Well here we are mid-way through the next week and I'm only just now getting this out for the previous week! Safe to say that's not the way we want to do this, so that's my bad!
We're already halfway through, so we'll save for the next week for a nice big intro recapping the launch, etc. but at least saying just how excited I am for how it went, and how stoked I am to be working with you all.
Here goes for some of last week:
News this week
- We closed the round! All the wires have hit (save for some of the community round) and we're on our way! Let's goooo
- Announcement this week and new site launch
- Going to kick off our insurance coverage with Rippling
- It got done! Head to Health benefits for details
- The biggest news in crypto this week seems to have been the Mutant Ape Yacht Club—the sequel to the BAYC
- They sold an eye-popping $96M worth of new mutant apes
- An incredible showing for IP that only started to exist just four months ago
- The big thing here is just how quickly BAYC created something people wanted, and went direct to those fans
- We have a big opportunity to work directly with these creators and help them facilitate messages to their users
- Here's my mutant ape for some fun!
- Not to be outdone, the original BAYC saw the Golden State Warriors' Steph Curry pick one up!
- Had a great chat in person with a really promising candidate, Abhishek. Stoked to see him go further through the process!
- When we first started chatting with him, he'd barely dipped his toes into crypto (and something like 4 years ago). Now he's gone deeeeeep, which is exciting.
