Job-Hunting reach-out to VC from previous fundraising effort for own startup
I have e-mail archive from 1y ago of my reach-out to 65 VCs in London: we had video calls, they might remember me still, who knows.
I want to send a reply/forward message to the same e-mail thread from abc@gmail.com, saying that I am looking for roles within their VC firm. Is that a good idea?
Or shall I just start new email thread and mention how I know them?

Have you looked into Fair Chance employers? There are companies that specifically commit to not disqualifying people based on history. It's not a magic fix, but it narrows the search to places that at least claim to not hold your past against you. The disability piece on top of that is a lot to navigate. I'm sorry you're dealing with both at once. Hang in there.
The board of nursing insists on letting the public know about my past. I keep trying to fight.

You should try jobs that ask for nursing qualifications but don’t require you to actually perform care. Lots of corporations hire former nurses for tech roles, nurse training or nurse navigator roles. There are also travel nurse roles that pay well, and you can just take short contracts so you don’t stay long.
You have to disclose if ever had a limited license when I disclose they say they cannot move forward. Its so painful.
