Thanks @8bitcapital @abrams @kentlind for your early belief - we could not ask for more active and supportive investors!

Truth.

1. Shopify stock is down 50% over the past 12 months. Its mission may be to "arm the rebels," but it is giving us muskets in a war that is increasingly being fought with machine guns.

@nrmehta Oh 100%. Every game a walkoff win - can't remember that ever happening.

[Tom Cole @tom_cole]

@nrmehta Ha, I was thinking of you during the game and the possible Mehta-verse implosion. That was nuts! Totally agree with @DaveCarruthers, I could not believe that timeout. Congrats!

[PANTASTIC @be_pantastic]

Wishing you a very happy holiday from all of us at Pantastic!

[Tom Cole @tom_cole]

@joshk Total implosion. It gets ugly.

[Tom Cole @tom_cole]

As Board Chair, I’m thrilled to welcome @erickimSF as our newest board member at the @AsianPacificFnd. Looking forward to taking APF to new heights together!

[Tom Cole @tom_cole]

Really they were trying to test your sense of humor and wanted to hear, "Well, good question, let me sleep on that."

Fun fact - I bombed the project part of the interview at Walmart Ecomm a long time ago where I was tasked with explaining why Casper is a great investment. I made the project on why it wasn’t and it was apparently not the time to be contrarian

[Michele Romanow @MicheleRomanow]

It's official. This marks @SoftBank's FIRST Canadian investment and I'm so proud that we share the same mission to further empower founders around the world. So excited for this next phase of growth!🚀 @getclearco

[Michele Romanow @MicheleRomanow]

Would love more women to join my team to mentor these incredible founders. ❤️ if you know someone, please send them my way!

[PANTASTIC @be_pantastic]

Wishing you a happy Memorial Day!

Today we honor and remember those who have given their lives for our freedom.

Leveling the playing field.

[Deduce @DeduceSecurity]

Data hoarding by industry giants undermines #cybersecurity for all businesses & consumers. https://t.co/mUmLcbhApO is changing that.

I remember how many of my Asian-American friends spoke out in support of Black Lives Matter and it meant a lot to me. I am appalled by all of the violence targeted at the Asian-American community and we need to do everything we can to stop this from happening in America.
