For the past almost 3 years, I’ve introduced founders to more than 250 investors through a weekly Office Hours series I call The Good News.

Each week, we create a space for real conversations — where founders can pitch, get honest feedback, and build relationships that move their companies forward.

This Friday, we’re back with another strong lineup:

💼 Madison Faulkner, Partner at New Enterprise Associates (NEA)
Founded in 1977 and managing over $28B in assets, NEA invests in technology and healthcare companies at all stages — from seed to IPO.

🚀 Jesús Salas, Principal at Slauson & Co.
Slauson & Co. is an early-stage venture firm investing in SMB tech and culturally relevant products that empower the next generation of entrepreneurs and underserved communities.

Now hosted on Chatter Social and within The Startup Community on X, we’re connecting founders with one of the largest and most engaged startup networks online.

If you’re a founder, this is your chance to:
✅ Pitch in a safe space
✅ Get real-time feedback from active investors
✅ Build community with like-minded entrepreneurs

🔗 RSVP for Friday’s session: https://luma.com/jpy4yfiv

It only takes one conversation to change the trajectory of your journey.

Investor | Director of Development at the Tulsa Dream Center

For me, creating access has always been part of my calling. That’s why I started The Good News Office Hours nearly 3 years ago — and since then, over 250 investors have shown up to support founders on their journey.

Each week, we create a space for real conversations — where founders can pitch, get honest feedback, and build relationships that move their companies forward.

This Friday, we’re back with another strong lineup:

💼 Damian Murray, Investment Analyst at Level Up Ventures
Level Up Ventures invests in tech-enabled, early-stage startups led by founders who have traditionally faced barriers to accessing capital.

🚀 Arian Ghashghai, Founder & Managing Partner at Earthling VC
Earthling VC is a pre-seed VC firm investing in the next paradigm of digital technology with a focus on AR/VR, AI, and robotics.

Now hosted on Chatter Social and within The Startup Community on X, we’re connecting founders with one of the largest and most engaged startup networks online.

#BuildWithFaith

Every first Monday of the month we host a gathering for men to get together and connect over life and faith. We call it the Tulsa God Squad Monthly Meetup.

Last night was one to remember. A group of men carving out time to eat, talk, play games, and pray for one another — that’s the kind of intentional community that strengthens our walk and sharpens our character.

Thank you to Marquess Dennis Sr. for hosting us at the Birthright Living Legacy Headquarters. The space and the hospitality created the perfect environment for real conversation and real fellowship.

And a huge shout-out to Jimere Parker, Founder of King's Way Wings, for catering the night. Easily some of the best wings in Tulsa.

Our next meetup is Monday, January 5, 2026, and with the new year starting, we’ll be doing something fitness-related to kick things off strong.

If you’re a man in Tulsa looking for brotherhood, encouragement, and a place to grow in your walk with Jesus — we’d love to have you join us.

#BuildWithFaith

As a member of The Met Church, this brings so much joy to my heart. Thank you Pastor Ray Owens and The Met for all the work you do to serve our community.

Some partnerships go beyond collaboration — they represent a shared calling to serve our city with love and purpose.

As we prepare for this year’s Christmas Mall at the Tulsa Dream Center, we’re reminded that the strongest impact happens when the faith community stands together to care for families in need.

That’s why we’re honored to recognize Pastor Ray Owens and the Metropolitan Baptist Church for hosting a Box of Hope Toy Drive this season. Their long-standing commitment to North Tulsa continues to make an incredible difference, and their willingness to step in once again reflects a legacy of generosity and community leadership.

Every toy collected is more than a gift — it’s a moment of joy, dignity, and hope placed in the hands of a family who needs it most. And partners like The Met help ensure that no child is forgotten this Christmas.

If your church or organization would like to join us in hosting a Toy Drive Box, we would love to partner with you. Together, we can bring hope to thousands of Tulsa families.

#TulsaDreamCenter #SeasonOfHope

I'm excited for Office Hours tomorrow with Madison Faulkner and Jesús Salas. Founders interested in joining and/or pitching can register below.
