Thrilled to share this news on Valentine’s Day – Lovewick Distance Dates have officially launched! ❤️🚀 Living in the same city (or even house!) as a romantic partner is something that most of us take for granted. For over 14,000,000 people, factors like work, higher ed, caretaking, and military service mean that in-person date nights are possible only every few weeks or even months. Distance Dates is the first product in the market designed to help these couples to “go on a date” over a video call. We've partnered with professional artists, chefs, makers, and even erotica writers to craft on-demand, interactive video date experiences that couples can enjoy together while physically apart. I have poured my heart and soul into this, and I want to bring joy and connection to as many long distance couples as I can. Please help me get the word out, and share this with a friend, family member, or colleague who has to spend time apart from someone they love. https://lnkd.in/gskpSQ74 P.S. Message me or tag someone who might enjoy our dates, and I’ll DM a sweet Valentine's Day code :)

I'm excited to announce Leadout Capital's investment in First Bite, an AI-powered data platform helping manufacturers tackle the $1T foodservice industry. We're delighted to welcome Reed McCord and his team to the Leadout family, alongside great partners including Bread and Butter Ventures & Pathbreaker Ventures.
After a year of bootstrapping, I'm really excited to announce our first round of funding at First Bite! We raised a $2M seed round led by Bread and Butter Ventures, with participation from Leadout Capital and Pathbreaker Ventures. When we kicked off our fundraise in the Fall, we looked for investors who shared our vision, had both tech + food system knowledge and were people we would like spending time with, and that's exactly what we got! I had the opportunity to spend some time with Elaine Watson at Agfunder this week. She wrote up a fantastic first piece of press coverage on us. Check it out! We are thankful for our early customers who jumped in early and funneled us feedback and encouragement! Really proud of the amazing work from our team to get this point and excited for whats next! Brett Brohl Dion Dong Ryan Gembala
Exclusive: First Bite emerges from stealth to help food manufacturers navigate ‘antiquated’ foodservice channel

Congratulations to Angie Moody and the Ruby Money team on the launch of your modern accounting platform for solopreneurs! At Leadout Capital we back gritty founders with customer segment expertise and the conviction and resilience to serve a customer need. Angie, you define that resilience and grit! https://lnkd.in/gpr27a8h
Today, I am so stoked to launch the new Ruby Money 🪄 When Ruby Money first launched, we had a simple app with one goal- help the self-employed save for taxes. Two years, over $2 million in customer tax payments and hundreds of product iterations later, Ruby Money is now a full accounting solution for the modern worker. Just in time for tax season, we are launching our redesigned app with a new goal- to help you forget about, and lower, your taxes 💸 Ruby Money (rubymoney.us) combines the intelligence of a good accountant with the 24/7 responsiveness and personalization of great software. We track your income across dozens of platforms, use AI to uncover write-offs, and handle all the filing, payments and paperwork for you. Our new branding and app design reflect this evolution. Our logo symbolizes the precious gem that is your livelihood and our promise to keep you organized. The shades of ruby and bisque are modern and vibrant- a refreshing departure from the greens and blues of traditional financial software. I want to take a minute to acknowledge and thank our incredible team, particularly David Torres, Jennifer Kent, and the team at Tonik who have worked relentlessly to bring this vision to life. I’m also incredibly grateful to the investors, partners, and friends who have supported me throughout this journey; The Leadout Capital team (Alison Rosenthal and Steve Brownlie), Clocktower (Ben Savage, Ned Daoro, Ally Mccloskey), J4 Ventures (Bruce Jaffe, Jamie Rapperport, John Mitchell, Brian Jacobs), Union Bay Partners (Brian Shultz & co), Kumi Walker, Laura Spiekerman, Jackson Gates, Maya Spivack, Suzy Hendricksen, Firoze Lafeer, Mark Jamison. We would not be here without you. If you are working for yourself, I encourage you to check out Ruby Money. We built this for you. I'd also love it if you could introduce us to other freelancers or potential partners. 2024, Let’s do this!
