Went deep w/ @operationdanish on his journey from medicine to founding and scaling @rezilienthealth.
Since I invested out of our Fund I, they've gone from 0 customers/revenue to over 300 customers and $$$ 🤫👀
Here's what we covered >>
You’ve launched, scaled, grown. Now it’s time to invest.

One of the most honest convos we’ve had on First Builders.
@kobyjconrad goes deep on what it really takes to build something mission-first—from personal healing to pre-product conviction.
Grateful to @amberillig & @racheletsui for holding space for the hard stuff!
Sober. Solo. Scaling.
@kobyjconrad went from growth lead at Rupa Health → founder of @sunflowersober
🎙 On First Builders, we talk:
– Addiction recovery design
– Raising pre-product
– Building in public

@maiab story is a wild ride—and a masterclass in founder resilience.
This convo with @AmberIllig & @rachtsui on @first_builders_ dropped right before the Chime IPO.
Perfect timing 🤌🔥
What’s surprising is that @maiab decided to stay at Chime for 7 years after that point, all the way through the IPO.
This is almost unheard of. Most serial entrepreneurs don’t love being inside of big organizations for too long post-acquisition.
Most wait until a private financial milestone is achieved in 1-4 years and then jet out to found their next company.
I’m so excited to finally share Episode 1 of First Builders!
“The best product decisions I’ve made came from getting closer to the people we were building for.” @rohinip brings clarity to what it means to build product.
@AmberIllig & @rachtsui ask what matters most early on.
🎙 First Builders Ep. 1 is live!
GP @AmberIllig and Partner @rachtsui sit down with @rohinip helped scale @Square/@blocks builds at @mercury & backs breakout startups.
A true First Builder—shaping strategy before there’s a playbook.
