Exciting times this week! We got our first angel check, we got accepted into Alchemist Accelerator, and we are getting some great feedback from customers! Justin has been a huge supporter of my journey back to entrepreneurship for many years. He is a fantastic entrepreneur, business leader, and friend. I could not be more excited that his is our first check in. Alchemist Accelerator (https://lnkd.in/gReTjeud) is a minimally dilutive program for B2B Enterprise focused startups that includes executive coaches, sales coaches, mentors, off-sites, and a large network of VCs and early adopter prospects. With a brilliant team and hubs around the world, we are ecstatic to become part of the network. I'm so grateful to Ravi and his team for taking us through an extensive but respectful process. We can't wait to join cohort 39! One more thing, this week we got some amazing feedback from a customer: "I’ve made SprintReview a part of my daily routine." "Really love that I can see what people are doing in plain english." "A couple of months ago that one of the developers was really pushing himself. I ignored that. Now that I can see that in the tool. I want to reward that. Developers love justice." *frisson* Massive thanks to Royal, Corey, Matthew, Stephan, Bridger, Will, Daniel, Jesse, and Chris for all of the feedback! Exciting times!

Congratulations to Matt Wood for a 15 year run at Amazon Amazon Web Services (AWS) holding cloud and AI infrastructure. Excited for the future journey!
After 15 incredible years, it's time for me to say farewell to Amazon. One William Gibson quote has always stood out to me: "The future is here—it's just not evenly distributed yet." At AWS, I've had the privilege of being at the forefront of that future, putting technology that was once out of reach into the hands of every builder and business, helping to reinvent entire industries. When I joined AWS, the cloud computing landscape was just beginning to take shape. It has been an extraordinary journey to be part of a team that has fundamentally transformed how businesses operate, grow, and innovate. I want to thank the two key groups who have made this possible: ?? To my AWS colleagues: I’m grateful for the talented people I have had the chance to work with. Your dedication and customer obsession have been inspiring—whether we have been shaping operating plans, crafting keynotes, working backwards, launching products, building diagnostic labs, or racing 1/18th scale autonomous cars. Thank you. ?? To all our AWS customers and partners: Witnessing your successes has been the most rewarding aspect of my time at Amazon. I have had the chance to work with many of you directly, and it has been a privilege to be part of your journey. Thank you. Gibson's quote has been more than a motto to me over the years—it's been a call to action. I'm excited to continue bringing reinvention, transformation, and the future to more organizations in my next role (more to come on that; stay tuned). ????
