Testimonials

Thank you @agoldner from @growthxvc for dropping true gems for @gener8tor and @BronzeValley_ accelerator companies today! My major take always about VC (and life tbh): have an abundance mindset and don’t be an asshole.

Excited for next week and spending time with @Agoldner as part of @propelict program. His earlier session flipped the light on for me about an IIP (Ideal Investor Profile.) Can’t wait to glean more about how to approach investors in these times.

@agoldner is one of the VCs that truly want to have an impact on founders of color and women. Thank you for your tie and wisdom. Best advice today: have a mindset of abundance and not scarcity. Don’t be afraid to challenge the status quo. #Facts @growthxvc

Learning a lot from Sean Sheppard and Andrew Goldner from @growthxvc this morning at @spark_centre. Great insights on acceleration based on sales, product-market fit, solving real problems, sustainable transactional models, less “innovation theatre”, gov’t funding dependencies… pic.twitter.com/d4MxBAyQy9
