In 2022, I packed my life into a carry-on suitcase and 45L backpack and set out to build many lives across nine different countries. From communing in a hippie village of Peru, to co-living with 20 startup founders in Lisbon, here's my story:

@HomeAffairsSA I'm an Indonesian national flying to SA tomorrow Apr 8. I mistakenly applied for an eVisa (ref: EPS-ZMVR, never paid) instead of ETA. Your system is now blocking me from switching. Emailed DHA since Friday, no response. Contact centre says they can't cancel. Help.

@Leon_Schreib your old eVisa portal is blocking me from using the new ETA system. I mistakenly started an eVisa app and now can't withdraw it to apply for ETA. Flying to SA Wednesday, emailed every DHA contact I could find. No reply. Can you help? Ref: EPS-ZMVR
Over 95% of Silicon Valley Bank's deposits are not insured by the FDIC (due to being over the $250,000 limit)
That is over $160 billion in uninsured customer deposits
About half of all venture capital-funded startups in the US are customers of SVB
That's 65,000 startups

be kind to everyone around you today. the tech industry needs it.
My buddy Tim just launched his app @sevennsocial that brings friends together in a real way. I personally know how much care and thoughts he put into this space. Check it out!
1/ Super excited to announce the beta launch of @sevennsocial last night at the SF Pitch Competition after 8 months of building, testing and iterating.

People suffering from addiction, are actually suffering with the inability to self regulate.
They're suffering from deep emotional pain.

Building a startup is hard.
Takes more time than most expect.
Takes more learning than most expect.
Takes more failing than most expect.
Takes more grit than most expect.
Takes more optimism than most expect.
Just keep building and please keep going.
