My heart 💕is grateful to you all. Thank you for joining us despite so many other competing #sftechweek events we had a long line and full room! Thank you @i_zerbib and @Bencera for your wisdom. More importantly thank you to my team for making this possible. Good, bad, and pretty takeaways of the solo founder journey- -We learned that solo founder surround themselves with many agents, contractors, and senior executives. -Staying solo for experienced founders allows them to move fast -Most successful solo founders are high functioning self starters -Solo founders live in founder mode at all times -Delegation / time off is tricky. They feel guilty taking time off -You do need capital with to hire good talent around you -Without strong intuition you can keep launching failed products & never know when to pivot or what pmf is and noone to push back on you -Marketing as solo founder is tough and lot of experiments -You have to do all jobs at the company to learn how to hire -If you figure this out you can run a well oiled machine, make fast decisions, and change directions really fast.

after 8+ years at @Coinbase, I'm still learning every day. the past year as CBO and now leading IR has brought a whole new set of challenges and a fresh perspective on the business. great convo w/ @derekhsue about what we’re building and what’s ahead - with a little padel talk along the way.

I love this-- thanks for including me. How special to be group with all people I admire!
