Spending a wonderful Wednesday morning sitting on an airplane while a team of mechanics struggles to figure out how to close the boarding door. If I’m lucky this will take so long I’ll miss the meeting I’m supposed to be traveling to and I can just get on the next plane home 😂 Lots of exciting things happening in my world. I think I have enough money soft committed to my new company to think about quitting my day job this spring. All family and friends among the investors. It’s really humbling to have this many people basically say “I don’t understand what you’re doing, but I believe in you, so here’s some cash.” Very strongly motivating to succeed too when your success or failure is a success or failure for people close to you. More details in the months ahead.
Congrats, b! You’re raising money in the toughest macro environment I’ve seen. That’s impressive. It’s humbling when friends and family invest in you. It’s also a TREMENDOUS amount of pressure. This pressure is definitely motivating but it will cause Hairloss, kidney stones and will almost certainly strain your marriage. Godspeed :) PS. Let’s play tennis in the new year!
