Founders Bay Brief
Where builders are showing up this week
|
|
Hi Friends,
Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July weekend and got to enjoy the fireworks!
I spent the 4th with Liam watching the Oakland fireworks from our hospital room. Today he's with his dad, so I'm spending the day with Sako, working from Mountain View.
Next week, I'll be hosting two Founders Bay events:
- Our Founder & VC Dinner at Focus Innovation Studio
- Our signature VC/LP Dinner at Western Bank
Hope to see some of you there!

Community Moment
๐ฅ TITANIC Burns at Burning Man
|
|
|
|
Be part of the 2nd largest burn after the Man.
My community Titanic's End is bringing TITANIC to the playa โ two halves of a sinking ship rigged with pyro and lighting. 7+ months to build, 6 days out there, then we burn it down. Learn More โ
Want to be part of creating this experience? We need 130 Perimeter Crew for Friday's burn โ stand feet from the fire as the crowd falls silent, then erupts.
