What (Management) lessons can we learn from Los Angeles' apocalypse fires, and why is it time for Californians to rise against professional politicians and ideologues... First and foremost, I am so sorry for the hard-working people of Los Angeles, the gardeners, construction workers, retail/services managers, and entrepreneurs. What happened was unfair and heartbreaking but mostly outrageous because it was so predictable and avoidable. I (legally) immigrated to this country 25 years ago. In exchange for an Eb1 visa, I had to produce a five-year plan, hire many people, and pay many taxes. This led to a green card and eventually US citizenship... Originally, from Europe, I always thought of my affiliation as progressive, squarely leaning toward democrats (the 80s and 90s version), although I was always fiscally conservative... After 2 decades of no changes, worse infrastructures, growing taxes (why are we paying $4.89 a gallon vs. the national average of $3 again?), exploding homelessness, and consistent deficits... California, the 5th largest economy with a budget of $322B, should LEAD THE WORLD FOR ITS INFRASTRUCTURES, have the most modern high-speed trains (LA to Seattle in 5 hours), quality and abundant water, and clean (nuclear) energy (France relies 75% on it). Modern buildings, with yearly preventive clean-ups and fire prevention strategies and equipment, and communities of tiny houses solving homelessness and addiction. Dream on... The Tenderloin (a dangerous San Francisco neighborhood) 25 years ago is the same as it is today, but some say it is probably more dangerous and dirtier...Homeless people have grown significantly over these last 5 years (~200,000 people), $24B has been spent on the problem, and there has been no progress... Why? Less than 20% goes to helping people, the rest and the vast majority in the hands of administrations and mindless bureaucrats...such a waste, such as shame... It does not matter if you lean right or left; the bottom line is that we should not support politicians who are incompetent and live only to protect ideologies... When will California change and recognize that politicians have failed us over the last thirty years? It's time to rally, rise, and shake up the status Quo. Let's remain civil and temper our (justified) anger, but man o man... Go to any city in Asia or Dubai, and you'll realize we are short-changed. As in any capitalistic corporation, how about demanding the following from our leaders: 🔥 Extreme transparency on budget allocation 🔥 One-time term 🔥 Enforce Lobbyist $ Caps 🔥 Enforce performance-based reviews 🔥 Streamline Recall mechanisms

Last week in San Diego, CEOs and VCs in the aging & longevity space got together to share their insights on anti-aging medicine. Here's a summary. 𝟰 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 -Types of outcomes investors want to see. -Changes in academic funding landscape -Regulatory landscape -Ethical considerations 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 Longevity is not about living longer. It's about increasing the number of years in which you are at your best and improving recovery from disease. Think of the resilience children have.  Aging is epigenetic. Changes in methylation patterns alter gene expression. This is not about telomeres or gene mutations anymore. First therapies to market may be AAV gene therapies. These therapies can restore methylation patterns to baseline and will focus on shared genes associated with aging and chronic disease. The 4 disease categories associated with aging are called the 4 horsemen. They are heart disease, diabetes, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Therapies addressing the above conditions represent a multi-trillion dollar market, and investors are looking to de-risk by putting money into clinical assets. Capital markets are slowly recovering with increase in IPOs and slight lowering of interest rates. CPI is still up and labor market is still in oversupply. Advise cautious optimism using the mantra "survive till 25'" Pre-clinical companies will have difficulty raising capital in this space. First-time CEOs should expect major challenges. NIH is putting more money into risky "moonshot" projects that encourage biotech partnerships, have commercialization plans, and can demonstrate path to market in 3-5 years. Projects are expected to have reasonable endpoints and broad applications. No more decades-long studies, and a slow move away from precision medicine. To increase accessibility and reduce cost, a larger specialized labor force is needed that can scale and administer gene therapies globally. The convergence of engineering an biology principles will be important for building a capable future workforce. ------------ Big thank you to LaunchBio for all of the non-profit work they do in providing meaningful updates on therapeutic fields, as well as bringing investors and startups together. Special thank you to Melissa Schmidt of LaunchBio for inviting me to attend this series. #biotechnology, #biotech  #startup

How do you set your deal priorities? Sales leaders are pretty good at this. But they can do better. The Efficient Frontier For Sales shows you where to focus so you maximize sales for the risk you are willing to accept. On average deal portfolios on the Efficient Frontier produce 58% more in-quarter sales than prioritizations based on stage, deal-size, forecast category, or deal-scores. Want to see how this works? DM me for that case study. #salesmanagement #salesleadership #salesenablement #salesoperations #revops #revenueoperations #salesops #analytics #datascience #forecasting #sales

✨ Elevating Consciousness, One Leader at a Time ✨ 🧠 Mental health investors, entrepreneurs, advisors, and advocates: As a proud board member of the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), I’m deeply committed to educating current healers and future leaders to create more compassionate, inclusive, and impactful communities. I’m delighted to spotlight an inspiring interview with Kini Chang, LMFT, Chair of the Community Mental Health Program at CIIS. In this piece, Kini highlights the transformative potential of community mental health (CMH) and the vital role it plays in addressing mental health challenges in marginalized communities. Did you know? Community mental health services have been a cornerstone of equitable care since the Community Mental Health Act of 1963. From that shift away from institutionalization to today’s integrated approaches, CMH graduates are now stepping into leadership roles in community-based organizations, bridging gaps in care with empathy and expertise. Mental health is a critical frontier, with 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiencing mental illness annually. In a world grappling with rapid societal change, lingering pandemic effects, and a growing mental health crisis, leaders like Kini—and the students she mentors—are essential to shaping a better future. 🔗 Curious to learn more about how CIIS is preparing professionals to drive this change? Check out the full article featuring Kini’s insights—click the link in the comments below! 👏 Well done to S Brock Blomberg Chip B. Goldstein, EdD and the team. #MentalHealth #Leadership #CommunityWellness #CIIS #EducationForImpact #PsychologyMatters #ElevateConsciousness

A week has passed since the Scale Venture Partners Go-To-Market Summit in San Francisco where I was fortunate to participate in the Pipeline Council breakout session led by Kristina McMillan and Lisa Horner. These two are must-follows on LinkedIn. 💪 4 key learnings from this amazing breakout session: 1. Ideal Customer Profile Development - As my colleagues Robert Koehler and David Brock always say, a vicious focus on your ICP is the fastest way to improve win rates. These are the accounts that have the highest probability of winning and retaining with the least amount of friction. 2. Customer First - Assign 5 customers to each executive at your company and build unstructured, human relationships with them. The more you can understand your customer's biggest issues, why and how you solve them better than anyone else, and use their voices of success to tell your story, the more you will expand your footprint with your existing customers and the more net new wins you will achieve in your top ICP accounts. (it all comes back to your ICP!) 3. Establish clear pipeline qualification & management definitions and expectations - When everyone knows and understands what a Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL) and a Sales Qualified Lead (SQL) are, you can build and move opportunities through the pipeline faster & more efficiently. Finger-pointing wastes valuable time and energy. 4. Outbound - This is a topic in and of itself but the keys to doing outbound successfully boil down to three things: 1. Less is more - point your sales team towards a narrow ICP, 2. Be human - do your homework, leverage customer stories, and speak in the buyer's language, and 3. Leverage technology to help increase your reachability rate and to establish & track your progress against key performance metrics that move the needle for the business (i.e. # of first meetings, pipeline created, etc) The Pipeline Council was a powerful reminder of the importance of Sales & Marketing working together to deliver high-impact marketing activities, boost sales effectiveness, and grow revenue. #gtm #salesstrategy #saassales #gotomarket #saleseffectiveness

I'm building my second startup. Why? I had a panic attack at my first. I spent a few years and so much of my own money figuring out how to learn the skills to come down from high stress situations, clear my head, stay happy, and (as a result) make great decisions. It's a journey every busy human goes through. After building those skills (an ever evolving journey), I have built a world-class team to help me bring an everyday solution to busy women: smart Moodrings (Moodring Tech). I took the Founder Mental Health Pledge because I know, first hand, what needs to be done on the individual's level to care for themself. It's not affordable and it's time consuming. We have to test solutions for ourselves inch by inch and we have to build solutions to make it easier and, even, feasible to care for ourselves. Join me...

Are we helping or hurting? That is a question many residents of San Francisco ask ourselves in the midst of a stark and increasing equity gap. As a parent, community member, and incoming board member of the Horizons at San Francisco Friends School, I’m keenly aware of the potential learning loss our public school students in the Mission District experience in the summer months without our support. Our city is undergoing another crisis - looming budget cuts threaten vital programs like Horizons at SFFS that provide equitable learning for Mission youth. We urgently need your support to secure bridge funding and ensure our summer enrichment continues. Our scholars and families are relying on Horizons' high-quality academics and social-emotional growth.  Horizons has been successfully leveraging the months when students are out of school to stem summer learning loss for children in San Francisco for ~10 years. The program has also intentionally increased impact by supporting their scholars through their educational journey during the school year and into High School. Last year, Horizons impacted 150+ scholars with targeted small classroom instruction, confidence-building, and joyful community enrichment experiences- thanks to our dedicated summer education workforce. But we can't continue without you. Please join me in supporting Horizons at SFFS today to expand partnerships, engage more crisis-impacted families, and grow our supportive community stronger. In past years, the SF Department of Children, Youth and Families has been a partner to increase access to education for our students. This summer, as we face a potential 40% loss to our summer program due to DCYF funding cuts that have impacted so many vital programs in our city, we’ve decided to celebrate Horizons Giving Day, the whole month of May. Please join me in our movement - your gift saves the summer for San Francisco scholars and helps bridge the educational equity gap in our city. Let’s help together. In gratitude, friendship and community, Aneesha #GiveTheGiftofSummer #SparkPassions #HorizonsGivingDay https://lnkd.in/gJAYnibC Links for reference: Horizons at SFFS: https://lnkd.in/gfsdugDX Impact Report: https://lnkd.in/gZc2jn85 Press Release on DCYF Loss of Funding: https://lnkd.in/gNprpSyB
