Big things happening 🏡

@jdsimcoe One day, I imagine Immad is going to be using Demo to show investors at the IPO what Mercury is all about. Just like what they did for Figma's IPO.

@mercury Having spent a couple of weeks in Melbourne just now, agreed – what a fun place to be. As someone described it to me, "Melbourne doesn't have the weather the rest of Australia can rely on, so Melbourne had to work really hard on its culture."

We’re asking founders, creatives, and builders about the places that inspire them. Next up: gentle—noise founder and meditation teacher Manoj Dias on some of the coolest spots in Melbourne. Get the latest Meridian Atlas guide ↓ mercury.com/blog/meridian-…

The Ion (where we’re hosting Off the Grid Houston) opened in 1939 as a Sears. The first department store with a windowless architecture + centralized AC. The first escalator in Texas. It was a clear shift – buildings became engineered systems. We’re at that moment again. Builders today face tighter margins, faster timelines, and more complexity (HVAC, hot water, battery storage, EV charging). We’ve added more systems – but how we build hasn’t fundamentally changed in decades. Join us for Off the Grid Houston on Apr 8. Just food, drinks, and real conversations. Builders, developers, architects, engineers, energy leaders – tag a friend who should be in the room. RSVP ↓

@carolleii @andyhsuco Sounds fun ☺️

Hosted a design reading session with @andyhsuco, where we read and discussed a range of topics from how Reddit influences LLMs to how Brian Eno applies Axis Thinking in his work Hmu if you want to attend the next 🙇🏻‍♀️

<3 books <3 @stripepress

Happy Easter to all who celebrate 🐰🐣🥚 Hope you enjoy a fresh start with family – and of course – an Easter egg hunt! With love, Kunal Naresh Bhatia

@trv_mcl @stripepress Dang those are Dunkin' cool. Missed those stickers ☕😎 Great seeing you!

Hi Boston!! @stripepress

@stripepress My favorite two things. Stripe Press and Boston 🥰

Boston, we’ll see you soon! Stop by our pop-up coffee shop at Vester Cambridge this Saturday from 11AM-3PM: luma.com/8qukz62d?tk=td… ☕️📚

@danwolch For sure! ⚡🔋😊

@KunalsLab Thank you Kunal! Can't wait to see the insights it helps as you build out your power grid.

Today's meeting tools give you a transcript, but nobody tells you how you did. I'm so excited to announce Work Coach (a new mac meetings app). Work Coach helps you by: - Observing you in meetings (interviews, 1:1s, sales calls, team meetings) - Analyzing how you show up to those meetings - Identifying opportunities to improve - Replaying the exact moments from your meetings where it happened - Role play conversations (intros in an interview, asking for a raise, etc) - Interviewing your coworkers to get feedback that you're not getting I'll put the download link below.

If you've ever been curious about work with a career coach, check out Work Coach. Dan has been working hard on building a tool valuable for anyone interviewing, struggling to get feedback, and feeling limited growth. Curious to see what blind spots you uncover!

@willahmed @WHOOP As always, it's so nice to see you and the team hit milestone after milestone. Congrats Will!

BREAKING: WHOOP RAISES $575M AT $10.1B VALUATION  I am pleased to announce that we’ve raised $575M at a $10.1B valuation to accelerate our mission of unlocking human performance and healthspan globally. This round was led by Collaborative Fund with participation from 2PointZero Group, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Mubadala Investment Company, Abbott, Mayo Clinic, Macquarie Capital, Glade Brook, B-Flexion, IVP, Foundry, Accomplice, Affinity Partners, Promus Ventures, and Bullhound Capital alongside a group of individual investors including Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Rory McIlroy, Virgil van Dijk, and Mathieu van der Poel. This investor group and this moment reflect a powerful evolution underway for Whoop and the broader healthcare market. Whoop was born in performance - trusted by the best athletes in the world to train, recover, and compete at the highest level. That foundation remains core to who we are. You see that in the iconic athlete investors joining this round.  But it also represents our push into broader health.  In the past 12 months, WHOOP has received medical clearances, launched blood testing, and created a platform that has saved lives. Abbott and Mayo Clinic - two of the most respected and influential institutions in global healthcare - are now investors in Whoop. These are organizations that have shaped modern medicine. Their decision to partner with us is a clear validation of where our technology is headed. Healthcare systems around the world are reactive. For too long, they have waited for people to get sick, then intervene. Chronic disease is rising and costs continue to climb. At Whoop, we believe the future looks fundamentally different. We are building the most powerful, personal, preventive health platform in the world - powered by continuous biometric data, advanced analytics, and AI to help people understand their bodies and improve their health in real time. I am grateful to our team, our members, and our partners for believing in this vision. I’ve been building this company for 14 years and I’ve never been more excited for the future.

@drewvolpe @KunalsGrid Thanks Drew! Good to be back.

@KunalsLab @KunalsGrid Welcome back!

After nearly 4 months abroad, I’m heading back home to Boston. This trip brought new learnings, new beginnings, and a refreshed sense of purpose. First – tomorrow, Mar 30. Keep your eyes open for an announcement from @KunalsGrid. You won’t want to miss this. Second, to everyone I met in Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Bahrain, and Melbourne – thank you for showing me what it means to live and breathe builder culture. Third, to the people in Tokyo, Sydney, and Christchurch – thank you for the perspective, the pace, and the reminder that there are many ways to build a life. Back to Boston. Time to build.

@theo How the tables have turned @garrytan.

Thankful that Garry Tan named his project gstack and not tanstack
