Is anyone here going to Art Basel Miami? It's December 6-8.
I'm considering (not for art - for FO and LP side events), I've never been, and would love to understand how best to approach it. Which dates makes sense to be there, where to get side event information, etc.

*R42 Creative Ideas to Conquer Cancer* (with 3 companies giving an educational talk) starts NOW (9-11am PT)!

Happy to sync up for a walk n talk at this event today if VC Lab or FI members are there. Drop me a line on LinkedIn or here.

2 years ago I made a big bet. I would revolutionize aid deliver and develop an entrepreneurship empowerment program. This past Thursday, my family office team joined me at the IRC Global Rescue Dinner as we plan to rollout both programs in 2025.

Thank you to both VC Lab and FI for their support, guidance, and an incredible ecosystem to support my life long dream as I chased sustainable social impact in my 20+ career as a serial entrepreneur turned VC. To the incredible network on here, chase your passion and be relentless in your pursuit.

2025 is going to be EPIC as I write my first book and implement the programs mention in my post below: Defy The Odds

Enjoy and feel free to drop my a line on LinkedIn or on here. Spring season as we close out 2024 :muscle: :rocket: :fire:
