Twitter spaces is just like a @RenCo_Community group call but without the hyperactive chat box on the side.
. @TheOhHenry said the schedule was too ambitious…” - @nifferkin, on the RenCo retreat. But we got in miles of running, hiking, boating, yoga, hot springs, meals, laughs, late night dance parties, cocktail making, and mahjong with fresh fruit pies. instagram.com/p/CTxKcCmJyd_/…
We love it when our members amplify each other's successes! Melda interviews Omar on founding legalOps @stripe: "Who do we want to be as a company? What values around content reflect that? “we view freedom of speech as X...”

* Slack limitations for communities.
* Collaborative conversational wikis.
@RenCo_Community's newsletter touching on some interesting community themes we've been talking about with @jjacobs22 @cpaik and others recently.
Thanks @helen_min! We’re grateful for your wisdom on how impactful smart generalists can be, especially for teams that need driven self-starters, and curious, agile problem solvers. Thanks for sharing the story of our members @nseldeib, @calanthiaaa. and @johnnybyonny 🤗
A "smart generalist" should be every startup's first marketing hire, but so many start with specialists instead 😩
You need someone who will write the growth playbook, not blindly run it. Rigorous experimentation without bias is key at the start.

We all know feedback is critical to improving. But asking folks to take time out of their days to give you feedback feels awkward. Our advice? Borrow a line from our new member onboarding team! Make your ask funny, delightful, and irreverent. Thx @Leonlinsx and @vhernandez992! 🤣
Highlights from our conversation w/ @reedmcbride, head of biz dev at @cartainc, hosted by @aashaymody and @vhernandez992 on @highlightideas!
1- Reed's path from big law to biz dev, at the time when Carta had amazing product market fit, "but wanted a real second and third act":
6- Changing mindsets on pre-IPO liquidity (question from @Crubenfeld): "I think we're a good model for it. 5 yrs ago, there was not a strong sense that liquidity was necessary in late-stage companies before, before IPO's; that has changed."
7- @cartainc's leadership on ensuring employees know and understand equity comp: "We've put out a shareholders' bill of rights & are trying to build a culture of transparency. I think co's should tell you what you're getting, fully diluted. We can actually post policy changes."
