We successfully held our first meetup of my newsletter subscribers, with over 40 attendees. Thank you for coming and spending time together.
The picture above doesn't include everyone as we forgot to take a proper group picture. My absolute gratitude for our collective meditation and the debate about the difficulties of being a person of virtue in today's world. It takes true effort to be a modern stoic and I salute all of you. Let's improve together.
Only one woman showed up, which was disappointing (thank you, Isa!). I hope we have more diversity in future gatherings.
As agreed, all the proceeds were donated to Mansão do Caminho, a Spiritist center located in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
In the business of rapid scale, it seems like every startup must go through a few tests. I have seen it happen with every company I worked for and with.
Once a week, right after a formal turndown, I get a founder asking me if I can introduce them to other investors. This is a weak and stupid ask.
Fortunately, institutional investors in Brazil now understand that they must have a better, diversified portfolio across all asset classes.
