Knowing your audience is everything.

So often we can make assumptions about strangers entering a room with us.

But once the curtains unveiled, the fabric of conversation can envelope in ways you don’t expect.

Grateful for @2048vc and @JoinEdgeCity for letting me play in your sandboxes over the last 24 hours ⌛️

[Liz Wells @TheTechBioGirl]

Official knighted for @JoinEdgeCity @LongJourneyVC and embarking on a season of residencies & returning to ‘summer camp’ 👑🌻

Being moved @heyohelen’s X presence (& manifesting I can someday be as cool as her!)

[Liz Wells @TheTechBioGirl]

Since starting Omnalis, I’ve had to make a LOT of sacrifices.

Missing friend gatherings, weddings, life celebrations, birthdays.

Currently, I’m at my five year Brown Reunion. This trip has been a good reminder that work is always there and your college reunion isn’t.

[Edge City @JoinEdgeCity]

@TheTechBioGirl is building Omnalis, a protocol intelligence platform that catches cross-document conflicts in clinical trial submissions before they reach the FDA.

She co-designed the first MPH concentration in Healthcare AI at Brown.

[Liz Wells @TheTechBioGirl]

SO pumped to be apart of this!

Thank you @EdgeEsmeralda, @LongJourneyVC, and @JoinEdgeCity for this opportunity!

[Edge City @JoinEdgeCity]

Grateful for a front row seat into the conversation between @Xaira_Thera and @AnthropicAI. Curious to see how embedding in house wet labs will impact frontier labs’ the domain expertise, feedback loop and horizontal differentiation.

Today, being a solopreneur can actually put you at a structural advantage when it comes to fending off burnout. Here’s how:

The IRL connection economy is a $400B+ market.

And companies are racing to own it.

In the last 6 months, $800M+ in capital was deployed on "IRL" bets.

@Tinder invested $60M into a new Events feature for connecting matches in-person. They're pivoting to IRL and offering experiences such as speakeasies, raves, and pottery classes.

@222place: raised a $10.1M Series A to curate blind social experiences for Gen Z. Personality-matched groups sent to hyperlocal nightlife events.

@JagermeisterUSA launched BestNightsVC - the only venture fund in the world dedicated solely to nightlife and IRL connection. 16 portfolio companies across 4 continents.

@timeleft: dinner with 5 strangers, every Wednesday. €18M ARR. 6,500 dinners/week across 200+ cities.

Dion: members-only social app where the first move is buying someone a real drink, redeemed IRL. 10K members, 30K+ on the waitlist founded by @revekkapal.

Pie: Bonobos founder @dunn built an IRL friendship app. $24M raised. 130K+ MAU.

@weroad_official: group trips for 20-30 year olds who don't know each other beforehand. $150M valuation.

Matchbox: is an algorithm-powered matching platform for IRL events and has powered over 100,000 connections. founded by @liamjmcgregor (prev @MarriagePact)

New dating apps like Known @Celesteamadon, Cerca @MylesCerca, and Ditto @AllenWangzian are aiming to improve connection amongst young people.

Billion-dollar companies are paying $$$ for community and events leads:
- @AnthropicAI: Marketing Events Manager ($255k)
- @tryramp: Community Manager ($223k)
- @tryramp: Events & Culture Manager ($181k)
- @duolingo: Senior Community Manager ($193k)
- @NotionHQ: Community Programs Lead

Everyone knows the more time we spend online, the more valuable real-life connection becomes.

The question isn't whether IRL wins.

It's who facilitates it best.
