    Trying to date SF guys in between their week-long meditation retreats, Tahoe weekends, month-long remote work sessions in SE Asia, and dopamine fasting is so much more tumultuous than any start up

    1 - Loyal has earned what we believe is the FDA’s first-ever formal acceptance that a drug can be developed + approved for lifespan extension 2 - We have 'technical section complete' AKA the 'does it work' data for LOY-001 - our large dog lifespan extension drug - is done

    I kind of get "the great resignation". My dad was employee #2 at his shop, built it from scratch w/ the CEO. CEO now drives Teslas + takes huge vacations. My dad just got "promoted" to 3 weeks vacation, works every Saturday (at 64!), & makes less than Loyal's lowest paid FTE.

    I've raised one of the largest seed rounds ever for a female solo founder, for a weird, moonshot company that doesn't quite fit in most VC's pre-ordained view of the world ;) I've written a behemoth post on how this round happened, my mistakes, and - most fun - the bloopers!

    My bf is very unhappy with our objectively gorgeous new dining room setup because, and I quote, “it looks like a Sand Hill Road VC’s meeting room” Definitely some fundraising-related trauma to dig into there....

    Aubrey de Grey is a sexual predator. This is an open secret in the aging field. @LauraDeming & I are sharing our stories today so that women entering aging know this BEFORE interacting with Aubrey. Allegations include sexual harassment & abuse, including against minors
