A Re-Introduction
I started this substack in 2021 as I was leaving Facebook, with the goal of jotting down some of my learnings from Big Tech and chronicling my new chapter at a startup.
Since then, Facebook the Company rebranded to Meta. The seed stage startup raised its Series A — then B — and grew from 10 people to 130. I moved from New York to Miami, and back to New York. I left the startup and joined a VC firm.
Over that time, I published 0 entries.
Why start now?
I’m changing roles again soon, so I want to take a moment to catch my breath and look back at the road that got me to where I am so far.
While the past 3 years have been particularly wild for my growth, I have always been surrounded by incredible people. Sometimes I pedaled, but a lot of times they pushed. I’ve still got so much more road to go!
Peaches is how I plan to leave myself reminders of the lesson and observations that spurred my growth and shaped how I’d like to “show up” everyday.
If you would like to read along, I would be grateful. If not, please feel free to unsubscribe. No hard feelings — this note is intended as both a renewed commitment to and a fresh warning for your inbox :)
All the best,
Sophie
