Here’s what we have planned for you

Hey, my gorgeous ladies 💫
I hope February is already treating you well — and that you’re feeling excited about what’s coming next for you.
(And no, I’m not talking about ski week this time 😉)
We have so much coming your way: inspiring events, a brand-new Talks With Dasha episode, and more.
Let’s lean in, show up for ourselves, and keep building — together.
I’m so excited to dive in with you!

San Francisco Is Back — But Only for AI Startups
Is San Francisco really back? In this interview, we break down how the SF office market has evolved post-pandemic and why AI startups are driving a powerful rebound in demand.
I sit down with Matt, Senior Vice President at CBRE, one of the largest commercial real estate companies in the world, born and raised in San Francisco, to discuss what’s actually happening on the ground—from vacancy rates and rising demand to why top-tier office space is hotter than ever.
We unpack how AI companies are reshaping the city, why founders are moving back to in-person work, and what startups should know before signing an office lease in 2026 (and check out the view from the top of the Salesforce Tower!)
Need an introduction? Let me know!

Who’s Taking Care of You?
You spend your days building companies, teams, products, communities, and families.
You are a founder, a leader, a mother, a high performer.
But when everything depends on you — who’s taking care of you?
We’re doing this for the first time.
We’re not talking about fundraising or building a company.
We’re talking about how to prioritize yourself, your health, and your well-being.

Any pasta lovers here? 🍝
We know building is hard. Long days, late nights, and more DoorDash or Uber Eats than anyone would like to admit. So let’s change that—at least for one evening.
Join us for Pasta Night for Builders at the brand-new Corgi (YC S24) office. They’ve just raised $108M and have a lot to share.
It’s a relaxed, casual gathering of builders who just want a good meal, good company, and a break from the grind.
Come as you are, grab a plate of pasta, and connect with people who get it.
Oh—and yes, there’s also an adorable Corgi in the office, ready to lift your mood 🐶

Every founder has a story.
But when it’s time to raise capital, investors don’t just want the vision — they want to see it reflected in the numbers.
Join our special guest Sasha Orloff, Founder & CEO of Puzzle, for a live session on how to translate your company’s narrative into clear, credible, and investor-ready financials — without overcomplicating things or losing the story that makes your business compelling.

This has never happened in San Francisco.
We’re bringing a completely new experience: a monthly dinner series — The Founders Table.
A white room — white table, white decor, intentional design — everything designed to strip away distractions and keep the focus on connection.
A private space, unlike a crowded restaurant.
A curated group of VC-backed founders for candid conversation over a shared meal.

These days, startups don’t just need speed — they need obsession.
Ten years ago, startup life meant foosball tables, beer on tap, and parties that blurred into Monday mornings.
Today’s founders don’t drink.
They don’t party.
Many don’t date.
They work. Relentlessly.
I’ve been spending time with YC founders, VCs, and first-time CEOs—and a pattern keeps coming up.
