👋 I’m seeking a part-time PM internship for the summer. The PM role has changed a lot since I led product teams at Slack and Twitter, and I learn best by doing. Who needs an intern?

@NateTepper LFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

We’ve raised $12M to hire the next generation of filmmakers at TrueShort! Led by Keith Rabois at Khosla Ventures and participation from Jeffrey Katzenberg (Dreamworks), Ravi Nandan (A24), Scott Belsky (Behance), General Catalyst, and more Here’s the story 👇

I lost a co-founder but found a wife. When I was starting Atrios with my fiance Daisy Dolan, everyone told me it was a bad idea. I listened, thought about it and understood the risks. But I also knew I needed her to get the company off the ground. She had A TON of experience in what we were building from her background leading $500M/year sales orgs. She had the emotional regulation and ability to see things I couldn't. She made work fun :) We decided to commit to working together for a year. In that year, Atrios raised $5M, scaled to over 30 enterprise accounts who will be spending over 6 figures/year with us and 10 full time employees. In that year we also got married :) A few months ago, she brought up that it has been a year and said "You and the company are good now, you got this". Words I didn't want to hear, but knew were true. She's going back to where she is best and most comfortable at a later stage company and has transitioned to an advisor role at Atrios. Working with your significant other is fun, rewarding and challenging. Im so grateful to have had this experience and closed this chapter in such a great way.

@YacineSibous Tons of love and respect for you and this journey

Well, that was a crazy turn of events. Three weeks ago, I thought Parker was going to be acquired in a deal worth nearly $90M. Yesterday, we filed for Chapter 7. I spent most of my twenties building Parker. We went from an idea in YC to processing over $1B in annualized volume, pioneered products that became standard across fintech, and built something I believed could last for decades. And now it’s over. I know there’s going to be speculation about why Parker failed, but a lot of what’s being said online is simply not accurate. Over the last few years, we faced leadership turnover, a much tougher market, slowing growth, and the realities of trying to scale a venture-backed business after momentum fades. Earlier this year, we decided the best path forward was to pursue a sale of the business. We ran a process and spent months working toward a potential acquisition that ultimately did not close. After that, things moved quickly. The hardest part is the impact on the people involved: •Customers dealing with disruption •Employees losing jobs they worked hard for •Investors who believed in us losing money What I am proud of is the team. Parker was built by incredibly talented people who deserved a better outcome than this. Helping them land somewhere great is my top priority right now. If you’re hiring operators, engineers, designers, finance, credit, or growth talent, please reach out. To everyone who believed in Parker over the years: thank you.

30 of the 70 companies in our last @speedrun batch had founders born outside the US and if we keep doing our job – and we will – that number is only going up: * founders building products + teams internationally * builders stuck in an H-1B job ready to accelerate their slope * students here on F-1 who are ready to take a shot at their startup idea Speedrun Global Founders is our answer >> our end-to-end approach to guiding founders through visas, customs, housing, banking, and building local SF community, while enabling founders from all over the globe to participate in Speedrun we also have the coolest hat in venture - maybe thats a lame flex, but i honestly challenge you to show me better vc drip you might catch a few of our founders wearing them today. come through Global Founders and I’ll bring you one 🫡 -apply below my friends-
