@jon_cronshaw And still a favorite

@alexisohanian @jayshetty @AirbudsWidget Also s/o @favshq for doing this too 🙌

@NWischoff Tried to build this with @my_villy and learned a TON about both parent and sitter psychology. It’s pretty complicated and also varies on type of need (one of/emergency sitter vs regular nanny-type care). I tried to focus on the former. Would love to try again with partners.

@turtledumplin This is the exact sentiment of all the “held my nose and noted Trump” people I know. It wasn’t about who they agreed with more, rather who they feared more

@iamnot_elon B) No

Getting tired of sifting through trash (angry extreme content) to still enjoy the remnant of good (genuine thought exchange) on this app.

Persian food is actually the best on earth. I’ll fight everyone.

@suffiyanmalikk @sabakarimm Yes! While hilarious it’s not grounding. The worst part is trying to dovetail a meme into a convo which either gets ignored or simply reacted to.

@FracSlap This is why I stick with rescues. Less crazy from all the inbreeding. A breed doesn’t guarantee anything. Also this floof is only teatthirsty 🙃

@AmandaMGoetz And for whatever it’s worth. I’ve worked in tech for a while now (mostly fully remote companies). There’s no app or PO initiative that creates team connections like irl does. And I have a coworking space, but it’s not the same as people you actually work with.

[Shahrzad Kojouri @JoinShaz]

@AmandaMGoetz I miss it a lot. I love the flexibility I have now, but like most things what’s comfortable isn’t always what’s best. I think teams work better irl. A schedule from an outside force is helpful. And separation of home and work is great. Hybrid would be perfect.

@CinemaScene404 @TheCinesthetic Spot on

[Shahrzad Kojouri @JoinShaz]

@AmandaMGoetz Currently working on this. Stay tuned :)

@sabakarimm If we’re building in it, it’s helpful if it’s who we are 🤝

@XXfounder @LetsPlayMoney 👏👏👏

@shriyanevatia Also, if he has a strong regulatory background create target companies/industries and start networking into them. If strong litigation background try to narrow it to which industry the experience is in and again target those companies. (I’ve been in-house for 15yrs happy to chat)

[Shahrzad Kojouri @JoinShaz]

@shriyanevatia Transitioning to a more established tech company will help before trying to get to early stage. Candidly he likely doesn’t have the in-house mindset an early stage company needs yet, so bigger company will be a good initial step. https://t.co/jAYOtwRyPa is helpful

Being an early adopter of a network based app…

@justingordon212 Since I was a kid, when I saw a gap my response was to solve for it. Now, I also love the idea of building a company people enjoy working at that serves a good to people’s lives.
