    The only thing a thank you note represents to me is what the norms are for the social class and cultural background are of that candidate. It’s nice to get one, but literally doesn’t factor into the decision at all, and shouldn’t. I’ve been hiring people for 20+ years.

    Hey, I wrote something! … I’ve been hiring people for 10 years, and I still swear by a simple rule: If someone doesn’t send a thank you email, don’t hire them.

    I. AM. LIVID. One of our amazing field staffers took 18(!!) people to get IDs today in downtown Memphis and the woman in charge of the DMV KICKED HER OUT! As soon as she heard what we were doing she decided we couldn't get IDs there anymore. She has BANNED US FROM THE DMV.

    👇🏽thread the wonky thread-the-needle innovation in 's model for being impact first in their investments is why i signed on as EIR

    As someone who runs a *kinda* venture fund, I've been following the latest round of push-back against VCs' model with lots of interest. There seem to be more and more options for entrepreneurs who want capital aligned with their growth and impact goals. [thread]
