#VC friends, if you're actively writing checks to overlooked/under-represented founders, please share your thesis.

#Founders, if you're overlooked/under-represented & are raising, tell us what problem you're solving, for whom, & why you're solving it.

Let's make some connections.

LeBron James is not a fan of Memphis at all.

In fact, he wants the Grizzlies to move 200 miles east to Nashville.
