the tl;dr is that while capital is becoming easier to access (it's always hard!), networks and knowledge are still behind closed doors.

8) And while we @HustleFundVC have touched the surface on this (via our webinars / events emails / posts / tweet storm) there is so much more we want to do to unlock knowledge and networks to make this more accessible to all startup founders.

9) Stay tuned on this...

To kick this off, let's start with this incredible (FREE!) event with co-founder/CEO of @webflow Vlad Magdalin (@callmevlad) that is happening next Tues:
