Saturday morning. Twenty founders, funders, and students...and a few dogs. Blustering wind, speeding fog, and we set off to hike around Pacifica. We walked, we talked, and we hoped to not catch a cold (I failed). It was all well worth it for the conversations with the crew that @12scrappyfounders put together.
In and amongst it all was @kevjinnn , taking pictures, then sprinting ahead of everyone to set up the next photo spot. The last pic is his selfie. Oh, and he's singlehandedly trying to revive MySpace! I didn't bite 😆
Just did my first product pitch at the @getsentry Lightning Hackathon. 🔥🔥🔥
Didn’t know anyone, met @plopix and @mistobaan , and in 2 hours we made LegitPic to streamline how developers implement image uploads and moderation. Then I pitched it in 2 minutes. See the full writeup of my experience, and the pitch video at:

Met with Anjan and Sai to workshop ideas for the RoadRatings app MVP. 🔥🔥🔥

Anjan picked Caffe Trieste in San Francisco's North Beach, since that's where much of The Godfather's script was written 😮

Only in SF: Tuesday @offscript.cc threw Playback — a full-on film festival for startup launch videos.
Yes, startup launch videos! The genre has quietly leveled up: part viral meme, part cinematic flex, part demo reel. Super Bowl ad energy… but for fundraising decks.
So offscript said screw it, let’s make it official: the Oscars of startup launch videos.
Huge thanks to @alligooch for responding to my last minute request to join 🥰
