Still stuck on gift ideas? Don’t worry, we’ve been asking the ADIN scouts for recommendations for a while now with our Warm Intro series. These are people with great taste in startups, as well as things. Here are some of the highlights:
“Obsessed with these. I’m in Tokyo right now and stocked up. They’re the perfect ‘you didn’t have to do that’ gift. Incredible quality, weird/beautiful designs, and they works as a scarf, bag accessory, wall art, whatever. The brand has this cult Japanese-Americana thing that feels special without being precious.” —Maritza Lerman Yoes, ADIN scout

“The one AI companion I can fully get on board with, an emotional support robot guinea pig.” — Charlie Cohen, ADIN Scout

“[I collect] clothes, people, and occasionally art.” — Dani Loftus, ADIN Scout

“Music without lyrics, Mount Kimbie, Aphex Twin, Roy Orbison, Early James Blake / JamieXX, and Panda Bear.” — Sayeed Mehrjerdian, ADIN Scout

“[My] morning routine [consists] of 4 fish oil pills, 50 pushups, ice cold shower, couple eggs + spinach. Plop a raw garlic clove in my mouth.” — Kazi Hossain, ADIN Scout

“My wife optimized our coffee setup not long ago to Instant Pot Brands milk frother + Bialetti stovetop and I love it so much, especially the frother.” — Zack Seward, ADIN Scout

LaCroix mixed with Stur. know, decadent.” — Ryan Hoover, ADIN Scout

“Every winter I buy myself a pair of Miista shoes and wear them into the ground. They’re a Spanish company started by a few girls who lived in Barcelona, so almost all their shoes are actually wearable and designed for city girls running around town who need something fashionable that can handle 10k steps a day. I usually go for a boot, but I’m eyeing these loafers that feel like a high-end twist on the classic Row loafer. Time will tell!" — Natasha Hoskins, ADIN Scout

“[I make] carrot juice with ginger (lots of it!)” — Yaron Rosen, ADIN Scout

“I got a bunch of these Arc'teryx 5 panel caps recently - 10/10. It’s like wearing a glove on your head. I turn up to work meetings looking like I’m about to climb Mount Everest but idc. Add a pair of Oakley Eye Jackets and an OG C.P. Company Goggle Jacket and I’m halfway to getting mistaken for Errolson Hugh (maybe the coolest person to ever get dressed).” — Hannibal Morris, ADIN Scout

Wellbel Women for hair, skin and nails.” — Marissa Daisy Firke, ADIN Scout

ADIN wishes a happy holidays to all! ADIN works because of what our scouts and investors give: their time, their insight, and the deal flow that keeps the network moving. Let us know in the comments what you plan on gifting!
ADIN is a highly AI focused pursuit (bringing algorithmic venture with the full force of AI agents). ADIN is also just as much about the people. We’re building a network where early-stage funding happens faster, fairer, and with more incentives for the people on the bleeding edge. If you want to be part of that, apply here to be a scout or investor and follow ADIN as we keep opening doors.
