@workweekinc was one of our first investments at @LightShedVC. It was clear that @AdamRy_n and @becsherm were building a new category of something extremely impactful in B2B. This launch is a recognition of a key milestone on that journey, but by no means is the endpoint. 🚀

I have an ultra cracked friend that just takes every newly funded consumer YC startup And recreates its in a week + geo targets non US audiences He has turned this into a big organization at this point, absolutely printing money. Geo arb is still not abused enough

I'd advise all companies against signing 3+ year technology contracts with vendors. The technology is just moving too fast and you're going to be burying your own grave.
