@jonathanccadams Yes. Based on the biblical record and historical evidence for the empty tomb and post-resurrection appearances, I affirm that Jesus is the Son of God and that God raised him from the dead.
Today we're launching @rokkhq - a modern compass for meaningful living.
We believe that an increased lack of meaning and happiness is one of the most important and consequential issues of our generation. Why bother to fly to the stars if we feel empty and disconnected?
While it’s a complex problem largely driven by the unintended consequences of technology, we also believe that with the right application of technology we can address these critical issues, both at individual and societal levels. But first, we need to get back to what it means to be human.
At Rokk we are reimagining inner wellbeing for the next century by making things simpler, social and screenless.
We’re putting this all together into one coherent experience that’s fun and easy to use and ultimately helps us all live more meaningful lives - a modern compass for meaningful living.

As we gear up to ship @rokkhq in a few weeks, a special shout-out to our phenomenal investor group. We're fortunate to be backed by a rare breed of people that share the same ambition, long term thinking and genuine care about other humans and the society we build.
Saul Klein @cape and Ziv Reichert @zivreichert at @localglobevc who saw the potential of what we're trying to do quicker than anyone else, and have been incredible partners so far. One of the very few investors in the world that actually 'back contrarian ideas' and 'move fast' despite so many others claiming to do it. And as some of you already know, with @phxcrt, they are doing some great things for local communities and charitable giving, so we're very mission-aligned.
Greta Anderson, Colin Hanna, @robbmof and all the other partners at @balderton whom I've worked with closely for over a decade through their investment in our previous company @lunoglobal, and who were absolutely pivotal to that success. Their results speak for themselves but as most founders in their portfolio will likely attest, they are some of the most pleasant and human-centric people to work with, and I'm grateful to have them once again join on this journey.
We also have a small group of hand-picked individuals that complete our investor group: @mhudack that was one of the first believers in what we do, Harpreet Singh Rai whom I met in Tokyo before he ran @ouraring and I co-founded @lunoglobal (long story!), @dlawee ex CapitalG and @google whom I met and learned an incredibly amount from through our previous exit to DCG, @cbryar ex @amazon who helped with critical scaling advise in the early days of Luno, @simonbeckerman of @depop and DELLI who I randomly met on a plane and shares an uncannily deep understanding of what we're trying to create, and of course long time confidant Michael Kent @azimomike .
While it's still early days for us, what I can already say with very high confidence is that the ideas that are most important for our time - in our case helping people live more meaningful lives - naturally attract the highest quality people, and this early investor group is a testament of this - an 'idea whose time has come' already in motion.
My friends bought 34 acres of Ohio wilderness.
While hiking one day, they stumbled upon a dark, dripping cavern—and decided to pour their life savings into it.
