[Dynamite Circle @DynamiteCircle]

Stoked to have you, Greg! 🧨

[Greg Berry @gregmberry]

Making my return to @DynamiteCircle in Mexico City this year. It's been too long!

[Dynamite Circle @DynamiteCircle]

First batch of DC events happening in 2026 👇

Not including monthly Local Events (“Juntos”) in 100+ cities, and more Global Events added each quarter!

The entrepreneurial journey can be lonely, but in the DC you don’t have to do it alone.

[Dynamite Circle @DynamiteCircle]

There’s definitely something special about being in community, in-person, that’s hard to replicate.

Lifestyle location-indie founders in Dynamite Circle have been getting together in cities all over the world since the early 2010s.

Here’s where we’re hanging out this year:

[Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapital]

Calling it right now. Being offline is going to become the new luxury activity in the coming years. It's going to be marketed as a high status social signal. It will be considered low class and uncouth to be on the Internet. There will be a boom in outdoor activities/supper clubs.

[Dynamite Circle @DynamiteCircle]

At most business conferences, status is the flex.

At DC events for lifestyle founders, collaboration is the flex.

I’m in NYC for a Dynamite Circle Event.

My friend Ben is here. He has a company that makes custom designed condoms, got a lot of press in 2008 from Obama condoms.

Turns out he made the Trump condoms in the Epstein release today. What a world.

[Olly @helloitsolly]

Back from NYC and my first @DynamiteCircle Black event

DC Black is for founders doing > $1,000,000 in revenue

I played baseball at Citi Field

Watched two musicals

Joined a fireside with @heif, the founder of @Meetup

And had two masterminds with some of the smartest entrepreneurs I know

My plan for 2026 is starting to firm up and it's mainly about growing the team to drive growth from $1M to $2M ARR

I'm going to hire

- A marketing ops / assistant
- A growth marketer
- 2 engineers

I'm also considering ways to drive more revenue through customer expansion, and even buying competitors(!)

It's fair to say I've come back feeling connected and focused

Thanks @TropicalMBA for organising

PS - yes there was street karaoke, it's NYC!

-Instantly AI: handling cold outreach follow-ups and booking calls automatically.

-Retell & VAPI: AI voice agents for after-hours lead capture, praised for accuracy and low “hallucination” rates.

I am terrified

Wilson and I have worked on Senja for 3 years.

Shipping together, every week, side by side.

He's my ride or die, and I thought we were in this until the end.

Together we've built an incredible product that serves 2,500 paying customers.

But he’s ready for a new chapter.

And I'm not.

We've been stalling on this decision for a very long time.

At first I thought "if he's out, I'm out" and that I couldn't do this alone.

But over the last year, something changed.

I found a tribe. People like @jodie_cook @lkr @brennandunn @ItsKieranDrew and @nico_jeannen.

I found energy at @DynamiteCircle, @MicroConf, and with the #buildinpublic community.

I focused on my mental and physical health.

And I now work with the incredible @rotimi_best, who brings product and customer support excellence every day.

So I’ve decided to keep going.

Keep building. Keep growing. Keep making an impact.

It’s going to be tough.

But it’s right for me, and for Senja.

And through it all, I’ll have something even better than a cofounder: a life-long friend in @euboid.

We built something beautiful and I’ll always be proud of that.

Here’s to your next chapter, Wilson.

And here’s to Senja 2.0.
