Simon’s Corner

Allie🐐 from @Shopify

The amount of serendipity I experienced these last 2 weeks has been amazing. From all the amazing folks I met, to randomly getting free pizza for 100 people at BagelHacks.

On my side — Fulfillment in relationships is at an all time high, I’m working on some fun side-projects, and things are looking well for the startup.

People make the world turn round, that’s what community is all about. I love my friends, and I ❤️ Montreal. Super excited about what’s to come, happy month of April guys :).

Love,
Simon
