One of my startup ideas does evolve from my fieldwork, but in an "oh shit I could monetize this and make money whilst helping parents & teachers" way not in a studying other techies & creatives to understand others I'm not even competing with because they have very different products way 😂

Interesting viewpoint ... I see it the other way around as some Founders are just money/marketing types with enough vision to bet on the right thing + hire capable people under them (Jobs etc.), others are artsy creative types who sort of bricoleur their way into founding something (Artistics or Creatives ?), others purposely build a thing to either solve a problem or because they want that thing to exist for themselves (Builders). There's also people who fit under more than one category or are combos, rarer all three. I'm sure there are other categories & subtypes but this seems more like a question for Dr. Mary L Gray. We're friendly aquantances, but that's not my area of anthropology although I'm also a Coder & Creative those lives of mine are quite separate from my Anthropology & charitable life. If there's a term for the first type beyond just calling them Founders I don't know it but there has to be somewhere in the social sciences.

Curious for the other women in here, where have you had the best reception in terms of putting your startup? Bonus points if it's an Ed or Health Tech one. Looking at somewhere outside the USA. 🤔

Bill Burr, sure salt of the earth guy when you meet him. Joe Rogan 🤢 is a domestic abuser who yells at subject area experts just for having a vagina. Hard, hard pass.

Oh and here's the kicker, the medicine & other preventative supplies were already paid for (by our taxes) & at the port ... But because DOGE recalled the USAID personnel nobody could get at it to distribute it. By the time a new person from the State Department was trained on how to move them & allowed in like over a week later, several things were spoiled, and many women had their babies so too late for those kids who now have HIV through no fault of their own. Conservative estimates have it at, at least 300 kids in his Native ZA (my tertiary country by marriage) alone. Do I feel let down as well as an American (ancestors all the way back to The Anne) with familial ties to ZA and a former OG Tesla stockholder who's husband had model after model of his cars ... Yes. I'll be fine though, at least financially. But these children are stuck with a chronic illness they didn't need to be all because of his anti-empathy crusade. I'd use stronger words, but this ain't Tumblr or Bsky.

I'll never be president, or fit in either selfish American culture or communist countries either and frankly I'm fine with that.

Wow you've really drunk the kool aid. Hopefully someday you leave your cult like I did. Elon has literally put a charity I've volunteered thousands of hours of my time helping children with HIV on the brink of disaster with his gutting of USAID. He doesn't care about humanity, only the appearance of it. Only Americans who are generally white with $$$$. At the clinic I volunteered with dozens of mothers missed the window to take medicines to prevent passing HIV to their children who could've had normal lives but now won't, and it's only one of thousands of groups around the world USAID was helping. It would be one thing if he was giving his own billions away to compensate in the meanwhile with a "here's something to keep you going for the next few years but this is the end" so they'd have time to figure out other funding sources but he's not. He's a selfish prat who wouldn't even give to his alma mater without being asked. Seriously fuck that arsehole.

Raising children is more important than any of this. Don't feel pressured to do more than you can. 🖖🏻

It's an interesting perspective ... but it probably doesn't apply in it's entirety to me as I'm half-Asian and naturally sarcastic. I'm all for more authenticity in life & feminism though.

Is it illegal to give away money to followers? What if I said I would give 1 ETH to a randomly chosen follower this Friday? Screw it, let's do it. I'm gonna give someone 1 ETH on Friday. Only rule: Must Recast this post with what you'd do with the ETH

Would give it's sale (minus small hold of what I'm going to get taxed) to medical anthropological acquaintance's charity in ZA who's medicine stocks are depleted, and babies are getting HIV thanks to DOGE not sticking to being a coin.
