Simon’s Corner
 saturday co-working :)  | I keep learning time and time again that building startups is hard — We’re navigating another change in focus, particularly in AI finance reporting. It’s tough, but it’s part of the job 🙃 That’s why community is so important: When all else fails, at least you know others are in the same boat. I recently fell more in touch with said community thanks to Aaron, who built a Discord Channel for us unruly tech & startup nerds. (get in contact with him to join!) <also you get occasional gems such as this |
Thank you for all your support!
Love,
Simon
