As I look back on the last 4+ years of OmBiome's existence, I can't help but be grateful for the self-imposed entrepreneurial roller-coaster of bootstrapping, night-shifts, fundraising, and emotional growth. Though difficult at times, this endeavor has unapologetically pushed me far outside my comfort zones, forced me to ask for help, and shown to me my true self. A sincere THANK YOU to all those who have graciously donated their time and emotional support - I could not have gotten here without you. As we all welcome 2024 – the year of breakthroughs! – OmBiome is finally coming out from behind the curtain. Please join us for an inspiring and stimulating evening on Saturday, February 3rd at BioscienceLA. It's OmBiome's #LaunchParty, yes, but also – Come experience: (1) unforgettable Moroccan flavor alchemy by Lalla Mina (2) an expert-level discussion and Q&A with thought leaders on #wellness, #longevity, #algae, and #symbiosis with nature (3) algae-inspired cocktails in the Jail Cell Speakeasy (4) #danceparty featuring Global Beats by TAIB. Hope to see you there! https://lnkd.in/g3yyPS4s And if not, let's connect another way this year – I would love to catch up and/or support you in your journey.
