Co-Founder & CEO at Cinder

Last week at Cinder we held our second annual company onsite on Nantucket, and each year I come ever closer to moving myself and the entire company “on island”. Ok maybe not but it was truly amazing to be able to get together as a team and spend an entire week working together in such an incredible environment. We stayed in 3 quaint houses a short walk from town and the beach and had some really great conversations and got a lot done. Some highlights include: • Regular ole in-person work. Just getting together and white boarding, collaborating, and building in person was highly engaging and difficult to simulate remotely. • Early morning ocean swims. • Sharing the Y Combinator office hours experience with the whole company via a Q&A with Michael Seibel. • Very serious ghost tour where I think my favorite "haunting" was when supposedly a bunch of people befriended an alleged ghost who was dressed up as an old 17th century whaler and would kind of just hang out at the restaurant together. • Lobster rolls. Want to join us next year? We’re hiring across product roles! DM for more info if you or a loved one is a talented engineer or product designer looking for a new opportunity. https://lnkd.in/gjYvz67h [Not shown: Tons of shipped product, the sheer amount of Monster Rehabs® consumed, my 1990s gym teacher aesthetic (and accompanying megaphone), the ghosts, team-made dinners, Sara Ittelson's heroic travel effort]

You forgot to talk about how many of us beat Sam Freeman in Ping Pong and how I was the first to beat Declan Cummings in Ping Pong.
