Had a great conversation and covered a lot of ground with @natepierotti on @TFR_Pod — from the impact of policy on startups to today's M&A climate to maintaining a founder-friendly reputation at the growth stages. Catch the interview. https://t.co/Mvnq5BSeIW

.@tdklein on what @cava's #IPO means for the market: “No one can go second unless someone goes first.”

On the horizon for the now-public #fastcasual leader: new restaurants, new markets, and new ways of delighting customers. More in @FortuneMagazine. 👇 https://t.co/nk0KZrHUm5

To close out the conversation, @tdklein asked a few of our most pressing questions. Fun fact: @cava’s ingredients can be combined into more than 17.8 *billion* combinations 🤯 and CEO, Brett Schulman, thinks you shouldn’t sleep on pita crisps. ✔️

A 🧵from CAVA’s co-founders:

Today CAVA became a publicly traded company. We want to take a moment to acknowledge our roots.

@lolitataub Some of the best intros I’ve received, have come from venture lawyers that we do business with. If the founder you are speaking with has a good relationship with an established venture law firm, they will often make the intro and it will get responded to.

In @HarvardBiz, I outline how startups can position themselves for optimal outcomes amid an incoming M&A wave. https://t.co/owKZod3MGt

[Todd Klein @tdklein]

The best CEOs I know keep three active lists on their desks:
- Top executive talent they’d like to hire.
- Potential acquisition targets.
- Companies that could be the right acquirer.

This is big. @PlayVALORANT has been the top new #esports title for two years running with audience growth that shows no sign of stopping.
