Founders Bay Brief
Where builders are showing up this week
|
|
Hi Friends,
Writing this from the airport as I head to San Diego for our annual You.com offsite, then off to NYC for a16z Tech Week, where we're hosting four events.
This weekend, I spent time with my Titanic's End crew at our annual summer camp, and it reminded me that some of the best families are the ones we find later in life.
Life gets busy. Between work, kids, travel, and everything else, it's easy to forget how important it is to have people who are there for you through the highs and the lows of life.
I'm feeling grateful for the memories, laughter, hugs, and love I received this weekend.
My heart is full. ❤️
