Thrilled to share that I’ve joined @Accel! Through advising early stage companies via Stripe @Atlas and angel investing over the past year, I’ve come to realize that I love partnering with founders at their earliest stages.

I hate that this is considered a "contrarian take". So proud and grateful to call this beautiful city home ♥️🌁

2022 contrarian take: San Francisco is still amazing. We take for granted how beautiful it is as a city. It’s worth fighting for.

I love San Francisco and intend to stay and raise a family here. That being said, we clearly have many problems to solve, and @GrowSF has the clearest plan to address them ⤵️ If you feel similarly, consider joining me as a monthly GrowSF donor 🙋🏻‍♀️

Our city has major problems, but we can fix them. I’m not leaving and neither is @sbuss. We ❤️ SF. We’re working every day to build a city where new residents are welcomed, new businesses are encouraged, and families can put down their roots. We’re making progress. 👉 @GrowSF.

Who else misses Touch ID on a daily basis? 🙋🏻‍♀️😷 Bet Apple didn’t consider a global, seemingly endless, mask-requiring, pandemic when they rolled out Face ID...

Excited to share that @GammaApp has raised a $68M Series B at a $2.1B valuation, led by @sarahdingwang @a16z with participation from @uncorkcap! It’s been a privilege to have been part of the Gamma story since leading their seed round with $0 in revenue and a handful of users in

It still blows my mind that in the time it takes to get from Mountain View to San Francisco on a Friday afternoon, you can get from London to Paris. The European train system is incredible, and we Americans don’t take it for granted! (and of course there’s free wifi 🤯)🚆🇬🇧➡️🇫🇷
