VCs now realizing Silicon Valley has a public image problem and suggesting we increase PR efforts and participation in politics to make clear that Silicon Valley problems are every American's problems… A better (and easier) starting point might simply be investing in more

Yes, the substance issue led to this image issue, which is why I'm eye-rolling at these superficial solutions

I wrote a blog post for anyone thinking about hiring a "first head of marketing" at their startup. helenmin.com/blog/first-hea… No disrespect to @Superhuman (amazing product!) - they deserve a stellar marketing organization and leader. Learning how to decode this language will help.

Mask mandates again? Did they even bother to consult venture capitalists before making this decision??

A "smart generalist" should be every startup's first marketing hire, but so many start with specialists instead 😩 You need someone who will write the growth playbook, not blindly run it. Rigorous experimentation without bias is key at the start. helenmin.com/blog/smart-gen…

1. Everyone saw this coming 2. Few actually did anything about it (@AngelList was one who did) 3. VCs are the largest source of panic rn and it's not a good look 4. SVB will be fine in the end

Demand for experts who know how to build a strong developer brand and community is increasing, but supply isn’t keeping up. I couldn't find much out there on this topic, so decided to write a thing 🙃 helenmin.com/blog/marketing…

We increasingly make (basic) human rights political issues, which sort of blows up this equation. Otherwise, agree with your point.

When I was 27 my manager at @facebook promoted me into a big role and gave me responsibilities I wasn’t 100% ready for because he believed in me. Success in that role led to many more leadership opportunities in my career. Take more chances on promising young women NOW.
