If you’re thinking of raising money, it’s not just VCs you can test your elevator pitch on. Instead, you could be like the founder of @reform_rx and go after high net worth individuals and celebs In @Siftedeu by me https://t.co/cpz0xYBcZp

It would be fun if public libraries were well-funded and open in the evenings and we built a culture where it’s normal to gather at the library after work and browse the shelves and chat about the latest books and read the Saturday night away.
