🍀 Quick update: With the end of my 2 year fellowship at the Partnership Fund for NYC, I've decided to take the opportunity to re-locate to San Francisco, and take a much needed sabbatical for my mental health. Let me know if you're in the area and want to catch up or hang!☀ What I've learned through this experience: 1️⃣ It's okay to take a risk and step away. You are worth it and everything you've built will still be there. 2️⃣ Don't be afraid to go alone. Trust the process. People will join you along the way.3️⃣ Remember the things that ground you and bring you joy. Do more of those things. Go to those places. Talk with those people.

Thanks Ladderworks for the feature and the opportunity to share about Impact Investing and what we're doing at the Partnership Fund for NYC. I love their vision of using picture books and educational content to inspire the next generation to become social entrepreneurs and advance the SDGs! #ImpactInvesting #SDGs

Another NYC Tech Week in the books. 🚀 Loved the energy in the tech ecosystem and connecting with amazing founders, funders and public side folk. We at the Partnership Fund for NYC are impact investors and are always looking for amazing start-ups tackling environmental and social problems to make NYC a more robust and inclusive economy! DM me if you're working on an impactful start-up or know a friend who does. Highlighting two other amazing opps: 👉 Sergio Marrero at Blue Ridge Labs announced the Catalyst Accelerator Competition, teams can compete for up to $85,000 to support their early stage for-profit or nonprofit venture focused on economic mobility. Apply here: https://lnkd.in/dAH9y2R9 👉Congrats Fernando Montejo at EDC on launching the Venture Access Alliance to bring more diversity to NYC VC/tech 🎉. They are taking applications for their 4 Founders Fellowships (underrepresented founders across all tech-enabled sectors) with either Chloe Capital, Company Ventures, NewLab, and Visible Hands.

This week was definitely so encouraging...seeing both public and private sector stakeholders come together around the 2023 UN SDG Summit and NY Climate Week. It really does take all of us, whether investors, governments agencies, civil society, students, and all global citizens to make this world a better and more equitable place to live. 🌱 Congrats especially to Satish Rao and team at Newlab for hosting a brilliant event, New Climate Futures, for an open dialogue between start-ups, corporates, policy makers, investors and the public! So glad to re-connect with so many new and old faces this week.
