I quit my job reporting on tech to investigate curly hair. And I advise founders on comms, narrative, crisis

@ashleevance true dedication to the science news we need

@tech__unicorn an alarming number of people think this is something they should be doing

Want to stand out? Do weird stuff that isn't obvious.

That's it. That's the advice.

@anitashmx to me, a good can of tinned fish is an instant life upgrade, so this is a great offer!

[Priya Anand @Priyasideas]

does anyone have an underused podcast studio in SF that they'd be willing to share with me? i promise to bring you my favorite tinned fish

[Priya Anand @Priyasideas]

who can help me build a podcast workflow template in notion? i spent 2 hours doing it. looked great. suddenly broke. dont have the capacity to build it again and want to ensure it does not break in future.

@orenmeetsworld Walk around and have 1-2 cicheti everywhere that seems appealing as a traveling dinner tour of town

[Priya Anand @Priyasideas]

@allisonbraley companies/ceos dont always realize that that's not how it works bc they're either 1) new to press or 2) haven't thought it through bc theyre busy doing other things. the fact that the comms people are not taking a minute to explain that and are asking themselves is embarrassing

Today we're announcing our Series C funding: $355M at a $4.65B valuation, led by some great investors @generalcatalyst and @Redpoint.

We've had insane growth in the last year, but we're still very early. So proud of the team and what we have built so far!

@ashleymayer it is the fastest way to get me to never subscribe to something. has become a plague

[Erik Bernhardsson @bernhardsson]

We're partnering with an up-and-coming startup called @AnthropicAI for this. I'm bullish – I think they could be big one day!

Interesting Amazon news today re Alexa for shopping. Reminded on my scoops years ago for @theinformation on how nobody uses Alexa to shop. They’ve been trying to make fetch happen for yearsss

[Priya Anand @Priyasideas]

@orenmeetsworld any tips for those who dont have capacity/resources to create more and are reposting reels to shorts

[Priya Anand @Priyasideas]

I am sure so many people will be like “where you been” but before I started my own things I never needed to open figma or had any apparent uses for it. Now it is my bff

[Priya Anand @Priyasideas]

Obsessed with figma

As a non designer I really am surprised by how much I can do with it with so much ease

I pay for so much software now as a founder and this is the bill that never annoys me
