Unsolicited career advice for non-white founders in 🇨🇦.

Tweeting about business? Armies of rich dudes were ready to do business with me.

Tweeting about politics? Totally fine.

3/ On a more upbeat note. Sometime the comments hit people you don’t expect.

You can follow @StephenPunwasi.
Tip: mention @twtextapp on a Twitter thread with the keyword “unroll” to get a link to it.
