Hi founders and fellow VC Friends!
Welcome to our first Awesome People edition of 2021. Happy new year!
May 2021 be filled with health 🏃🏻♀️, happiness 🎉, revenue 📈, happy customers (who refer most customers) ❤️, and less doom scrolling 😅.
This is special edition includes:
A 5-min survey (thanks in advance)
Community wellness perk (skip the Levels line)
Part-time opportunities (moonlighters welcome)
Recently featured talent
5 min survey, thanks in advance 🙏
Since we last spoke, I did a silent retreat and moved to Austin for 1 mo+. One of my takeaways from the retreat is I’m doubling down on all things Awesome People.
In 2021, we’ll build tools to help you find talent faster. Get excited 🎉.
Before we start building, we need your input.
Can you please take this 5 min survey? I’ll be internally grateful. I promise it’s in your best interest. These products will make your life easier.
After you take the survey, treat yourself 👇
Community wellness perk 🥑
New year, new you! So they say 😅
Building a venture-scale company is a decade+ long game. You need to stay mentally, emotionally, and physically fit. This stuff is no joke. To help, this year we’ll be sprinkling in more wellness perks.
To kick things off for 2021, here’s a link to skip the line for Levels!
They have tens of thousands of people on their waitlist and the team was kind enough to give us this magic link.
Levels tracks your glucose in real-time so you can optimize your diet, sleep, and energy levels. I was shocked to learn that a few of my daily habits were spiking my glucose to diabetic levels. Needless to say, I’ve dramatically cut down on fruit, oat milk, cashews, and Thai curry. I feel better and love knowing what’s happening inside of my body.
You can read more about the science on their blog and sign up here.
Full disclosure: I’m an early investor. Notably, the team did not ask me to do this and most of them don’t even know it’s here 😀
They’re also hiring a full-time lead designer. This is a rare opportunity to get on a 🚀. If you or anyone you know is interested, lmk and I’ll connect you.
Freelance, consulting, & advising opportunities 🙌
Very cool opportunities for you and your friends. Moonlighters welcome 😉
