Hey friends 👋🏼 Startups are games. This newsletter is about empowering brains (with game theory 🧮), hearts (with community & wins 🫶), and networks (with new big-brain founder & investor friends through games 👾).
Today, we’re shouting out the community - celebrating wins and helping each other win faster! 🫂
☕️ Let’s Meet You!
We haven’t met many of you yet… and we’d love to change that!
Over the past few weeks, we’ve had hundreds of you reading, replying, and sharing your wins. It’s been incredible to see this community form across SF, London, NYC, and beyond.
So Khalid & I are opening our calendars for quick 15-minute e-coffees with readers.
No agenda - just genuine chats to meet the people building this movement, hear what you’re working on, and see how we can help you win faster.
If you’d like to join us for one, grab a slot below - looking forward to meeting (or catching up) with you! 👇🏼
