A job ad: if you're looking for work, maybe consider Freshpaint: freshpaint.io/about?ashby_ji…. I'm an investor, so I'm definitely not unbiased, but they're growing (75% revenue growth in the last 45 days) and starting to hire now that they think they've found product-market fit.

Fuck me this is wild

Imagine SF has the greatest startup factory in the history of capitalism (read: creates oodles and oodles of high-paying jobs) telling founders to build their companies in SF…and half the city hates these people’s guts. Any city would be lucky to have this

This isn’t truck stuff. This is Prius stuff
