Life update: I moved to SF 👋🏻. Miami was good to me but it was hard to find people in the trenches, building in the early days. I’ve learned most things from other founders and I’m pumped to be around that 24/7. SAY HI IF YOU SEE ME!!.

Closing deals on the 31st after 5pm is a thrill that never gets old.

This was so much fun! . Two years ago, a session about Medicare wouldn’t have made it onto a conference agenda for financial professionals - let alone get 150+ attendees with one standing up midway through to say it was worth the whole trip to San Diego 🥲.

Quote from Caribou's newest celebrity user, a NYT best selling author whose book was turned into an Oscar-winning movie:. "Do you offer this for any other types of insurance like auto or home? This would be great to use on all my products. It was an amazing experience.". 😎.

In less than a week we went from possible collapse due to a bank run to being the top voted new to market software in an industry-wide report on financial services technologies. Whoever warned me of the ups and downs of startup life didn’t tell me they’d be THIS EXTREME!!.
Our customers are such big advocates for what we do that Caribou was “the leading vote-getter” for technologies that should have been included in this year’s @t3techhub Insight Information Technology Survey, per @BobVeres and @FinTechie! 🎉. #T32023

While I’m relieved (all funds were in SVB), founders need to be practical about the trickle effect of this on employee retention in tech, how to communicate their company’s stability to customers, and fundraising plans. Rooting for everyone that had a crazy past 72 hours ❤️.

Security & compliance is a hugely overlooked competitive advantage and growth accelerant. We chose to explore this sooner rather than later knowing that we’d move up-market eventually. We just passed a top-20 broker dealer’s compliance review in less than 24 hours 🤯🎉.
