Fun time dropping into @BookCameo's new HQ yesterday with LongJump founders to co-work and get inspired by CEO (and LongJump LP), @mr312.
Loved kicking off our TechChicago Week 2024 with @drivecapital and @MatchstickVC talking Pre-seed Between the Coasts!

LongJump wouldn't exist without Techstars Chicago. We're sad to see the city program leaving, but we wanted to write a bit of a thank you to @Techstars, sharing some of the history & impact, as well as our plans for the future.

"And always remember, your voice matters—use it to shape your business and the community it serves." - love the advice from @kristensonday!
Balancing personal + professional growth is hard, which is why I loved sitting down with @Cosmopolitan to put pen to paper on some of favorite advice.
We cover how to prep for meetings, balance deep work with one-offs, manage self-doubt, and more: cosmopolitan.com/career/a461…
