Pre 2020 cofounders living through Covid, SVB shutdown, a couple wars and now the AI wave
Here’s the thing about “student-led learning” in K-12; students are children & they don’t know what they don’t know. If students only learn about things that interest them, they’re deprived of opportunities to learn about things that might interest them but don’t know about yet.
A couple years ago, when I stepped out of a founder role, it was pretty interesting to see how differently companies treated me. Some teams at places like Ramp, Rippling, ClickUp, Nvidia, and a couple hot Utah startups responded to cold DMs with zero hesitation about my non-specialized “founder background.” If anything, that experience was the reason they took the call. Meanwhile, more traditional companies (Fortune 500s, bigger/older tech companies, etc.) had the hardest time putting me in a box. They couldn’t see past the “5–7 years of directly qualified experience” requirement. Notably… none of those companies were growing anywhere close to the pace of the first group. And thankfully, I ended up at one of the high-growth ones. Idk who needs to hear this, but, hire former founders. Failed founders, young founders, successfully exited founders, founders who’ll definitely be founders again but want to learn from other high-agency people inside strong PMF businesses… hire founders. They’ll operate like business owners inside your org and find meaningful ways to drive value way beyond their job description.
Go Blue!!〽️
At Reach, we back brilliant founders building across learning, health, and work. Now we’re extending that support beyond our portfolio with Cobalt Collective, a new nonprofit built to bridge high-growth tech and evidence-based impact.

@aboodman Internet2 conference WiFi is mind bendingly good. I was there in 2012 when they had a musical performance over Internet2 with one performer 100 miles away. They brought their own equipment, tapped into a fiber access outside the venue. It was showing off to make a point.
@willmcgugan Put it behind a Caddy web server so that it will automatically take care of certificates and their renewal?

Remembering the time @Canvas_by_Inst where we crashed @Blackboard #bbworld11 conference in Vegas at the Venetian. Booked the bar right in the same hallway as their event and held a party for their customers. One of my favorite t-shirts we gave out to their customers.
