Mandatory Fun - Requiring Contribution
Despite popular belief you can't buy friends.
Before we dive in, quick reminder that membership is OPEN, would love to get to know you!
When the October 7th tragedy hit Israel we offered to donate the Maxwell space for fundraisers. Several friends hit us up and within a few days a 300 person shabbat dinner, complete with singing, speakers, and a cameo from Mayor Adams was thrown together.
But the most inspiring thing was how it all came about — I walked in the afternoon of the event and there were 20 or so volunteers setting up, cutting Challah, planning the run of show, facilitating the delivery of donated food. And these weren’t people with time to spare — most of them had their own VC funds or startups or were otherwise busy people.
By the end of it I walked away with 5-6 new friends. And none of them were the people who just attended the event, every one of them was someone who showed up early to contribute…
But if any of this speaks to you, we’d love to hear from you.
