8 months agoExciting moments at Harvard Business School as our founder and managing partner, @DannyCortenraede, engaged in a thoughtful dialogue with Toto Wolff, esteemed entrepreneur, investor, and Team Principal & CEO of @mercedesamgf1. Their discussion spanned the future of sports, the role of AI in strategic development, and the essence of effective communication. Such interactions at the intersection of sports and innovation are vital as we continue to foster leadership and transformative strategies within our organization. #SportsInnovation #AI #LeadershipInsights #HarvardBusinessSchool #TotoWolff #F1 #MercedesAMG

3 years ago💥 We got featured @foundr 🦄 For three months we mentored a startup called 1C productions through the process of moving from bootstrapped startup to VC-back venture. Of the roughly 8,000 startups that got VC funding in 2019, @crunchbase reported that only about 2,000 got the next series of funding needed to get to profitability. 💰 On average founders waste 60% of their time fundraising. 💥 We are changing this with our venture building model.

3 months agoVision is finally complete!

4 months agoHard to believe that a few conversations we had almost 3 years ago turned into one of the most significant collections of my life. Through an 18 month process, our team had the honor of working with Giorgio Armani to create some of my all-time favorite products. To see these pieces bear the Kith and Giorgio Armani names together means so much to me. I am humbled and grateful to Mr. Armani, whom I have the utmost respect for, as well as the entire Giorgio Armani team for bringing these dreams to fruition. We had the chance to go through Giorgio Armani’s archive and get a deep dive on their design ethos, their influence on silhouettes, and unparalleled attention to detail in the manufacturing process. Every product is created in Giorgio Armani’s factories in Italy with their fabrics, which have set the standard for suiting around the world. Blending these qualities with silhouettes from the Kith catalog and creating a singular cohesive language was as challenging as it has been rewarding. These are some of my favorite pieces from the collection. For a full breakdown, check out the link in my bio. Kith & Giorgio Armani will be available tomorrow. Can’t believe we’ve finally arrived.

4 months ago#SundayFunday This has to be one of the weirdest-looking insects I’ve ever encountered. Here’s a side view of it, which looks really interesting, but the straight-on profile shots are even better. Handheld focus-stacked picture.

4 months agoVacation Struggle 🙈 This is the only macro image I took on my vacation. If it hadn’t been a jumping spider, I probably wouldn’t have taken my camera out of my bag. But this little guy was definitely worthy of my attention! 😁 My wife found him in our hotel room, and we took him out for a little photo session (it was a bit of a struggle) before releasing him to jump around. 😁 Have a lovely Sunday! <3 Handheld focus-stacked picture.
