A founder fundraised through multiple pregnancies, which forced her to be vulnerable with her team. She points to a Twitter leader who showed emotion discussing Elon Musk's acquisition as an example of authentic leadership that works.
Fundraising, from my experience, has been quite the emotionally grueling process, so I can only imagine what that was like going through that process while pregnant. So can you talk a little bit about how your experiences have led you to be more vulnerable with your team? You had a really great tweet about it recently, but I would love to hear more about that.
I mean, first of all, I have like raised most of my rounds pregnant, so for a while I didn't even know what it was like to fundraise not pregnant. So yeah, it probably would've been a lot easier. Just physically lugging around all that extra weight made it physically very grueling. My tweet recently, there was a, just a really terrible article about a leader at Twitter kind of getting emotional and, and showing some emotion in front of her team when she talked about Elon Musk buying Twitter. And I was just like, this is This is authentic leadership.
