2011 was a stylish year as @Poshmarkapp made its debut, redefining fashion retail online. Pioneers like @Tracy_Sun, @marrc, #ChetanPungaliya & @ggolwala drove fashion tech to new heights, eventually leading to an IPO as $POSH. #20YearsOfUncorkingInnovation

No matter how far we come, we get reminded that it's not enough. This is why I raised $111M for @serenaventures. To support the founders who are overlooked by engrained systems woefully unaware of their biases. Because even I am overlooked. You can do better, @nytimes.
