Thanks samir kaji for having me on Venture Unlocked! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ven…

We chatted about everything from how my experiences in product and marketing at Stripe and Twitter inform my views on company building, to how venture firms and startups can think about PMF in similar

ever grateful for this team & our friends 🍾

happy 20th again Uncork Capital & shoutout to our platform queen Ashley Cravens for planning the party of the decade 🤩

why hello Uncork Capital dog!

Today is the day! The NVCA Leadership Gala is here, and we’re thrilled to celebrate important Venture Forward milestones and the venture industry at large as we honor those who have made significant contributions to the VC ecosystem.

If you can’t make it tonight, please

Hard to believe but Uncork just turned 20! Time flies when you get to work with an awesome team and incredible founders every day. LFG! medium.com/uncorkcapital/…

We'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Charles Hudson for his dedicated service during his four-year term on the Venture Forward board. It’s been a privilege to work with him, and his insights and contributions have played a key role in our success.

The impact he has made on

As a B2B-focused seed-stage investor, and a B2B Product Marketer before that, I've spent substantial time helping early-stage companies find and select their first ten customers. While some of this is bespoke to each company, certain questions are universally helpful, eg:

The best technology companies in the world use Coder to be even better 📈

Generally speaking expect your hair to go gray at a rate of 10% per funding round, until you go public when the rest turns gray after your first earnings call.

Excited to share one of the first images produced by our portfolio company Wyvern!

Our bar in the new office is now fully stocked (yeah Andy McLoughlin went wild but he’d say the same about our cellar 🙃). You will notice the “Uncorked” bar sign: it’s an “hommage” to all the people who mistakenly butcher our name. It’s only been 6.5 years that we rebranded as Uncork!

Major news at Front: welcoming Dan who steps in as CEO as Mathilde becomes exec Chair. We're about to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Uncork leading the Seed round of Front - a crazy run so far. I am super proud of the company's progress, and am excited for its next chapter.

Today is Equal Pay Day.

March 12 marks how far into the new year female workers have to keep working to make what their male counterparts made last year, also known as the gender pay gap.

Why is this still happening?
1. Systemic bias and the “caretaker tax”
2. No pay

Today, the team at Stark released our whitepaper after two years of market and customer research! 🎉 I put together a short video with an executive summary of the work on our new approach and model.

One of my favorite courses as a Stanford University undergrad was E145 (Technology Entrepreneurship), taught by steve blank and Ann Miura-Ko. In it, we learned how to 'get out of the building' and talk to customers early and often.

Join me helping Venture Forward that is calling for VCs to volunteer as mentors for #VCUniversity ! The time commitment is 1 hour/month from April-June. Great opportunity to give back and strengthen the industry! Learn more: bit.ly/VCU_Mentor_Info

Super excited for Overflow. That round is going to allow us to reach the next level of scale, and impact. Well done Vance Roush and team!

I’m confident that 2024 is going to be a great year for early stage founders, and I’m particularly excited to be investing at the seed stage. I shared a bit about why I’m optimistic about this year, and how constraints can lead to massive venture outcomes. medium.com/@amys/constrai…
