When I met Rick Zullo and Chelsea Zhang 6 months ago, I had just told them a 7-year-journey story that ended with "so Revive is great, but I want to go slow and just keep my head down"... This was going to be the 8th year of running an early stage start up that went through a hell of time through Pandemic, so I was exhausted. I knew the market for Revive was huge, and every brand I talked to had this universal supply chain problem. But could I go through this start-up marathon again? The doubt you face as a founder is real and dark. But the joy you feel when your product delivers tangible value to the world, is also real. This year has been a joyful, and transformative time for Revive, ever since we re-committed to the start-up journey. As Rick predicted, this is turning out to be our Phoenix round to bring us back. I am beyond grateful for our team (Rafael John Alan Hines as my day to day partner) and existing & new investors (especially the day-one supporters; Eric Bahn, Brett Martin, Jenny Fielding, Dave Lu, Veronica Chou). I feel ready to go on this journey, not because I have magically gotten stronger but because I have this amazing community around Revive. Join us in reshaping the retail inventory, one mystery box at a time.

Love this article, not only because Christina Farr is always great at calling out the healthcare market but also because it is the perfect example of ignoring noise. When I started Little Otter every advisor I talked to told me that if we didn't go after employers to start we would never scale. My feedback to new CEOs: Follow the strategy that makes logical sense for you and your business... and if it doesn't make sense you aren't missing something, it probably doesn't make sense. https://lnkd.in/eEyW2gYT

It is so cool when great things happen to great people with great ideas! Happy to celebrate that Coalition Operators through their work with Thrive Capital connected me to "invest" in Nourish, who are killing it! Ashley Mayer and Toyin Ajayi, your vision coming to life! Aidan Dewar and Sam Perkins, you guys rock.

Last night, Toyin Ajayi and I hosted a group of (mostly) local healthcare founders for dinner. I've been to a million industry events, but this was a total "pinch me" moment for Coalition Operators to have these incredible people under one roof. As a group, they're tackling everything from psychedelic medicine to surgery to revenue cycle management to pediatric care and much, much more. Thank you Akash Magoon, Liya Shuster-Bier, Leoni Runge, Christopher Morley, MD, Osamah Choudhry, MD, Ellen D., Jonathan Sabbagh, Myriam Barthes, Joseph Kitonga, Patrick Gilligan, Rebecca Egger and Lauren Morrell! We are so lucky to get to learn from you. And much gratitude to Julie Betts Ebert, Katia Friend and the SVB team for making this possible!

What a great opportunity to hang with the brilliant Ashley Mayer of Coalition Operators. They have such an innovative model and are opening investing and advising to a whole new group of folks. I also think their model delivers maximum value for founders. The structure and depth of the advising relationships exceed the normal drive by advice model by a long shot. Can’t wait to see what you do next Ashley!

Happy 2024! The team at Elpha asked me to do an AMA with their community of 100K+ women in tech to start the year. I'll be answering questions this Friday afternoon, so in the meantime, please feel free to stop by with Qs on *any* topic: what we're up to at Coalition Operators, startup comms lessons from Box and Glossier, Inc., angel investing/advising, career pivots, the website formerly known as Twitter, whatever. I promise bullshit-free answers!

Beyond honored that Willow Health was selected as one of the Business Insider Healthcare Startups positioned to take off in 2024! Huge thank you to the legend herself, Alyssa Jaffee, for the nomination. Building towards a better behavioral health crisis care system is rewarding on its own, and getting to do so alongside brilliant, motivated, and mission-aligned people each day is more than I could have dreamed possible. Closing out the year immensely grateful for our team & partners and looking forward to sharing many more exciting developments in the new year 💚 Christina Gerdes, MD Katherine Harrington Kingsley Blatter Nikhil Nadkarni Rasslyn Baez Aaron Lorenzo Milton Tristie L.

Honored that Coalition Operators is featured in this amazing article by E.B. (Liza) Boyd…and alongside one of our founding operators, Zoelle Egner! As Liza writes, “Networks have always been the substrate on which this asset class [angel investing] is built.” For most of venture capital’s history, those networks have been incredibly homogenous. This is a tough stretch in the startup ecosystem, yet I’ve never been more optimistic about the future. It’s exactly the right time to challenge norms and build new models that open up access to more people. It’s also the right time for founders to be extra thoughtful about bringing the expertise they need onto their cap tables, and for top operators to derisk their startup jobs by taking a portfolio approach to their careers. Grateful that we get to play a small part in this movement by connecting top women leaders with early stage cap tables through our fund and partnerships with General Catalyst and Thrive Capital. And always fun to be included alongside friends/co-conspirators like Amanda Robson + Modern Angels.
