This is a pet peeve; when an angel investor with <0.2% ownership asks for a recurring meeting to report on “progress”. This has never happened with a founder investor - they’re usually too busy and know better.

Israel’s massacre in Rafah yesterday was beyond horrific. History will remember how the world, including the US, responds. Anything short of an immediate ceasefire, return of hostages and withdrawal from Gaza is unacceptable.
