I watched @FDavidsonT work tirelessly to keep @SonderStays alive through the pandemic. All their top competitors died, but he pulled through. He’s truly one of the most resilient people I’ve ever met
5 months ago when I left Sonder there were positive trends across the business. I fought for its success day and night for 11 years, 5 of which were after a pandemic that should have crushed us, but against all odds didn't. Can't believe this is how it ends.

Proud to be an investor - @aquariusacquah @michaelssilver congrats on the launch!

A package thief came to our house in SF and stole our packages on camera. He then came back again and stole the larger package in the video. SFPD told me it’s impossible to upload video evidence to their website - that’s reserved for crimes with no video evidence. Video

https://t.co/4eAwSz3fx7 When we started Kojo, we thought about a lot of product led growth strategies. Then we realized that construction might be the last industry out there where that would actually work. So we went back to basics: personally delivering donuts and pizzas to

AI agents can prototype apps… But shipping real software takes hours of testing, debugging, and refactoring. Agent 3 is 10× more autonomous — it keeps going where others get stuck. The “Full Self-Driving” moment of software.

Why do so many company funding announcement videos start with a shot of a chair that the founder then sits down on? I assume it’s to make them look authentic, but how have we all landed on this being how we portray authenticity

10 years ago - almost to the day - I decided to move to the US to be @JTLonsdale’s chief of staff. I was 23 and knew a total of 3 people in SF. Quitting my job at Goldman Sachs in London seemed crazy to just about everyone I knew there. I loved Joe’s vision for fixing large
One of the most satisfying parts of my career is when I get to see former colleagues go on to great success. A few dozen of them are very successful CEOs these days; Maria was my former chief of staff. She is crushing it! Long Kojo.
