if you've ever considered using a stylist, Stitch Fix, or Trunk Club — I want to chat with you. feel free to shoot me a dm or comment
the world is full of products created with no passion or care for the customer be different and create something with care and passion. create something as if it’s your life’s work and it may well become it.
when we got a @ycombinator interview, we cold emailed some alums to help us mock interview and that helped us tremendously if anyone wants a mock interview or any advice on the pitch, happy to help
We're launching something for consumers soon and looking for more people interested in beta testing. If you are a women who wants to see themselves in the items before you buy, comment or dm to be added to our beta!

how to evaluate a good startup to work for as a student/new grad: 1. Ask VCs (they want to funnel talent to their best portcos) 2. Find ones that align with your interests and passions 3. Sweet spot is Series A 4. Small team, in-person culture, extreme work ethic -> high slope
asked Naval what his thoughts were on focusing on product vs distribution
If you’re not building in SF, what are you doing?

Watching @ycombinator W24 batch mates present is a surreal feeling, can’t wait to present tomorrow morning! If you’re interested in AI x Ecommerce, look Kopia up!
there’s two kinds of company cultures that seem to work: 1) hyped company, tier 1 VC’s, primed to be a rocket ship = work hard to meet expectations 2) under hyped, not as well known, lean team, underdog mentality, chip on shoulder = work hard to prove everyone wrong

@CalvinnChenn i think my ambition is fleeting, what can i do ?
@CalvinnChenn I used to think ambition was innate, and maybe some part of it is, but it’s also so so contextual. Being around other ambitious people can unlock vision at least as much as opportunity
Great to see this kind of feedback on @redotvideo - I think we're doing something right this time
