we often use a metaphor on campus "the merry go round" the workers at the merry go round sometimes want to get on the ride themselves our team helps founders build crazy shit, eventually we also want to build something too

Adan actually started on our team! He joined us to help with operations, managing our spaces, stocking food, & was always eager to help anything a founder needed he was there for, small or large, & his energy was infectious for everyone who met him
