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! 🫂
🫂 Chat & chill with each other on WhatsApp & Discord!
We want this community to be one of the highest-ROI systems in your life.
Not just with better quality games, higher quality crowds, but also infrastructure, discounts, and tools to support founders at early or growth stage, insane operators who’re looking for a job, and investors to quickly deploy their capital within the insane people who come.
