Shoutout to Dwight Howard for playing 3s for ~1 hour—had to hit a little MJ shrug after dropping a 3 👀 (Note: I know he could end me with a single jump - he was beyond nice and could score at will obviously)

Today Amarildo Gjondrekaj invited Kieran O'Reilly and I to Nasdaq this morning for the Opening Bell Ceremony. One of the best parts of building in B2B enterprise SaaS: work and friendship blur constantly. Grateful to be here with our friends and work colleagues!

There’s one stat about Knot - The Merchant Connectivity Platform that no one ever guesses: 40% of us are dropouts. At least 16 people here never finished college, and some never started. That includes me. I left Harvard after sophomore year and my brother Kieran, our CTO, dropped out after his freshman year

I met Dylan Field through the Thiel Fellowship - he's brilliant, and more importantly, kind. But most people forget: Figma launched over 3 years after their seed round! When we first met, I was surprised they were still pre-launch. But once I got my hands on it, it was undeniable:

I may be the luckiest person in the world. When Kieran O'Reilly and I we were in elementary school, we set up lemonade stands and handed out flyers for our parents’ business during summers. In high school, it was FBLA and Model UN. Early mornings competing, always side by side.
