This was such a great session. Thanks @gavin_kickstart for everything you do for our community.
Replying to @gavin_kickstart
@gavin_kickstart sat down with @siliconslopes Start School to talk non-consensus bets, why most businesses shouldn't take venture capital, and what separates founders who make it from those who don't. Watch the full session and read the recap, linked in the comments!

I've had a front-row seat to what 47G is building, and I’m excited to be a part of the first-ever Hard Tech Week. Utah has become one of the densest hard tech bases in the country. Rockets, drones, isotopes, energy, composites. The work America's future actually depends on, built right here. This October 26–30, Hard Tech Week will throw the doors open to the world. A full week of tours, demos, and a behind-the-scenes look at what we build here, anchored by the highly-anticipated Zero Gravity Summit. Monday it was announced that Olympian Shaun White will be a keynote speaker.  Watch the video below. Then come see it for yourself. 👇 47G.org/hard-tech-week Early bird tickets for the Zero Gravity Summit only last two more weeks before the price goes up, so get your tickets now.

Well we just raised $81M at a $1.25B valuation led by Smash Capital, Pelion Venture Partners, and Cervin Ventures. Over the last 24 months we've grown working with 100 Brands to more than 4,000. Every month has broken the record from the prior month. But it's always strange to announce these things. Really we all just think about how much work is in front if us. This is a hard problem and we are excited to keep solving it for Brands. For this launch we decided that instead of spending a few 100k bragging about ourselves in a fundraising launch, we made a video in house (the actor is by far the worst I've ever seen) and we're putting the money to better use. It's going to YOU. Our Brands and their Shoppers. The only reason we were able to raise this round is because thousands of brands trust us with their business. More than 70% now trust us with multiple solutions, not just Returns. That trust means everything to us. So we asked ourselves a simple question: What if we spent the announcement budget on them instead? Here's how we're gonna do it: 1. Tag a brand that uses Redo (link to brand list in pinned comment) 2. Tell us what you love about them 3. We'll give 1 person for each Redo brand $100 to spend on their site To all our brands. Thank you.
