Here's why we're doing this...

[Robert Shedd @shedd]

@fahim @techwraith @RenoFiNow Yep! Thanks @fahim @techwraith This is exactly how RenoFi helps. We help determine what loan makes the most sense for what you want to renovate, and then review your contractor’s estimate and contract to ensure you’re all set and there are no gaps. Happy to answer any questions

[Robert Shedd @shedd]

@jgynot @boodtama @SpriseHQ @Montana_Wong Incredibly excited for you! Yes, do let us know how we can help!

[Justin Goldman @jgynot]

I was hanging with @yegg @ricknucci @jakestein (virtually of course) chatting about ways for our teams to bond during these crazy times. I mentioned this awesome event we came up with at @RenoFiNow & decided to write a post about it. https://t.co/VedIjdUqq2 - Hope it's helpful!

1/ I’m giving away the best startup idea I’ve ever had, it’s aimed at parents of kids under the age of 10.

I call it: Night Maids

@sbarsh @jgynot Thanks Steve!!

[Josh Kopelman @joshk]

Excited to be announce @RenoFiNow's Series A financing - and thrilled to be able to work with @jgynot and team to pioneer a new format for home renovation loans. RenoFi allows a homeowner to borrow based on the "after renovation value" of a home rather than the current value.

Fintech startup RenoFi raised a $6.4M Series A and is partnering with lenders across the country https://t.co/B4v5ljbUdO

Excited to announce @RenoFiNow's Series A fundraising of $6.4m. The @HousingWire team did an awesome job of telling our story. We are just getting started!

[Mary Ann Azevedo @bayareawriter]

My first story for @HousingWire. A scoop on @RenoFiNow raising $6.4M in a Series A led by @canaanpartners. The startup operates a #fintech platform that aims to empower lenders to offer a “next generation” of renovation loans.

I've spent the last 2 1/2 days on a remote all-hands with 200+ other people from @InVisionApp. Friends, it's going SO well.

Here's a handful of things that have made this format successful that you can borrow from:

Stripe’s next “engineering hub” is remote: https://t.co/zLosPtOA8W

Most big co's prefer centralized teams. That’s OK but it heavily limits their talent pool. Those that hire globally are fishing in open waters and will attract stronger talent imho.

[Ryan Hoover @rrhoover]

Fun announcement: In prep for @weekendfund 2.0, I’m looking for a part-time Chief of Staff to work closely with me to scale operations and support the portfolio. ☀️

Would love help getting the word out on this important role. Unlike many community roles in venture, this individual will be joining a large team focused on the reinvention of venture in service of founders. This is core to our strategy.

[Justin Goldman @jgynot]

When your investor starts calls by asking “if you could wave a magic wand, what do you want to happen”... and then proceeds to do just that... you are in Founder Heaven

Thanks to @jesslivingston @nolimits @paulg @shedd @benedictevans @mwseibel @bchesky @sknthla for inspiring our startup. 6 months ago I started Adla, happy that our first cheque is from YC.

[Justin Goldman @jgynot]

That feeling nearly a year in when validation starts coming fast and furious and the crazy idea you started with starts to seem a lot less crazy....

[Robert Shedd @shedd]

I love the note @andreasklinger ends on: “[L]et’s be honest...You already work remote, the question is only how often and how much enabled you are to do so.”

So true

[Robert Shedd @shedd]

Great post on managing distributed teams by @andreasklinger

It’s incredible to see the surge in interest in teams working remotely and this is a great primer on the key considerations and how to do it well.
