We announced our A round last week. Expected the recruiters, 409A firms, etc, but not the following.

Seems like a good idea, I guess, but we don't want to go too wild. You know, at least comparison shop :)

I couldn't find any private aviation vendor recommendations on the First Round network, so I asked Vivek from August if they have any deals for private jet use for their portfolio companies. He said nope but we can just borrow his G5 when he's not using it. What an awesome firm! (seriously, they are.) Can't believe the Fastly folks are still flying commercial...
