Change

I spoke to Kate Brodock, the CEO of Women 2.0, this week. It's so impressive what they've built - they have a VC fund, an accelerator program, an angel investor training program, a corporate allyship program, and a media platform full of valuable content. I recognized a lot of overlap in the work Kate does and what I did at Backstage Capital, and it was wonderful to see the attention being given to women founders and investors.

I know I'm deeply involved in this world, but I'm sure everyone is seeing lots of initiatives to diversify tech. There are women-only investor groups, Slack communities for BIPOC founders, venture funds focused on underrepresented groups, etc. It's possible to look at organizations like Women 2.0 and Backstage and think, "great. These folks are totally focused on these DEI initiatives and are doing an excellent job. Seems like things are covered!"

But then take a look at the stats and you'll see that only 2% of venture capital dollars last year went to women-only founded companies. That's 2% invested into roughly half of our population. That's f***ed up.

Why should the targets of systemic inequality disproportionately be doing the work? Why do they have to lift themselves up to solve problems they did not create? I think White men need to shoulder much more of this burden. And here's the thing - I don't even need to join a new group or speak out publicly about some injustice, I just need to take action within whatever sphere of power I have.

I invest in founders. I choose to sometimes invest in women. That's it. It's so simple, yet so powerful. If you're hiring, hire a person of color. If you're in any way giving value, offer that value to those who are underestimated. Do this more than 2% of the time. If that's hard to do, then take the time to look at why it's hard. That’s your work to do.

I do hope people speak out about injustice, and I believe we need all of the initiatives out there to work toward an equitable future. But, don't underestimate the impact you can make with your own actions whenever you're in a position of power. Imagine what could change if lots of people took even a little bit of action.

Doing deals through Zoom? These investors have some tips

Investors are turning to remote-only meetings to combat COVID-19, which was officially declared a pandemic yesterday.

The novel coronavirus is already spreading via community contact in the Bay Area; an employee of South Park Cafe, a popular hub for techies and venture capitalists run by the credit card startup Brex, tested positive this week. The spot is a few hundred feet from a number of high-profile venture capital firms, including Kleiner Perkins.

But for many remote-friendly venture capitalists, making deals remotely is business as usual. We caught up with a few investors to learn how they make virtual dealmaking work for them, including its impact on their deal flow and portfolio diversity.

Founding partner of the W Fund Kate Brodock warned investors to not “devalue the process.”

“In-person is always ideal, but video still allows you to get a close-to-complete sense of the person in front of you — everything from facial expressions to body language to how they organize their desk,” Brodock said. “Making meaningful and informative connections through video is entirely possible.”

Turner Novak, a general partner at Gelt VC, has opted for a remote-friendly investment cadence since day one. He invests out of Ann Arbor, Mich.

Tech moguls are bypassing conventional VC for subscription-based funds

An increasing number of wealthy tech execs, like Facebook alum Dave Morin and Gumroad CEO Sahil Lavingia, are starting so-called “rolling funds,” a brand-new kind of venture fund pioneered by AngelList that enables investors to “subscribe” on a quarterly basis.

Some are drawn in to the user-friendliness of the design’s style and capability to publicly obtain investors, which might otherwise be unlawful.

Others see it as way to increase accountability for equity capital partners, who typically earn money on management charges whether the start-ups they fund be successful or not.

By needing to please financiers on a quarter-by-quarter basis so they continue to contribute, rolling funds puts more pressure on fund operators.

Still others see rolling funds as a method to bring more diversity into the notorious homogeneity of Silicon Valley.

Check out Business Insider’s homepage for more stories

More and more rich tech execs in Silicon Valley are beginning or taking part in so called “rolling funds.” That’s a brand-new type of fund introduced by AngelList that enables investors to subscribe on a quarterly basis, with the alternative to cancel and not contribute anymore to it if they’re disappointed.

News leaked in July that early Facebook worker Dave Morin was beginning a rolling fund called Offline Ventures. Gumroad CEO Sahil Lavingia revealed in August he was beginning a rolling fund while keeping his day task. And Ryan Hoover of Item Hunt informed Company Insider he was “looking seriously” at starting a rolling fund next year.

They’re signed up with by a little flood of tech figures beginning their own rolling funds, consisting of investor Cindy Bi, ex-Runkeeper CEO Jason Jacobs, and venture capitalist Tyler Tringas, to name a few.

Why tech figures are drawn in to these funds differs, but a typical thread running through their inspirations is a desire to bypass traditional equity capital.

Easy to use, open to more financiers

The user-friendliness of AngelList’s platform drew Lavingia to the rolling fund design.

” Go to a page, enter subscription quantity, confirm identity and setup financing source,” Lavingia informed Organisation Expert, describing the process of signing up as a new fund investor, referred to as limited partners (LPs). “That’s it! Self-serve.”

AngelList deals with the regulative busywork for a cost for the funds that utilize it, but there are other rolling funds running separately of AngelList willing to handle that problem themselves. For example, Tringas stated his Earnest Capital rolling fund is independent.

The cost of buying a rolling fund can be set low, opening the fund to a wider pool of financiers. For instance, Lavingia set his minimum to join the fund at $6,250 a quarter and he raised $5 million in about a month.

” It’s really much crowdfunding for techies with capital,” a fund supervisor who had actually checked out starting a rolling fund informed Organisation Expert.

Much better responsibility

Another person involved in a popular rolling fund stated their past as a partner at a significant VC firm left them with the belief that partners often collect costs and become rich regardless of their efficiency.

Many standard VC funds run on a 10- year cycle where they raise a fund then find startups to invest in and the LPs don’t anticipate their returns up until the end.

More possibilities for variety

To Kate Brodock and Allyson Kapin, founders of the The W Fund, a rolling fund that specifically looks to backs female founders and other underrepresented individuals in tech, the standard VC design is well previous due for an overhaul.

The VC world is known for the troubles lady and people of color have when raising funds or becoming VC basic partners [GPs].

The rapid nature of rolling funds appealed to Brodock and Kapin since it allowed them to leapfrog past a lengthy fundraising duration– and rapidly offer evidence versus the extra scrutiny they anticipated to face as ladies.

Social writing vs Business writing

As we all know, having a good writing skill is necessary in today’s world. It is very important for your professional and personal life. Good writing skill leads to good communication within and outside the business.

According to Kate Brodock, the social media writing is “Content, primarily in written format, that is designed to be optimal for social sharing.”

The goal of business writing is to transmit information to a reader, so clear language is necessary to help a reader understand information easily, says Cullen, adding, "Writing clearly is one of the harder aspects of business writing."

Brant W. Knapp, in his book, "A Project Manager's Guide to Passing the Project Management Exam," notes that,

"The main aim of business writing is that it should be understood clearly when read quickly. The message should be well planned, simple, clear, and direct." 

People’s intellect and their talent are often judged by their writing skills. Having a good writing skill is very essential for the success of any individual’s career. Often the letter sent by you will be the first point of contact in many business communications like sending an job application. If you can create a good job application letter, you can create a good first impression. Even after you enter in to a job, you will have to send a lot of letters throughout your career within the business and outside your business. People who mold a good letter with appropriate words create a good impression on the reader and often are respected.

(Importance of business writing.n.d)

Some of the important points why good writing can help you are:

·         Business communication

·         Career development

·         Professional confidence

·         Team building

NOLADrinks Show - 5-4-17 - Restaurant Culture and Lady(s) Behind Bars

On this NOLADrinks Show with Bryan Dias we cover the Lady(s) Behind Bars fundraising benefit for Dress for Success New Orleans. We then talk the importance of restaurant culture, what it means to lose a founding chef, and starting your own establishment with Robért LeBlanc of the LeBlanc+Smith restaurant group and Chef/Owner Alex Harrell of Angeline.

Pictured above from left at the Lady(s) Behind Bars Event – Kate Brodock of Women 2.0, Chelsea O’Lansen of Jospehine Estelle & USBG NOLA, Adrienne Miller of Toups’ Meatery & Toups South, Lucinda Weed of Black Penny & St. Germain, Maggie Morgan of Cane & Table, and Tracie Franklin of Glenfiddich.

NOLADrinks Show – 5-4-17 – Restaurant Culture and Lady(s) Behind Bars

We start the show off right away at the Lady(s) Behind Bars happy hour event that took place at Cane & Table on Tuesday, May 2. This was a charity benefit for the terrific Dress for Success New Orleans, an organization that empowers women to achieve economic independence by assisting them with professional clothing for interviews, résumé development, and other career support.

Lady(s) Behind Bars featured a stellar line-up of female guest bartenders who crafted drinks that were inspired by female empowerment. We chat, first, with Tracie Franklin, East Coast Brand Ambassador for Glenfiddich and co-founder of the concept, along with Kate Brodock of Women 2.0, an event partner. We talk about the event, its importance, and more.

We then are joined by two of the bartenders lending a hand to the cause – Adrienne Miller, bar manager of Toups’ Meatery and Toups South, and Lucinda Weed, brand specialist for St. Germain and a bartender at Black Penny. We talk about their drinks, their inspiration for them, and why they got involved with the event.

We close out this portion of the show with Maggie Morgan, a bartender at Cane & Table who also participated, along with Tracie rejoining us. We talk about Maggie’s involvement and the New Orleans bartending scene that is laden with talented women, as well as how female-identifying bartenders and others in the alcohol business support each other and will do so moving forward.

NOLADrinks Show - Restaurant Business Challenges

Our next segments feature another round of talking the restaurant business. This time, we talk about the importance of restaurant culture and how that it is critical in maintaining success and consistency, even in the face of losing staff and other challenges.

We have this conversation with Robért LeBlanc (at left, center) of the LeBlanc+Smith restaurant group, proprietor of New Orleans’ Sylvain, Cavan, Meauxbar, and Barrel Proof. Chef/Owner Alex Harrell (at left, right) of Angeline is also on-hand for the topic. Alex was the founding chef at Sylvain before opening his own place. We talk about their history together (they’re still good friends, by the way!), the topics mentioned above, and how Alex’s departure played out. We also discuss the implications of this and how both restaurateurs influenced and supported each other (and still do).

It’s an interesting conversation that is also quite candid. As Robért points out, often when restaurant owners and leadership get together, the chatter is almost always, “we’re killing it,” “we’re making tons of money,” etc. This is a refreshingly honest conversation. By the way, we start off this bit with some comments on the frequent practice of people making reservations, particularly large groups, and then no-showing and not calling to cancel. We talk about how that can represent a significant loss for an establishment’s day.

Below the map that features some of the locations discussed on the show, you can subscribe to, stream, and download the podcast!

Cheers, You All!

Kate Brodock Visits COM 400

On Wednesday, October 24, Kate Brodock, the Executive Director of Digital and Social Media at Syracuse University, visited DR4WARD's #NewhouseSM4 Social Media Theory & Practice class.

It was nice to learn the ins and outs of Syracuse University's social media channels from the mastermind herself. Brodock informed us that SU has over 700 different social media forums, but about only 66% of them are active. Brodock explained it is important to always have a consistent message across all channels, especially in times of crisis. She also said that when a crisis strikes, social media is hit the hardest. When people have something negative to say, they go to social media first, and Brodock is in charge of monitoring all this negativity.

Brodock also discussed the difference between content creation and content curation. Content creation directly links all content back to the person who created it, while content curation is associated with different sources finding content that is appropriate for a business' different social media channels. Both, however, play an essential role in maintaining a strong SM presence for Syracuse University.

Brodock concluded her hour-long lecture by briefly showing us some of SU's most popular SM channels, such as its Facebook page, @SyracuseU Twitter account and Pinterest. What fascinated me the most is that although one might think of Pinterest as a collection of miscellaneous pictures, Brodock said it is very important to be selective when choosing photos to best represent the university.

Yet again, #NewhouseSM4 had the honor of learning from a pro. This class just keeps getting better and better.

Guest Speaker: Kate Brodock

On WednesdayOctober 24, 2012, our class, COM:400-Social Media U Need 2 Know, had the pleasure of speaking to Kate Brodock, the Executive Director of Digital & Social Media at Syracuse University. Kate gave us an inside look at how a university the size of Syracuse utilized Social Media as another form of public relations, especially in a time of crisis. 

Whenever there's a crisis, Kate says Social Media always gets hit first, and gets hit hard. People will almost always tweet their frustrations before picking up the phone to make a formal complaint. In the case of the Bernie Fine scandal that rocked the Syracuse Area last year, Kate says the University was only given 30 minutes notice before ESPN published the article about the allegations of child molestation made against Fine. When there is a crisis, Kate says it is important to send out a consistent message through all of the University's channels. 

Another Social Media platform Kate spoke about, which I have tried to avoid, is Pinterest. While I see Pinterest as a collection of random photos, Kate spoke about the careful consideration that needs to be given to each picture before it's "pinned." And apparently the photos on Pinterest can trigger an emotional response. The example used in class was the Alumni who love to see fall photos of Syracuse, especially those who have moved to a 2 season climate.

SU's Social Media with Kate Brodock

So I had never actually thought about the team behind Syracuse University's social media sites. Having Kate Brodock, the executive director of digital and social media at SU, speak to my class Monday was SO interesting. 

We got a behind-the-scenes look at who helps to make the social media sites possible, who visits the sites, why it's important to SU to have social media sites, and how the social media teams decide what is "share-worthy." 

I love the fact that the social media teams include students who are dedicated to school spirit. I learned that social media doesn't (and shouldn't) exist in a little cube by itself, but instead, it should be integrated into already existing institutions. Alumni love social media because they get to engage with current students on a daily basis. And the social media teams need to be content curators, not just spitting back what people have already said, but finding new things to share. I also learned that Brodock hears the negative and positive feedback from the community on social media first. People are more likely to Tweet their thoughts way before they pick up the phone. 

My class live-tweeted the presentation. Check it out here:

Organizational Social Media Use_Kate Brodock

On October 23rd, 2012, Kate Brodock, Executive Director of Digital & Social Media at Syracuse University, was invited to one of my classes, Social Media Theory and Practive, as a guest lecturer. Although I was absent on the day because of my sickness, I still could learn from her through Twitter streams created by my peers who were there. Focusing on digital and social media use of Syracuse University, she shared varied strategies of SU to communicate with its target audiences more effectively. According to her, SU broke Twitter into many channels based on user needs. For example, @SUSqueeze is being used only for live events. Also, inspired by Oscar de la Renta, SU started using Pinterest. Heavy use of Foursquare as a location-based social media strategy was also interesting. Also she mentioned that there is a student team involved in the social media accounts for Syracuse University, and the members had to be trained by SU. In managing social media use for a large organization, considering between centralization and decentralization is important. In addition, interaction with people to let them social media is not a scary thing is necessary. She also shared a concept about content creation and content curation which is gathering third party content. Content curation may provide a good filter for audience but being dependent too much only on third party content is harmful for being an expert. Therefore, healthy level of content curation should be the answer.

Here is my storify post regarding the event:
