Hi all! I'm incredibly excited to share what I've been working on for the last year: building a platform that solves employee leave.

When we started Cocoon, we knew we wanted to create a place where personal priorities come first. Really proud to start offering compassionate leave and hope other companies start doing so too!
19 May 2022
This week at @meet_cocoon we announced 4 weeks of leave for all employees to take paid, protected time away for pivotal life events that fall outside of traditional types of leave. Now we're open sourcing our Compassionate Leave Policy. Here's why: 1/ meetcocoon.com/blog/introduc…

Really enjoyed chatting with @brettberson about engineering careers & teams last week. Thanks for having me, @firstround!

As she builds out the engineering team for @meet_cocoon, CTO @amfeng isn't just looking for folks who can ship great code. She looks for engineers who are "entrepreneurial generalists."

Being at Stripe for 8 years taught me a love of diving into messy, regulatory areas and simplifying them into magical experiences — and that's exactly what we've done with employee leave.

This is exactly what I wanted to see a data view of: a scraped changelog of vote counts every time results are released.

It's crucial that not only do Dems take back the presidency and Senate in November, but that we're also investing in democracy itself and long-term progressive leadership. @reinpk and I are matching $20k in donations made to these orgs to @MovementVote: secure.actblue.com/donate/wi…

Miss these days ❤️. (It's funny seeing people analyze objects in the photo. I'm trying to figure out what that red capped bottle in front of my monitor is — soy sauce?! If so, that's pretty on brand for me...)

An early photograph of Stripe. They had a wonderful office next to Coupa Cafe in downtown Palo Alto, but they were about to move out because they'd gotten too big. It felt like the end of an era, so I took a picture of them.

Is sending emails in plain text no longer a thing? I’m annoyed they truncate so badly in Gmail mobile. 😩

If you’re concerned about climate change but not sure how to contribute, consider a few of these non-profits (and get your donation matched!). Thank you @embrein and @reinpk for the thoughtful research and generosity here!

Climate change is, and needs to be, the fight of our time. This #GivingTuesday, @reinpk and I are matching up to $25,000 to non-profits that are on the frontlines, already making an impact, and need our support. Please join us in supporting these orgs, and spreading the word! 1/n
