One Saturday 12 years ago, Stripe had a massive support backlog so we held a “hackathon” to clear tickets all day.
I spent my weekend answering emails and somehow remember it fondly.
Forgive the Instagram filter. It was of the time.
📣 After spending 12 years at startups like @stripe & @notionhq, I’ve joined @firstround as a partner! I knew I wanted to make supporting founders my life's work and am thrilled I get to do that as part of an incredible team. Sharing more on that... 1/7 firstround.medium.com/meet-first-rou…

On the left you have my grandfather, who was a career LAFD fireman

On the right you have the current LAFD Fire Chief & the Head of “Equity and HR”
Today is my first day at @NotionHQ, where I’ll be leading Platform & Partnerships! 🎉 If you have any feedback on our API (in the works) or partner integrations, I’ll all ears. 👂

Today is my last day at @stripe. I've had such a remarkable experience in my 7.5 years at the company and I'm so proud of all that we've accomplished. I'll miss the people the most. Their integrity and tenacity is unparalleled. ❤️
Just in case this wasn’t clear, it’s entirely inappropriate for a VC to reach out to a company that’s competitive to an unannounced investment in their portfolio and extract information under the guise of investing. 😏
This week, I’m joining the incredible team at @linear as Chief Operating Officer. In looking back on the startups I’ve joined in my career, they’ve all had a combination of extraordinary founders and customers who deeply love the product...
