Raising a round feels like winning, but it can become one of the most expensive decisions a founder will ever make.
@lanemerrifield cuts through the noise with an important reminder: capital should match immediate use, clear milestones, and real leverage. Otherwise you’re paying for money you didn’t need yet.
First day ✔️ I got lost ten times trying to find my way around the office, but otherwise it was a pretty magical day. So excited for this next chapter!
Self-awareness is an underrated founder skill. 💡
@lanemerrifield didn't build Club Penguin into one of the most iconic digital brands of its era by having all the answers. He built it by knowing which questions to ask (and who to ask them to).
For a kid whose first job was at Disneyland, meeting Bob in his office at 28yrs old was overwhelming to say the least. Yet he always had a way of disarming my nerves with a fun anecdote or story, which I so appreciated. I wince a little when I recall peppering him with my business questions - even though he always answered them with thoughtfulness and care - no matter now inexperienced or naive they were. Thank you @robertiger for your incredible legacy, for the wonderful way you served us cast members over the years and for making all of this Disney kids’ dreams come true.
Happy #internationalwomensday to the most incredible woman I’ve ever met. Your kindness, thoughtfulness, care, and compassion is unending. Your love and light is something I never thought possible. You are a force, and I’m so thankful to witness it everyday.
When we started this project with the talented team at @engineered_artworks , we had no idea how amazing it would turn out. This was the highlight of our burn and added so much joy and beauty to @lucid_dreams_camp and the rest of our burning man family 🙏 #dragonfly #burningman #artcar #creativity
