We surveyed our Finance, Legal, and People leaders on their favorite part of last week's summit, and the answer was "each other." Big thanks to all our leaders for showing up and making the time so valuable. Special shout-outs to our amazing portfolio panelists from Lighthouse (Matthias Geeroms, Eva Metsu, Peter De Moor) and Lucid Software (Seamus Hennessy, Cara Frisbie, Kat Judd); our "Between Two Palms" interview subject Ryan Woodley of Netcraft; and The Knot Worldwide's Emily Markmann, Origami Risk's Nikki Facchini, Varicent's Robert Levine, William McNamara, of Zenwork, Inc, John Gronen, and veteran tech exec Kathleen Phillips, for leading breakout sessions. It was a privilege to bring everyone together, and we can't wait for the next one.

“There's been so much investment in productive, aligned workplaces, and it's time for family lives to get the same attention." Kudos to Nick VanWagner and the newly-named In Tandem team – a big moment for families and their support systems.
Today marks a significant milestone in our journey as we officially launch In Tandem! In Tandem brings together three established brands—OurFamilyWizard, Cozi, and FamilyWall—and one newly developed product—Custody Navigator—as a global technology platform supporting key stages and milestones of family life. We believe technology can champion deeper connections within families, strengthen bonds, and improve communication. At In Tandem, we empower families with tools that help them navigate the challenges of modern life with confidence, calm, and ease. Read our press release to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gCiu7nQj
