I moved to Austin 13 years ago. I did not know a single person in the city. My first apartment was $400/month, and I had 3 random roommates. Despite the challenges of moving to a new city, I felt like Austin had amazing people, great opportunities, and a place for me to grow. Last night, Workweek was chosen by a panel of judges for the Austin A-List awards as the best startup at the Series A level. We also were nominated for the C-Suite Leader award and People's Choice. It's a full-circle moment and one I feel incredibly grateful about. This team is unbelievable, and I'm the most excited I've ever been about what I'm building. And that's what it's all about. We're having fun. We're making work fun, and we're just getting started.

First creative and feature launch I've had the chance to work on at @claim so far. Pretty excited with how it turned out.
We're on a mission to help Gen Z save money while discovering new things with friends every week. Introducing Streaks: the new way we're rewarding our most loyal Claimers. With Streaks, we can offer the best Claims to our users most likely to convert. The higher the streak, the rarer the Claim 🔥

Threads exec: Hey so our giant festering algorithm of misery has been really profitable but it's not very fun and people are mad all the time :( Meta exec: Have you tried offering someone $500 to pretend to be happy? :) Threads exec: *Begins to reflect deeply*

Somewhere along the way, most of the value proposition of influencers has disappeared. My social feeds are now full of unrelatable people with fake podcasts shilling products I can't trust - so I scroll right past. All my big purchases are made through friends now - via unpaid, unbiased endorsements in group chats and over coffees - most recently AG 1 via @OneBandwagonFan. @claim is the first social spending platform that understands this new paradigm and gives me what I really want: a way to save money when I try things my friends like. Such a blast to work on it with @samobletz, @tapstephenson, and the team.

What most of y'all don't realize is this tsunami of A.I. for content creation & storytelling will only make the most HUMAN of stories *more* valuable as the rest gets commoditized...

Some things are bigger than basketball. The stand taken today by the players and org shows that we’re fed up. Enough is enough. Change needs to happen. I’m incredibly proud of our guys and we stand 100% behind our players ready to assist and bring about real change

I can kneel confidently because i know that with just that small gesture, a much bigger message is being conveyed. And also within that gesture the voices of those who no longer have a voice can be heard.

If you were going to publicly protest and march right now- why wouldn't it be over the lack of easily available, free tests? If we had that, we could be out having a normal Sunday right now.
