Investing in Firstbase
Last year most of us experienced working from home full-time for the first time, and not by choice.

I’ve been an operator and/or investor in the A to Z of marketplace companies across time and place — from Airbnb, Belong, and Cadre to eBay, Incredible Health, Instacart, Neighbor, OpenTable, Rappi, Wonderschool, and others — so I have had a lot of time to think about what I love (and don’t!) about this category.
