Hey everyone, I'm excited that today we're getting going with our first major push to get our alpha out the door. You can see @shanemac's notes on it here:

Hi all,

We are approaching the last sprint before the end of the year. The team is coming together (Hi Graham!) with 2 more joining the Monday when we get back from Thanksgiving!

It was so great to have the energy and conversations last week exploring what our universal client could be. Let's keep that energy pushing this week and also keep speaking up and clarifying what we are going to do, how each of us plays a role in that, and by when.

What a week! Last week a few of us from the team descended into the depths of NFT land, which happened to be in New York for some time. It was awesome to have a chance to meet up in person with our newest team member, as well as just have (at least a portion) of us together at once. Especially awesome was being able to meet with people interested in learning more about XMTP, and potentially building with it.

Hi team,

193 days. That's how many days it has been since @mg sent me the first email about joining XMTP to go do this.

On one hand, I can't believe it's been 193 days. On the other hand, it feels like we've been working on this forever. It's a good reminder for me to keep making progress weekly and make sure we are tracking our goals and impact weekly. While also knowing that this is a 10+ year game we are playing so enjoy the ride.

Hey everyone,

I want to start out by saying how awesome everything felt as we closed out the week last week. We were able to come together as a team and collectively come up with new processes that will help us hone ideas, make decisions, and effectively execute on solutions. All of that is because as a group we weren't afraid to speak up and call attention to things that might not have been working—something we should always strive to do.

Hey team,

It's been a great week. Sorry this update ended up a little long, lots of great stuff happening. Sending a little early since I'm heading on vacay :)

We have 2 offers 1 offer out to candidates (woo hoo for Saul accepting!), 4-5 conversations ongoing (with lots more intros happening), and we sent our first message using XMTP this week!

Full steam ahead!

Last week really felt like we were hitting a stride in both our work, and our discussions as a company. Digging in and thinking through our hiring process, as well as some of the technical discussions, are showing some positive early indicators of our communication and decision-making process. It's encouraging that almost all of the hiring discussion happened asynchronously, with lots of thoughtful…no pun intended…discourse along the way.

Hi team,

It feels good to have such a small team all moving forward and working together.

I love seeing our first pull requests coming in and all of the discussion about culture, how we work, and our team here on Discourse. Thank you all for the continued thoughtfulness and discussion to make this the best place we've ever worked. It takes each and every one of us to lay the groundwork for how we want XMTP to be.

Really exciting week as we welcome @snormore to the team and attended one of our first conferences after going public. Things really feel like they're starting to pick up and feel very real. We've got a long road ahead of us, but it feels so incredible to really get going on this journey together.

Hi team,

It feels good to be onboarding @snormore this past week, in final chats with another great person, and so many signals from our community that this problem needs to be solved and is a huge opportunity.
