Dear Founders You Should Know friends,

It’s been a busy month for Founders You Should Know – we just returned from a trip to New York where, despite the excessive rainfall and flooding, we hosted an FYSK happy hour with our friends at Shine Capital. For those of you who have been asking us to host a showcase in NY, it’s happening! Stay tuned for an upcoming date, most likely in March.

For the September FYSK showcase, we took your feedback seriously and featured some non-AI first companies. We featured a mix of fintech, govtech, data infra, security, and a home chef operations startup. Technology accelerates growth in every sector and we’re excited to showcase companies that improve our lives in various ways. But of course, if you’re excited to join an AI startup, we’ve got those as well 🙂

Check out our recap of the last showcase below, and if you’d like to connect with any of these founders, send me a forwardable email blurb and I’m happy to suggest the connection.

If you’re looking for a new role, APPLY NOW for our next FYSK on October 25th in SF. 

Warmly,

Jen and the FYSK team
