@ashleymayer Same!!!

Glossier's new flagship in Soho opened last week, its Sephora launch is scheduled for this week. I'm pretty biased, but I'm here for Glossier's BIG 2023 🙌nytimes.com/2023/02/15/sty…

@thesamparr Instagram was sold for $1b. It had ~13 employees. Also, sold for a combo of cash & FB stock.

Recently read a story about a company that sold for $100m. The founder was the only employee (used some contractors). what are some other amazing examples?

@ashleymayer You held out longer than me. Couldn’t do it years ago. Took me at least 3 days to recover.

Some personal news: I’m too old to redeye.

@jimbabb Congrats!!!

Meet Brazzie. He’s 7 pounds 8 oz, lifting his head already, and I love him. @julie_babiglio is the other strongest person I know. 🥰 @ Brooklyn NY, Bay Ridge instagram.com/p/Cb-DY0Mua3U/…

@Kevin_Indig @nathangotch I agree with Kevin. Depends on the company and also, the opportunity to move beyond just SEO.

@nathangotch I wouldn’t be so sure about that… inhouse has tons of benefits like 401k? Medical, fixed salary, sometimes equity, etc…

Knowing SEO and working in-house is not the best path to building wealth. Using your SEO skills to build businesses (and learning business skills along the way) is.

@daveminchala Yes, I felt like a turkey was too much food for 3 people. Though, I ended up making two roasted chickens. Ha!

@daveminchala Last servings of roasted chicken and cranberry sauce

@JHTScherck @JackTreseler It may get you the comp that you desire faster, but hurts reputation in the long-term. What I’ve learned over the years is this is a very small ecosystem.

@JHTScherck @JackTreseler I agree with your take @JHTScherck having seen/been on both sides. This is a short-term approach that has significant downstream implications.

PRO TIP for employees: average salary increase is 14.8% when changing jobs, but getting a raise is only 5.8%. Go interview this quarter, come back to your employer with an offer, and negotiate a higher wage. You deserve it.

In 2020 you helped me raise $41,904.90 to support homeless kids by supporting my sleepout (This was me sleeping outside in november). I was floored by your generocity. This year will be tougher b/c I'm not on FB, if you can share there I'd appreciate it. sleepout.org/participant/Wil

@daveminchala We should chat! I can definitely relate.

@byronling1 @jjeremycai @italic Congrats, Byron!

1/ We are excited to announce our partnership with @italic and @jjeremycai in leading the company's $37M Series B. @italic is leading a new model of U.S. internet commerce that empowers global manufacturers to sell directly to consumers ("C2M"). byronling.substack.com/p/italic-leadi…

@jjeremycai @byronling1 Huge congrats to @italic on raising a series B and opening up your marketplace. As a beta tester, it’s been incredible to watch this journey.

5/ We raised $37M led by Canaan & >100 top angels. @byronling1 is joining our board as we accelerate our product expansion & infrastructure. This brings our total financing to $50M and will establish Italic as the predominant direct-from-manufacturer marketplace in the West.

1/ Today, I'm humbled to share: @italic is now open for everyone — no membership required ❤️‍🔥 We raised $37M from Canaan & an all-star consortium of 100+ founders 💰 Having grown up in a manufacturing family, I'm proud to follow in my parents' footsteps to serve manufacturers.

@tomcritchlow Haha not much has changed! Ditto Dave, very integrated design team

I can't decide what I love more. The fact that Etsy produces fully designed beautiful presentations for their quarterly earnings reports.... or the file names they use...

@ashleymayer Yes!!!

I loved NY while living here, but it took leaving (and perhaps the social isolation of the pandemic) to appreciate just how magical it is. ✨

@daveminchala Huge congrats!!! 🤛

@iPullRank Officially a New Yorker and Brooklynite!!

I'm finding it difficult to wrap my head around the fact that I have lived in Brooklyn for 10 years as of today.
