The first two weeks of 2025 feel like at least three last months of 2024 (at least in terms of velocity). Where do we go from here if things keep progressing as fast?

Read the latest The Curator issue to learn more what VCs think about it:

We should talk more about stress. Continuous high cortisol levels can lead to fatigue, sleep issues, metabolic changes, and ultimately burnout. By monitoring these levels, organizations can take proactive steps to support employee health and prevent burnout before it occurs.

Does anyone else feel like 2024 is giving off serious Empire Strikes Back vibes? The good guys took a few hits, yeah. But remember—what came after was The Return of the Jedi. Let's build new lightsabers, rally the team, and maybe unfreeze our continent from carbonite.

So... now that Facebook is joining the axis of evil (i.e. dropping fact-checking and other community protection rules), what do we think about www.mozi.app ?
