&gt; if you ask me he actually barely mentioned race<p>&quot;Black&quot; appears 17 times, and the article leads with a large picture of his wrist (maybe that&#x27;s not present on mobile).<p>I felt the article was a bit oddly focused on race as well considering the business just doesn&#x27;t seem like a great way to make money. Especially if the VCs are flat out telling you they&#x27;re more interested in B2B portfolios.<p>Your ad-hom seems out of line.<p>The story opened strong since I&#x27;ve lived in Austin, Cedar Park, Belton, Troy, went to church and the mall in Temple (where my mom worked at Scott &amp; White Hospital). It ticked some nostalgia boxes for me. But the main complaint about funding and risk... I&#x27;m just not all that convinced. But again, I&#x27;m not a VC so best of luck to him either way.
