My favourite part of NY #TechWeek - co-hosting a dinner for Immigrant Female Founders with my fellow Venture Partner, Isoken Igbinedion, and Unshackled Ventures. We brought together 15 powerhouse women building the future of everything from social platforms to a data layer for decentralized AI. It turns out an interest in extreme sports was a common thread. Makes sense. Grateful for this community and to be building alongside such inspiring, resilient humans. If you're an immigrant founder (especially in the consumer, social and community space!!!), please reach out. I'd be happy to share more info about the mission of Unshackled Ventures. #UnshackledVenturePartner
