Recurring subjects

• Breaking into venture. She points aspiring VCs to a deck on career paths (early-stage, university-focused, internships, full-time roles, interview prep) and to Shruti Gandhi’s post “How To Become A VC From Nothing.”
• Investor tactics and LPs. She highlights deal-sourcing tactics from another investor (burger dinners, personalized messages, warm intros, matchmaking stories, fast wires) and a post on why LPs invest: returns, deal flow, access and insights.
• What founders want from investors. She asks founders which investor characteristics matter most, linking a piece by Mario Gabriele, and polls pre-seed and seed founders on whether to take money from large funds with big brands but little time or small funds with smaller brands that can help.
• Community-driven companies. A thread explores what makes a community-driven company, its benefits, community must-haves and tactics. See Community Building.
• Resources. She announced the launch of the Y Combinator Startup Library, with more than 15 years of videos, podcasts and essays.
