The dark side of obligatory masks.
A guy just grabbed my phone on the Paris metro - in broad daylight, before we even stopped. Some old taekwondo lessons kicked in and I manage to chop it out of his hand and pushed him onto the platform. But how do you find a masked man?
Ugh.

This one hits hard. I’m selling my dream home (renovated over 3 years with heart and soul) because European banks refuse to lend to me as an entrepreneur. I’m basically unemployed in the eyes of French banks, lol.
Anyhoo—made it to SF, letss gooooo
"I am building a startup!"
Americans: letss gooo!
Europeans: Hmm, I am not sure, in the current climate? What about the risks? You will never get a mortgage that way! Did you consider your pension? What if something happens? What if it doesn't work out! What is your backup

Apart from inspiring our brand name (Meeno = nod to Meno’s Paradox & Socratic method), truly can’t imagine my career without the ‘flosfer’ mindset.
Love to meet more philosopher founders!! Anyone? 🤚

Banning abortions doesn’t stop them. It makes them less safe.
Today’s ruling is an attack on freedom and equality, and is at odds with our values at Tinder. We support Planned Parenthood, and are ensuring our US-based employees' right to access safe reproductive care.
We support the right to choose. We support the right to safe, accessible healthcare and reproductive rights for all.
Join as we stand with Planned Parenthood in taking action. Visit now.

Convinced that 90% of solving diversity in tech is early access.
I was the only girl in my neighbourhood and played with my brother & his friends: Meccano, Sega, Napster and ringtone software.
I didn’t realise I knew about ‘tech’ until I was at Uni. We were just having fun.
Did you know the world's most prolific tech entrepreneur is a woman?
"I was often the only woman in the room, or at the table. There were very few women at the top, and for sure, even fewer with technical backgrounds."

“On cue, Tinder’s former CEO is raising venture capital for an AI-powered relationship coach called Amorai that will offer advice to young adults struggling with loneliness.
She won’t be alone.”
Happiness is a function of your willingness to take an uncomfortable risk and have something wonderful … really wonderful … happen in person.
