1/ Lemme see if I can break this down. I'm spending a lot of time with VCs heading into YC demo day and there's an elephant in the room.

2/ The fundraising process is definitely different for founders of color than it is for others. Both for the founders and VCs evaluating us.

@_mattjoseph don't agree. Your qualified if your qualified. All else means nothing. No gender, no race, no religion. Be you and kick ass

@_mattjoseph TY for the glorious storm, much needed courage and honesty. Hit me up if you want to chat, I'm a VC, and I get it :)

@_mattjoseph thank you for this. I am about to RT your entire TL right now seriously. Wow

a really powerful tweetstorm from @_mattjoseph. very glad i read. rooting for Locent - looks like a killer solution

@_mattjoseph kudos to you. A really important & underserved topic. You should consider transplanting to Medium for posterity. 🎖👍👊🏽

@_mattjoseph I love all of this and am sharing with my network. Thank you!

@_mattjoseph so VCs aren't racist against Chinese/Indians/Koreans but are against Mexicans/Blacks? Must be tough for them to keep track!
