It's over, I welcome our new AI overlords

My favorite part is when it's like ANYWAY I'm working, go bother someone else now

From Parenting App to Leading Childcare Marketplace

@Winnie started as a tool for parents to find kid-friendly spots, but its pivot to focus on childcare transformed the business.

@Alex sat down with Sara Mauskopf @sm to learn how Winnie’s grown into a national resource for daycare, preschool, aftercare, and more.

"We spent years building the platform, amassing a massive directory of childcare data to support parents and providers across the U.S."

Today, on Mom’s Equal Pay Day, we visited Guidepost Montessori in Emeryville, CA with @Winnie. Childcare is critical infrastructure- like technology and roads- that allows women to work and meet their families’ economic needs.

California services like https://t.co/wxJJNiP3I4 along with childcare centers like Guidepost, and connectors like Winnie, help us reduce gaps in access to care. #MomsEqualPayDay

@sm @aunder Can I move into your playroom?

[Anne K. Halsall @annekate]

@sm It’s au pair time!

FYI it took me many years to figure out

“It’s important for us to build a relationship with you long before we invest”

actually just means

“we are trying to gather intelligence on your industry for free and have no intent to invest in your company”

A horse. It's like a unicorn but it's real.

It feels pretty darn good to have @Winnie make it on the #Inc5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies by revenue this year (177 overall, 1 in Consumer Services)

I decided to use this opportunity to write a little bit about how we got here https://t.co/JbVDDpVz2W

[Sara Mauskopf @sm]

I dated @mauskopf for 3-4 months before deciding to marry him and @annekate I knew about the same amount of time before deciding to start a company with her. Gonna be celebrating 12 years and 8 years respectively. With some people you just know.

@sm @mauskopf And who are quick to secure the best talent 😎😎

[Anne K. Halsall @annekate]

@sm @mauskopf Most of the time when operating a fast moving business you don’t have 18 months to make decisions. Invest in founders with killer instincts 😎

[Sara Mauskopf @sm]

The summer camp scramble is real!!

[Anne K. Halsall @annekate]

@TabbySable So fierce!

[Anne K. Halsall @annekate]

@mrsrioki @ewarren @sm @Winnie Thank you for the support! 🙏🏼

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

The head of a company should be able to focus on running that company and making payroll, not scrambling to become a banking expert. That’s one reason why we have regulations in the first place. And we need to make them stronger. https://t.co/sLGMtG7SV8

0/ So grateful for the probably 50+ people who helped @Winnie in some meaningful way these past few days. To name a few folks (besides @annekate & @mauskopf obviously) who were on call for me ALL WEEKEND at all kind of crazy hours:
