So good to hear you were in Riyadh recently. I am within the ecosystem of PIF, Ben and Sriram are coming end of October for a high profile conference. I’d love to connect with you privately on a few things. Let me know what would be the best way.

Thanks

Siby

Yes, very much looking forward to what’s about to happen with PIF. That’s going to be groundbreaking. Marc and team was in Miami back in Feb at our summit, it’s been really great to have you guys part of the ecosystem. Perfect! I’ll drop you a note shortly

Great to see a16z exploring the region. During the next visit, it's worth making a stop in Dubai / Abu Dhabi. Interesting things going on here as well.

May I suggest morning steps outside carrying a weight or wearing a weighted vest, instead of indoor machine grinding. Walk 7K seps carrying a 25 kettlebell. Add a baby in a carrier and you won't need the weighted vest.

I’m LA based too. Go up to PA relatively frequently as well. Would love to stop by.

Cool to see you are getting into health. Check out Upspace app. It’s new and early but designed to be the “everything health app.” Similar model to Spotify but for health.
