I was looking at OpenTable data and Hotel Data this week. As I am back in SF, I have been looking to catch up with friends over dinner.
I can’t imagine how painful it must be to own a boutique hotel or a restaurant. Aside from the many that have gone bankrupt, the ones that survived are still operating under capacity.
The same goes for hotels. I flew 20+ times since October, both in Brazil and in the US. This past weekend my MIA-SFO was completely full. Good.
It’s coming back. Slowly, but coming back. Let’s go America. Let’s come back.

We successfully held our first meetup of my newsletter subscribers, with over 40 attendees. Thank you for coming and spending time together.
I had a surprise visit to the ER on Christmas. I thought I was having a heart attack and rushed to the hospital with considerable chest pain. I was scared.
I must have seen >2500 pitch decks, in the past four years. Most founders over-complicate pitch decks. 10 slides are everything you need.
