    Got to co-work from a @wander in Bandon Dunes, Oregon this weekend and it has been paradise. Beautiful place to do Zoom calls and deep work, while taking magical beach walk breaks. Everyone in our group agrees: best travel platform ever. Wander is the future of nomadic work

    If you’re a founder building an ambitious startup, getting @jaltma as an investor is a superpower. On a journey with many helpful investors, he stands out as especially great. He is kind (even during hard times) and moves mountains for his founders. Truly outstanding guy.

    Woke up this morning and saw that Forbes put @owner on the Next Billion-Dollar Startups list. It hit me hard. 🥹 I teared up, because this was a dream come true. I started Owner as a 17-year-old high school dropout. I didn’t know anyone in tech. But I watched the tech world
