It's my first morning back in Boston after being at #HLTH. It's good to be back. Not only because of the long squeeze from my son or the big smile from my daughter, but also because this ecosystem is special.
Congrats, @406Ventures partners @payaldivakaran & @GrahamBrooks, included in @thisisinsider's list of the most important VCs in Boston from @meliarussell. Delighted for this entire group who contribute to #Boston's vibrant venture ecosystem. ⚾️bit.ly/48JpYPZ

Ceci died unexpectedly on Dec 5, 2022 at 14 months old. She was our daughter & we are devastated. She was so smart, smiley, stubborn & squishy. She adored the rabbits in our yard & playing with her nanny “Shang NaiNai” & sisters. She is loved & missed beyond comprehension (1/5).

At @406Ventures, Tuck grads outnumber HBS 4:2. I can’t say I disagree: “A final key ingredient to their success, Min and Donohue recognize the value in .406’s high concentration of Tuck graduates.” Go @Liam406 and So-June - great highlight of your journey! tuck.dartmouth.edu/mba/alumn…
