Just saw the @spacex Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral rocketing through the sky carrying 50+ @SpaceXStarlink satellites into low earth orbit. Viewed in New York’s Hudson Valley. Amazing! 🚀✨ #spacex #Starlink #NASA @NASA

1/ Last week we wrapped up our Q1 2021 remote team summit at @getro 🎉

Here are a few lessons learned if you're considering running a remote team summit for your company:

[Matthew O. Brimer @brimer]

Proud of @WhitneyFalk and her team for this great feature in @Forbes about how @ZZDriggs is proving new ground with a sustainable & innovative furniture-as-a-service model that is garnering both enterprise real estate clients & design-conscious consumers. https://t.co/gN3s6pNqRE

NYT: "A group of founders, investors & business leaders from the tech industry endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in a letter, saying he would support small businesses, foster unity and “govern based on facts & reason, not fear & impulse.” https://t.co/F1NWNwrQdJ

[Matthew O. Brimer @brimer]

Entrepreneurship is a crucial cornerstone to America's economic strength and resiliency. And it always has been.

Founders & business owners can join in to sign our letter in support of @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris here: https://t.co/CPGA7cQEKg (please share)

[Jenny Fielding @jefielding]

At @TheFundGlobal we are committed to supporting founders from all backgrounds and are excited to launch BUILD, an 8 week program equipping entrepreneurs with both the resources and network needed to succeed. Join us, get involved, spread the word! 💥💥💥 https://t.co/RSBV00BHHM

In which I discover I am a talking head on a Zoom call with David Byrne of the Talking Heads @DBtodomundo

[Jake Schwartz @jakeschwartz]

Some exciting personal/company news: After 10 years, I'm handing over the reins @GA! Today I introduced the team to Lisa Lewin, our new incoming CEO.

@bhargreaves @GA @brimer @jakeschwartz @adampritzker @mimiochun going through old emails and found a message from @brimer about a “Superconductor Sponsorship”.

whenever I think of GA, I’ll never forget that name!

[Brad Hargreaves @bhargreaves]

10 years ago, @GA signed a 10 year lease at 902 Broadway in Manhattan. At the time it was just @brimer, @jakeschwartz, @adampritzker, @mimiochun, and me. It's absolutely wild to see that first space again without walls or furniture a decade later.

[Eric Quidenus-Wahlforss @ericw]

Today I’m excited to tell you about Dance, the new company I’m launching with @alexanderljung and @springub. Dance is an e-bike subscription service with the power to transform cities. We’re starting invite-only, sign up for the waitlist here https://t.co/FEEl5zpy4d More below 👇🏻

[ZZ Driggs @ZZDRIGGS]

There are far too few people of color in the American design community. We are committed to bringing more Black design talent onto our platform. Today we commit to #15percentpledge in devoting 15% of our inventory to Black makers.

“The opportunity for the entire world to take a pause instead of just rushing, to see what matters to them, what they really value— that can be an amazing thing that collectively comes out of this.” -Matthew Brimer @brimer, co-founder @GA & @dybrkr on @TatlerAsia’s #GenTStream.

[Matthew O. Brimer @brimer]

In 2018 a bunch of entrepreneurs in NYC built a thing called "The Fund" to enable founders to support the next generation of local entrepreneurs at scale. Today we are 60 investments deep, expanded to LDN & LA, and the community is as strong as ever.❤️🌎🚀 https://t.co/v7lenGUWfg

[ZZ Driggs @ZZDRIGGS]

A little design #escapism is never a bad thing, especially when it's the astonishingly detailed tiny rooms and #tinyfurniture from @rokubunnnoichi in Japan

[ZZ Driggs @ZZDRIGGS]

After years in the making, today — Earth Day — we are launching the new and expanded ZZ Driggs to the world.
#ZZDriggs features contemporary, antique and vintage furniture on demand when you want, for as long as you need, all available for rent or purchase

We're fascinated by the article out from @elizabethics exploring how epidemics impacted interior design. Who knew #subwaytiles used in restaurants proliferated as a means to make people feel more safe in the wake of foodborne diseases? #solutionsnotproblems #pandemicsolutions
