The stuff dreams are made of. 16-year-old @AlexPfeiff17 became the youngest goal-scorer in @NWSL regular season history. Her first goal with KC Current, a game-winner in her pro debut. At the first stadium purpose-built for a women's sports team. Iconic.

This is Kansas City. This is groundbreaking. This is @thekccurrent! @portkc is proud to be a partner in transforming the game.

Term sheet etiquette for VCs and founders: VCs: 1) Don’t give crazy short exploding deadlines (e.g. <48 hours). 2) If there are special deals for founders (new option grants, secondary), offer them to employees as well. 3) Aside from standard legal DD, if you have more business diligence to perform, don’t issue an early TS and ask for exclusivity to finish it. Finish it first. 4) If a founder has already signed a TS with another firm, it’s poor form to try to blow it up and pressure the founder to renege. 5) Don’t try to alter the terms of a deal after it’s been signed. Founders: 1) While I think it’s acceptable to leverage a term sheet to get other offers, don’t share details on the offer without permission from the investor. 2) While short fuses on term sheets are lame, don’t leave a TS hanging. Make a decision in a timely manner (a week is reasonable). 3) Don’t lie about term sheets you don’t have. Word gets around fast. You don’t have a real offer until you have a written document. 4) Once you sign a TS, you have given your word to partner with the VC at the agreed upon terms. Unless something egregious happens afterward (terms change, you uncover a huge red flag about the VC), you are ethically bound to close the deal.

Today HR 2799, a legislative bill, has passed the House of Representatives in the US. This bill will have a huge impact on startups and emerging fund managers if it can become a bill. Who cares and why is this important? More >>

Today I’m proud. My work has meant something. It’s been difficult to stay with the long term vision & mission, but I helped HR 2799 pass. We’re continuing to work & exciting details are coming soon. But improving this startup ecosystem is my goal.

So grateful to you @PatrickMcHenry for your important work. Entrepreneurs and smaller investors who want to help them thank you!! Please vote YES @repcleaver ♥️ @KCRiseFund
