How to read a job post: look for what you'll own, a salary range, and how the last person in the role left.

Candidate ghosted you? Founder ghosted the candidate first. Circle of life.

Seven interviews isn't rigor. It's a lack of decision.

@euqides @salesforce It was an amazing night!

[Michael Sedique, MS, MBA @euqides]

Thank you to everyone who came to Sushi & Wine with Consumer Founders & VCs 🍣🍷

130+ admitted, plenty more walked in. Rooftop, sushi, wine, @Salesforce Tower views, and a robot breakdancing. Lots of you told us tech week was a miss and this was a blast

People came from @Google, @OpenAI, @Uber, @Roblox, @PlugandPlayTC, @TencentGlobal, & @Meta. We also had founders and builders at early-stage startups, teams backed by @a16z, @draper_u, @SkyDeck_Cal, and @ycombinator, and investors backing great ideas. Newcomers were welcome too!

Some of the startups in the room: @waveful_inc,
@Ironact, @lineaposture, @tryputhouse, @crosstalkfyi, @InvoStation, @OwnApp_, and so many more. I’d love to tag them all, but there are too many great ventures in this mix.

Consumer is a wide space, and this room showed it. Social products, influencers, beauty ventures,, hardware builders, AI leaders, & people making food. They never share a room. This one was built for them to meet & kindle relationships. We don’t see that gap filled anywhere else.

A lot of SF events push an agenda or a narrative the organizers barely understand. We’re one of the only teams hosting consumer tech events in San Francisco, and we deliver. We built this room around people, and everyone who walked in was included.

People left with connections, new friends, new ideas, and new partnerships. It’s the only event where everyone walks out with something. The next one is coming in the next few weeks. Can’t wait to see the new faces and the familiar ones again.

Thank you to the teams from @appsspro, @onairosapp, @vamotalent, @iconaiapp, and IPG for making the night happen. Most of all, thank you to every attendee for making it a night to remember 🙌

Here are some photos from the evening!

For future events, feel free to connect with me, especially if you're a builder or investor in the space!
