HELLOOOO NYC!! We just hosted this dope founder wellness day in LA which made me realize how important self care is for founders. We had IV vitamin shots, product samples, talks with health founders and longevity experts, the whole shebang. Without making it too "LA", what if we hosted a founder/tech wellness day in NYC? Would you be down to join? Let me know by replying to this email.

With that said, hope you have another not-too-crazy week!

Yours truly,

David
