Do I get some points for having @cjpedregal feature in my Crunched @meetgranola? 👀

Today is the last day of Crunched. So if you haven't looked at yours yet or want to save yours, this is your last call before it leaves the app 🔔

See you next year.

finally a journalist captured the reason we're building DVC:

"“When you work with nerds, with engineers that you know share the passion,” he adds, smiling like a giddy kid. “You wake up and it’s like, whoa.”

Plus, he says, he gets to work with his wife."

Every week I share a “full stack” of essentials over on my newsletter. Sometimes it’s a founder’s latest and greatest, sometimes it’s my picks of the week

I’m going to start sharing them here on X too, with a throwback to @bloommoney_co’s @ninamohanty’s full stack to kick things off

Subscribe if you want to see them first next time https://t.co/rp2jmfgJPa

Nina’s full stack:

📖 Read: I’m probably the worst founder because I hate reading non-fiction; though I did recently finish “Careless People”, which is a shocking but not-at-all surprising look inside Facebook’s destructive rise.

🎥 Watch: My feel-good watches are “The West Wing”, “Gilmore Girls” or “大長今 (a Korean historical drama dubbed in Mandarin which I grew up watching with my mom). Because of my past affinity with foreign policy I love shows and movies like “The Diplomat” (fun fact, I’m actually an extra in series two and three) and “Homeland”.

Also, I implore every adult to watch “Prima Facie”. I had the immense fortune to watch Jodie Comer perform this live a few summers ago and it still haunts me. You can stream it on NT Live!

🍽️ Eat: Spaghetti and meatballs. That’s it, that’s the tweet! I’m a simple woman. It’s also mango season and all folks from Global Majority heritage can attest that there is nothing like a fresh, ripe mango eaten over the sink, juice dribbling down your face.

🍸 Drink: I am a fiend for a dirty martini and my plans to go to Duke’s for the first time fell through so it’s on my list. But anywhere with a good dirty martini – you’ll find me there.
