several sophisticated investors told me **not** to invest in @AdamGuild. too young (he was a high school dropout). too inexperienced. but he became the OG Z Fellow. i saw a fire that kept me up. and wrote the very first $100,000 check into him. in the 5+ years since,…

Adam Guild is the CEO of Owner, a business he started when he was only 17. It now has tens of millions in revenue, hundreds of employees, and thousands of customers. I’ve had the pleasure of working on his board for a few years now, and he is one of the most impressive people…
After starting a bootstrapped business to help restaurants drive dine-in customers, March 2020 would bring all of that progress to a halt. And @owner founder @adamguild would need to act fast to save the company. This is the incredibly detailed story of a pandemic pivot.
One of the best companies I have ever invested in is @owner (Shopify for restaurants) They have flown under the radar but they are growing ~3x annually at 8 figures in ARR Will hit 9 figures in ARR next year with insanely strong expansion economics, congrats @adamguild
if there is a better operator than @adamguild i have yet to meet them
