Excited to approve our 2021 budget for @sevensevensix! My 2021 salary will be $776.00 ~ I'm living a blessed life + want to put our management fees to work paying amazing people on this team, building software, supporting our founders. Thx @katelin_cruse @GarvinLissie 7️⃣7️⃣6️⃣
OH and of course, supporting our founders with things like our 2% Growth & Caregiving Pledge

We split that commitment with our LPs, because we both understand that the path to outsized returns starts and ends with FOUNDERS. One of the best investments we can make is in the emotion + physical development + well being of our founders in those early days.
22 yr old first-time-CEO Alexis had no idea what he was going to do when his college girlfriend fell in a coma and his mom was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer just months after founding Reddit -- I'd like to think he'd have really appreciated this. And hopefully used it...
Whether it would've been for therapy, to cover Airtran flights back to Baltimore for hospital visits, or an executive coach (or hopefully all of the above) it would've made all the difference. The cruel joke is that there is no blueprint to life. There are no plans. Just reaction
Just resilience. And everyone struggles. Some have just been exercising those muscles for longer (or didn't have them atrophy/injured in their formative years). But the reality, especially this time of year, THIS year, is that we all need to be better to one another and ourselves
We have too much work to do.
