Exploring a couple new concepts in Boulder, CO | former CEO & GTM leader | adventuring in the mountains with my wife, son and friends!

@jonpbaker Agreed - I watched that house go up and it seemed super slapped together. Not surprised about the fence.

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@JWLevitt @jonpbaker @orenmeetsworld This is the model! Independent specialty retail that functions as the location for authentic marketing. Essentially, the retail is a front for a creative studio for brands.

@NattyZ My first ever job was in the transamerica building… ask me about how I flooded the 10th and 11th floors sometime :)

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@jowyang It’s come a long way from when I flooded the 11th and 10th floors via a football -> sprinkler head accident in my early i-banking days!

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@jonpbaker Their*** can’t believe I put such a grammar error out on twitter!

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@jonpbaker They’re business model and competitive advantage are ant complete odds with this goal. While noble, this would require a re-architecture from the DNA up. Ability for local shops to respond to community needs.

Maybe they could do this via acquisition 🤷‍♂️

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@jonpbaker Also… amazing validation for local shops like Alpine that already do this every day!

Time to scale Alpine!

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@JacobJaber Agreed - I heard Sean Feeney of grovehouse hospitality structured deals like this and the landlords ended making significantly more than anticipated.

the op co is adding significant value to the property but relies on the landlord to succeed. Deal structure should reflect this!

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@JacobJaber Couldn’t agree more!

Working on something to help catalyze the conversation on this topic and spark entrepreneurial energy & capital around IRL community development!

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@NattyZ What a race!!!

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@WeddingVenueGuy @measured_moves Been exploring this specific roll strategy recently! I think it’s a really solid idea. Would love to chat!

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@Camp4 Hope the recovery is swift! Had a very similar reminder this week when I tore my calf playing softball.

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

As someone who has been exploring “what’s next” for the past few years, it can be lonely and having a group of folks who are exploring what’s next can make it feel less lonely and open up new opportunities!

Reach out if that sounds like you. Application link in the comments.

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

For those that aren’t familiar, next play brings together top-notch founders, builders & operators exploring what comes next, whether that’s starting something new, joining a startup, tinkering with a few ideas, or still unsure.

@jonpbaker @Camp4 This might be the 90 degree weather talking but frozen yogurt.

Souvla in SF made an absolute killing with their Greek-inspired frozen yogurt:

@TajWalton @jonpbaker @Camp4 I think the thing that made this stand out was that it was “limited” in the sense that it was only a few nights a week. I wonder whether having a specific, rotating, simple nightly menu might help draw people in.

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@TajWalton @jonpbaker @Camp4 Loved The Mill’s pizza nights. Small, high-quality menu and the salad was a standout.

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@jonpbaker @Camp4 Lights & Music: Strung lights on the patio w/ live music, casual bites and drinks.

[Bremner Morris @bremmorris]

@jonpbaker @Camp4 The Alpine Adventure Club: a spot for a casual snack + beverage to decompress and relive your adventure in the mountains.
