Hey Founders,

Happy May: the sun is shining, our LOI crew is soaking in a Bowen Island retreat. Sam Altman and Elon Musk are in court. The Devil Wears Prada 2 just dropped. We just locked in a private fireside chat with Vinod Khosla (personal networth of $13B btw) andddd we’re hosting a huge WebSummit Founder in Vancouver Run May 13th with Canadian Olympian Dayna Pidhoresky and the La Marzocco cafe brand (yeah, the fancy espresso brand with the $10,000 machines you’ve been targeted by on IG) in a few days.

It’s fair to say: May’s gonna be a heck of a month. Ya feel?
