Hi friends,
Sending this a day late — I took my kids to Chuck E. Cheese yesterday.
Last Friday, we got some news about Liam. He’ll need to stay at the hospital for 6–8 weeks after his surgery for cerebral palsy in mid-June. So this week, I’ve been starting to prepare for that.
In between everything, I spent the weekend working on the Founders Bay website.
We just shipped a new update — you can now browse a list of VCs and members and reach out to them directly.
