You call yourself a cowboy but your DMs are fenced tighter than a boutique ranch, 'not DM pls' is the polite way of saying 'I’ll meet you at the corral if you RSVP and bring a slide deck.'

Helping build CowboyVC into a visible seed-stage brand, driving high-impact analysis (the original unicorn insight) and hosting accessible office hours that connect early founders with investors and operator mentors.

To identify, fund, and accelerate early-stage founders by connecting them to capital, operators, and insights that turn small ideas into category-defining companies while pushing for greater equity and access in tech.

Believes in founder-first, data-informed investing; that community and honest feedback accelerate startup success; that overlooked or 'unsexy' industries are massive opportunities; and that building more equitable access to capital and leadership matters.

Deep network and credibility in seed investing, strong voice on macro trends (high-engagement threads), clear investment themes, community-building through office hours and events, and an ability to translate data into memorable narratives.

Spreads attention across investing, family, events, and content, so responses can feel selective; 'no DMs' posture can shut down serendipitous conversations; occasional shorthand tweets leave room for misinterpretation.

Grow on X by leaning into repeatable, high-value formats: a pinned 'How to Pitch CowboyVC' thread with a submission template and examples; a regular 'Unicorn Update' or investment-theme thread series; short video clips (60, 90s) explaining portfolio lessons; host monthly X Spaces with founders and co-investors; boost discoverability with targeted tweet threads on niche sectors you hunt (AI for regulated industries, prof'l services); engage more in top-thread replies to amplify reach; and collaborate with other VCs/ops for joint AMAs to unlock their audiences.

Fun fact: she was part of the original 'unicorn' analysis that helped coin the term. Profile signals: Founder of @CowboyVC, ~95k followers, follows ~2.9k, ~5.9k tweets, explicitly asks for pitches via a link (please no DMs). Loves food, tennis, travel, and fights for equality.
