Thanks a million — or should we say TWO million? This wouldn't have been possible without amazing customers like you 🥳

Have you heard the one about being in charge of your company's holiday gifting program? 😱 getting everyone's addresses 😱 finding a gift everyone will like 😱 wrapping and packaging every gift 😱 waiting in line at the post office 😱 staying in budget Now THAT'S scary stuff...

IDK who needs to hear this but... When you take care of your people, they take care of the company 🤝

brb sending gifts to our new robot overlords j/k While it's cool that robots can walk and dance (kinda) like us, there's something people can do 100x better than machines Create genuine, meaningful connections You can't outsource that to AI robots -- and you probably shouldn't trust them with babysitting either 😅

In early stage companies, I believe that "brand seeds" are a key factor in whether the company will be successful. That doesn't mean a fleshed out north star of where they want to take it or how they will get there or what it will even look like... but what "brand" at that stage does mean is: 1. The energy of the founding team. Is there the passion and spark and need to be different? To challenge the status quo? 2. The value system of what they stand for, what they believe in, and the culture they believe they want to build. If the company doesn't stand for anything, its very hard to build on top of that. 2. The belief system. Do they believe that anything is possible? The willingness to take big bets and make bold calls? I call all of these points "brand seeds" and they're incredibly important in determining whether a company has the makings of becoming successful. Is it a slam dunk? of course not. But the attitude, opinions, and belief systems of the founders at an early stage company shape everything. What are your "brand seeds" is deciding if a company is a fit for you?
