    Some personal news 🤘 1) I left @PointNineCap at the end of last year. I'm super grateful to have worked with the amazing P9 team, the founders we backed, and the whole p9family. I'm also grateful for all the good people I met along the way. So what's next?

    Looking at my Twitter feed, I had a lot of FOMO not being part of this community. Luckily, this will change. Super excited to be part of @beondeck founder fellowship #ODF8 starting in February 🙌 Looking forward to it @gonsanchezs @ErikaBatista @nateforster_ 😍

    Having a @loom on your landing page is actually really cool. You get notifications when people watch the video and react to it 😍

    We had the biggest tech IPO in Germany since 2000 coming out of Göppingen, a town with 250k people in Southern Germany, and somehow nobody is talking about it?! 🤔

    Tesla is building a factory near Berlin for electric cars. Ford is building a factory in Cologne for electric cars. Apple is building a major chip lab in Munich. Maybe the competition will help to wake up German incumbents to invest more in talent, not in machines!

    This year, the number of people who will retire is 2x the number of people who are entering the job market in Germany. Let that sink.

    I cannot wait for the day that somebody will disrupt the notary business in Germany. Unlikely it will be soon but the day will come 🙃
