I was hanging with @yegg @ricknucci @jakestein (virtually of course) chatting about ways for our teams to bond during these crazy times. I mentioned this awesome event we came up with at @RenoFiNow & decided to write a post about it. renofi.com/blog/looking-for-… - Hope it's helpful!

Excited to be announce @RenoFiNow's Series A financing - and thrilled to be able to work with @jgynot and team to pioneer a new format for home renovation loans. RenoFi allows a homeowner to borrow based on the "after renovation value" of a home rather than the current value.
Excited to announce @RenoFiNow's Series A fundraising of $6.4m. The @HousingWire team did an awesome job of telling our story. We are just getting started!

My first story for @HousingWire. A scoop on @RenoFiNow raising $6.4M in a Series A led by @canaanpartners. The startup operates a #fintech platform that aims to empower lenders to offer a “next generation” of renovation loans.

I've spent the last 2 1/2 days on a remote all-hands with 200+ other people from @InVisionApp. Friends, it's going SO well.
Here's a handful of things that have made this format successful that you can borrow from:

Stripe’s next “engineering hub” is remote: stripe.com/blog/remote-hub
Most big co's prefer centralized teams. That’s OK but it heavily limits their talent pool. Those that hire globally are fishing in open waters and will attract stronger talent imho.

Would love help getting the word out on this important role. Unlike many community roles in venture, this individual will be joining a large team focused on the reinvention of venture in service of founders. This is core to our strategy.
We're hiring a Community Manager in San Francisco to help us bring amazing people into the extended @firstround community. Apply here (or help us spread the word):

When your investor starts calls by asking “if you could wave a magic wand, what do you want to happen”... and then proceeds to do just that... you are in Founder Heaven

That feeling nearly a year in when validation starts coming fast and furious and the crazy idea you started with starts to seem a lot less crazy....
Great post on managing distributed teams by @andreasklinger

It’s incredible to see the surge in interest in teams working remotely and this is a great primer on the key considerations and how to do it well.
I love the note @andreasklinger ends on: “[L]et’s be honest...You already work remote, the question is only how often and how much enabled you are to do so.”
So true

With 700+ employees, a valuation in the billions and no physical office: @ClarkValberg and InVision shows that there are no upper limits of how big remote work can go. Very inspiring 🚀 businessinsider.com/invision…
