🔥 Community Spotlight
The Room Was Worth Building
The NYC happy hour happened last week, and the reaction in #hc-in-real-life was hard to miss. It was amazing to see a community built online becoming something real offline. We can't wait for the next one... but let us soak in the glow from the NYC event just a little bit longer. More in-person events are coming.

💬 Threads of the Week
|
Harvest just tripled its pricing -- what's your billing stack? →
A member flagged a renewal notice jumping from ~$672/year to $2,100+. The thread turned into a real comparison of billing stacks: Clio, Agree.com, PandaDoc, Pipedrive, even open-source alternatives. If you're up for renewal soon, this one's worth your time. Members

Do we have any Delaware corporate attorneys? →
A member needed a referral and found the directory came up short. The thread unpacked the familiar reality: most lawyers "do Delaware" without being barred there -- and why that distinction matters when someone specifically needs local counsel on the ground. Members

|
Anyone have a good CPA recommendation for startups? →
A member is fielding this question from clients more and more and wanted a vetted recommendation. The community came through with names, contacts, and some useful context on what to look for. Worth bookmarking if you get this ask regularly. Members
