Some personal news! Recently, I stepped back from the day-to-day at @Instacart to focus on investing full-time. I sat down with my friend @jaltma on Uncapped to talk about building Instacart and my philosophy on early-stage investing — check it out here!
For this episode of Uncapped I got to sit down with my close friend @Max, cofounder of Instacart 🥕
We talked about the key moments of Instacart...how it got started, critical wins, tough losses, competitive dynamics, earned insights, going public, and Instacart's future.
Max is also an awesome startup investor, and we talked about what he looks for in founders, consumer investing, and what he's building with Workshop.
He's one of the best people I know, hope you enjoy.

Today is #DayoftheDeployed, where we recognize and honor those #Marines serving overseas.
The Marine Corps is our nation’s expeditionary force-in-readiness and forward positioned Marines are critical to the defense of our nation.

#Marines run through the city during San Francisco Fleet Week 2022, Oct. 10.
During #FleetWeekSF, service members participate in various community service events, showcase capabilities and equipment to the community, and enjoy the hospitality of the city and surrounding areas.
