Bring out the guacharaca: VCF Parranda #8 was such a joy - we welcomed new members, celebrated our first engagement (congrats Divanny Lamas & Greg Bennett! please ask them how the proposal went down 😂), and paid respect to the over 40+ crew we now have in la familia. What a time.


🤠What happens in Austin.....never gets documented because the Shiner's are flowing: Great meetup in Austin! No picture here, all we have as proof is this tweet
Loved meeting @FamiliaVc in Austin last night. I’m excited to bring new folks into the startup scene and teach them a thing or two about living well in this city 🌇
