I was visiting the Strive startup crawl this week and tbh my mind was quite blown. Super nice atmosphere as well as cool startups everywhere. I ended up staying and helping in the deconstruction until 1 am!

This is a good example of invested people doing their all to make an experience as great as possible.

To end my shameless plug for Strive, if you are a driven student, looking for work in a startup, leave your details on the Strive platform!

Cheers!

Your weekly read

Had an idea to switch things up this week. Instead of something to read, I’ll give you something to look at and study. A couple weeks back I stumbled across a Figma file with the top converting landing pages of YC alumni companies. Save this for yourself or implement it straight away!
