The Quiet Pain of Letting Go

What No One Tells You About Firing Someone You Actually Care About

I’ve had so many personal experiences as a founder—real, raw stories that shaped who I am today. But to be honest, I’m a pretty private person. I’m not one to blast the intimate details of my leadership journey across the internet for just anyone to see.

So, I’ve decided to make the Founder’s Corner stories available to paid subscribers only.

This isn’t about making money off “juicy” founder tales—I’m not here to sell drama. In fact, all proceeds from Founder’s Corner subscriptions will be donated directly to Women in Data to support their scholarship fund.

Shoutout to Michelle Yi, who inspired me with her own incredible newsletter and giving approach.

For everyone subscribed (paid or not), I’ll still be sharing insights on AI, robotics, human-machine collaboration, and the future of tech—because I believe access to that kind of knowledge should be open and free.

Now, for this week’s Founder’s Corner: “Letting Go.”
