Too often I hear from potential founders who say they can't do something because they lack the knowledge. But that shouldn't be a hurdle anymore. Information has never been freer. Access has never been cheaper. You don't necessarily have to go back to school or hire a team of experts to get your project off the ground. You can go out and find that knowledge and teach yourself. Watch videos, read books, talk to experts. Don't let a perceived knowledge gap get in the way of your next project.

We just wrapped up our Q3 offsite, and every team member's schedule was different. Some flew in early to explore NYC, some stayed an extra day for client meetings, and some are still there visiting friends or family. At most companies, that kind of flexibility comes at a cost: The organizer's inbox. Dozens of requests, confirmations, back-and-forth with the hotel, etc. But with @Workgrounds, every employee was able to change their dates themselves. Those who stayed late for work had their extra nights covered by the company, and those who wanted extra personal time were able to pay for their dates themselves directly on our platform – and they still got to keep the group rate. DM me if you want to give the personal nights feature a try for your next trip!

We're seeing a ramp in early stage acquisitions, which was once a staple of venture-backed exits. Some of the same players are involved (Google, Meta), but now OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX and others are in the mix too. That's a positive for the ecosystem. techcrunch.com/2026/05/01/me…

ChatGPT or Copilot for sales prospecting? Both can help, but they are not the same. And neither replaces the need for accurate, real-time sales intelligence. In our latest blog, we break down how each tool supports prospecting, where they fall short, and what GTM teams actually need to build pipeline faster. Read the full article today by commenting BLOG.

Introducing a new way to search on Workgrounds 🔎 Just describe the type of hotel you're looking for – in your own words – and our AI search does the rest. Try things like "modern hotels north of the river in Austin" or "artsy hotels for 25 in Miami" buff.ly/O8hkvym

👉 One thing our CTV attribution guide makes obvious: no serious advertiser measures with a single method anymore. Every approach comes with tradeoffs. IP matching is fast, but shared households can inflate results by 15–25%. MMM can drift 30–50% without proper geo calibration. Identity graphs only measure within their matched universe, leaving gaps everywhere else. Deterministic measurement helps teams make day-to-day creative and audience decisions with confidence. Probabilistic models help validate incrementality, budget allocation, and broader media impact over time. The strongest measurement stacks use both. The guide also maps how measurement maturity evolves over time, from simple IP-based attribution all the way to a fully layered stack combining geo testing, MMM, identity graphs, and log-level data. Build a measurement foundation strong enough to support smarter optimization, cleaner incrementality testing, and better budget decisions as spend scales. Link below for our full guide of best practices!

Our founder, Graham Parker, regularly makes this case in conversations. AI is reshaping operations. Tariffs are redrawing trade lanes. New compliance regimes, new players entirely. The pace of change is unprecedented. Few people have lived through more supply chain cycles than David Warrick. 23 years leading global supply chain at Microsoft, now EVP at Overhaul. David is joining Graham on May 13 for a fireside chat. Register: eu1.hubs.ly/H0v4Csc0 #SupplyChain #Freight #Logistics #Transportation

It’s 8PM on a Saturday. Dog walked. Wine poured. Phone lights up. It’s a founder. We pick up. Building doesn’t happen 9–5 — and neither do the conversations that matter most. Skylar Dorosin shares 8 questions founders ask as they scale (via @StephNass ) openvc.app/blog/eight-questi…

There are so many types of travel, meaning there's no one owner at most orgs. We built Workgrounds for anyone who plans company gatherings, from EAs to finance to HR to managers… and everyone in between. CEO @nsethi talks about it on @nvpcap's podcast: buff.ly/y4UXrgb

Excited to share that we just closed our 2nd fund @nvpcap Fund II! Our thesis is straightforward, the next generation of defining companies will be vertical AI. If you’re a founder on a mission to transform physical industries with AI let’s talk. nvpcap.com/blog/nvp-capital-…

“It’s a skill set hard to quantify some times but I love it,” says Vaughn Crowe co-founder and managing partner of venture firm @nvpcap They call Vaughn “the connector” in the VC space. He just raised $80 million to invest in startup AI software companies. Alongside partner Dan Borok, nvp will invest in 25 startups with check sizes up to $3 million. Vaughn joined me on The Enterprise Zone at @Nasdaq to discuss. youtu.be/xq5Sts0472E

I once sold my car to make payroll. Seriously. That moment didn’t just test me. It clarified the problem we’re now solving at @freightbillz and gave me the conviction to build something better. So when @danielborok invited me to join him on Between Two Quarters for @nvpcap's Founder Series, it felt like the perfect place to unpack that journey. Big thanks to Dan and the entire nvp capital team for backing founders who have lived the problems they’re solving like I have. youtube.com/watch?v=CPxEKHyW…
