Resident

Excited to share an update from my friend Maxim Razmakhin He just opened Resident, a new co-working space in NYC that’s worth checking out. It has a great design, smart layout, and a real community feel. If you’re looking for a spot to work outside the house, host meetings, or just be around sharp people, take a look: https://lnkd.in/eMBzPuYg I also have three passes for 67% off. Ping me if you want one. #coworking #NYC #startups #community #workspaces

My friend Maxim Razmakhin is building something interesting for hybrid teams called Resident Company Club. I use hot desks at WeWork. It’s okay, but often loud, calls in common areas, phone booths always busy. I’d love a quiet space for the team without paying full price for an office that sits empty half the week. Resident’s idea: Share a private office with another company on alternating days. Your space on your days, empty when you’re not there. On top of that, office days aren’t “same as home but with commute”: -Focused work sessions and light accountability -Warm intros and connections between teams -Built for hybrid from day one Max has a few-day passes and team offsite options to try it (best for teams at ~$500K+ revenue). DM me if you’re curious and I’ll connect you.

The person working next to you has a crap ton of impact on your day, week, month, year... I used to think workspace was just about space -- good WiFi, quiet corners, good meeting space and unlimited free coffee (my unapologetic non-negotiable) After a dozen years of building cos, I'm embarrassed to admit it took me a hot minute to realize proximity matters more than perks. When you’re surrounded by people solving similar problems, you absorb knowledge differently. You overhear a vendor convo that saves you weeks of research. A casual chat over lunch turns into a partnership. You get sharper just by osmosis. I recently visited the new shared workspace Resident in Flatiron -- and the spot TRACKS. They vet members before they join -- founders and operators at similar stages, all with that “give-first” mindset. It shows. Every person I met was dealing with challenges that felt familiar. Even the background chatter was useful. Big shoutout to my guy Maxim Razmakhin for building something special -- and for doing it right here in NY. If you’re exploring workspace options and want to check it out, hit me up for passes and promos (for teams doing $500K+!).

We recently gathered fashion & apparel founders to discuss how Gen Z and Gen Alpha are rewriting the consumer engagement playbook. Read our latest post about what’s shaping the future of consumer brands. https://lnkd.in/eXtjsQzC

Our latest community-generated post, inspired by a Jeffersonian lunch with consumer investors, where we explored the current landscape of investing in consumer brands.

Two weeks ago, we gathered a group of family offices to talk about their perspective on office space. Does it matter where their companies work? We break down what we learned in our latest article. https://lnkd.in/esq6yEKs

We had an incredible time hosting a group of brand builders to talk about the meteoric rise of people as brands. Think Joe Rogan or Mr. Beast. They are their brands, and their customer and engagement numbers are truly staggering. Is this the future of consumer brands? We explored this in depth, and we’ll be sharing the group's learnings soon.
