To close out the conversation, @tdklein asked a few of our most pressing questions. Fun fact: @cava’s ingredients can be combined into more than 17.8 *billion* combinations 🤯 and CEO, Brett Schulman, thinks you shouldn’t sleep on pita crisps. ✔️

A 🧵from CAVA’s co-founders: Today CAVA became a publicly traded company. We want to take a moment to acknowledge our roots.

@lolitataub Some of the best intros I’ve received, have come from venture lawyers that we do business with. If the founder you are speaking with has a good relationship with an established venture law firm, they will often make the intro and it will get responded to.

🤔 Asking for a founder: I've been told, "never outreach to a VC cold" and yet many of my mutual connections on LinkedIn say they don't know the person well enough to give an intro. What's the best way to get introduced to VCs?

This is big. @PlayVALORANT has been the top new #esports title for two years running with audience growth that shows no sign of stopping. Congratulations to @Revolution Growth-backed @TeamLiquid & @aXiomaticGaming and good luck to @LiquidValorant! #LETSGOLIQUID

@ballmatthew This just shows once again regulators can’t distinguish between a metaverse and a soloverse
