Mission 🔮

• Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. Our mission is to unlock the potential of human entrepreneurship and democratize access to the US financial ecosystem by empowering 1M founders globally to turn their dream idea into their dream US business.

@doolaHQ Lowlight 🫤

• Our free consultation calendly link was broken meaning for half of the week, inbound leads had no way to schedule a consultation with us.

@doolaHQ Highlight 😄

• In response the SVB situation, the team moved fast to fully "ungate" doola Banking so that anyone, even if you didn't form with doola, can open an FDIC insured business bank account with doola

Personal Lowlight and Highlight 😄

• Went to @PitchandrunNYC again and my new oka running shoes felt incredible (highlight) but my Achilles acted up again (lowlight) and had to bike home after the first half of run. Rule #1 of fitness: don't get injured -> going to take it slow until *fully healed.*

Thanks & Kudos 🎉

• @chriszeoli for the influencer intro's

• @SahilBloom for the guidance on social

• all doola investors for checking in on if we were impacted/had exposure to Silicon Valley Bank
