Just completed my final session of chemo! There’s still a fair journey ahead, but it’s nice to check this box and celebrate the little victories along the way to the finish line. 🎉
Part of this optimism comes from knowing how much people can grow when surrounded by others who take their ambitions seriously.
And in SF, people take your ambition seriously enough to expect you to act on it. I’ve found a wonderful home in Europe & through The Bridge, I want more people here to experience what being in SF does to their own ambitions.

Very excited to be working with @_mikepphillips, @juliadenoly, @Anastasia_ELW, @MaximMatias1 , and the wider Bridge team to find the next generation of exceptional founders and support them relentlessly in achieving outlier outcomes, without the constraints of their local context

e.g. always been struck how I've everyone I've met from @joinef always encourages way more ambition from those around them -- it's a pattern i haven't seen much elsewhere
The @joinef Demo Day has arrived.
Introducing our S24 cohort! 🎉
I've been fortunate to spend the last 6+ months working with these extraordinary founders – a remarkable group, tackling some of the world’s most complex problems.

Crazy to think that ≈4 years have passed since my cancer diagnosis
Life is just 10000x better now!
I'm far stronger and more resilient than I ever was. And while I'm much more intense in many ways, the experience made me a kinder, gentler, more empathetic human.

my annual shoutout to Dr. Sarah Rudman and @GSTTnhs continues – I, quite literally, would not be here today without you.
Thank you for keeping this Canadian alive ❤️

The #1 issue that just keeps coming up for the founders I coach:
*fear-driven avoidance of holding people to high standards*
It comes up most in hiring & performance management, but it also permeates cofounder relations, networking convos, fundraising, even customer development
Lu & Dilip (@neuro_quanta) are rockstars, building truly novel, deep tech changing the way we identify heart conditions
32% of all global deaths stem from cardiovascular disease (WHO, 2019) – what they've created in Lighthearted will save millions of lives from heart-related deaths over the coming years.
Replying to @joinef
Lucrezia and Dilip are improving the detection of heart conditions with their AI diagnostics tool. Dilip (@neuro_quanta) holds 5 patents and published research in over 4 conference publications, including @BernsteinNeuro. Lucrezia has worked for the UK National Health Service, and won a grant to develop a novel medical device that captures heart sounds, ECG and blood pressure.

People are a power law and the best ones can change everything.
Great to have spent the weekend with a massively talented, high-potential group of incoming @joinef founders!

Feeling real excitement rn – it's the eve of the S24 @joinef cohort Kick-Off Weekend!
Absolutely hyped to spend the next 2 days (and 6 months!) with these ≈50 gifted individuals, ready to BUILD
Amazing to see @Vinehealth_ scale their mission to tackle cancer & join @Sciensus, serving >240k patients every year
in 2020 (pre-@joinef !), I was one of these patients during my chemo – excited to see them support many more survivors moving forward ❤️

Over the next 6 months, @jamesrichards2 , @JozefTuszynski, & I will be seeking to invest in gifted individuals, with the capacity to achieve something extraordinary
We're searching for the pioneers of tomorrow's world-changing companies
outliers with the audacity to envision the future, the courage to disrupt the status quo, and the drive to transform their dreams into reality
