Hello reader,

Look at the time – it’s already June.

How has your H12025 been? In writing this newsletter, I always find myself amazed at the funding deals companies can close even amid these trying macroeconomic conditions. They serve as a reminder that every cloud has a silver lining, and all we can do is focus our efforts on things we can control.

To answer my own question: It’s definitely been a challenging year, but I find a lot of joy and meaning in most of my day-to-day work. That’s the stuff I can actually do something about, and taking small steps toward improvement keeps me fulfilled.

Here’s to a great second half of the year.
