This is what Founders Weekend is all about. 🙌 Our #Oneof11 family keeps getting bigger, and the connection we have with every member keeps getting stronger. Maybe it's the team spirit guiding us through the beach volleyball games, or maybe those deep conversations shared on the boat under a golden sunset...But what we know with absolute certainty is that this community is the cornerstone of everything we do. To everyone who made this weekend so hard to put into words – thank you! As our friend Vasilis Apostolopoulos perfectly put it: "Being #Oneof11 is more than just a quote." It's a way of being. 🫶
