Just spoke at the Seattle Startup Summit! 🚀
900 people packed the venue today – the energy was electric from start to finish!
My friend Yujian Tang has created something truly remarkable here. What began as a vision has instantly become the West Coast’s most compelling startup gathering. First of many, and I’m grateful to be part of its foundation.
Loved every minute moderating and speaking alongside Jon Turow, your insights made our session!
The Seattle tech community showed up in force – catching up with Christopher Kennamer Rolanda Fu Jen Haller and Melissa Hutchins made today even more special.
Highlight: crossing paths with Ben Gilbert of Acquired podcast. Watching his podcast journey from humble beginnings 10 years ago to becoming tech’s definitive voice while we’re just 4+ years into Smart Venture Podcast was both humbling and inspiring.
There’s something powerful about bookending the conference – Ben opening with his panel, us closing with ours. A reminder that every creator’s journey has its chapters.
Seattle has been growing on me.
