I could not be more excited today to announce my latest "side hustle" for diversity, equity and inclusion in venture capital and tech. Today, I'm pleased to announce the public launch of "Unicorns to the Moon"!
Unicorns to the Moon
Unicorns To The Moon is an action-packed tabletop game that lets you play as a hotshot VC! Your job as a VC, of course, is to simply invest in unicorn companies, and send them to the moon.
Wait… Mike created a board game?
Yep!
I've been moonlighting and bootstrapping the creation of this game for months now for 3 reasons:
1) Diversity and Inclusion is incredibly important to me, and I realized that funds generated by this game could go to great causes tackling that issue.
2) Diversity and Inclusion doesn't happen without Access and Opportunity, and therefore accessibility is something that I am also very passionate about. I thought, what better way to make an industry like VC more accessible to people of all walks of life than by introducing them through a fun game?
3) I'm kind of a game nerd, tbh.
So, what is the best part of Unicorns To The Moon? The majority of profits go to charities supporting diversity and inclusion in technology, venture capital, and entrepreneurship! Yes, the game is an absolute blast, but we're most proud of and excited for driving more diversity I.R.L. And, I've designed it in such a way that it should be educational for many, especially older kids / young adults.
So, today I launch Unicorns to the Moon, and I hope you'll join me in my creative philanthropy in whatever way works best for you - sharing this post, sharing the game, following us on twitter or instagram, pre-ordering a copy for yourself, friends, family, mortal enemies... you be you.
Cheers!
