2022 planning powered by Andrew Chen's "The Cold Start Problem" (& Titan!)

As I reflect on the past year, I can't help but say - 2021 was an incredible year for Polywork. We are beyond thankful for the amazing community we've built - and we're working hard to make the platform even better.

We have A LOT of exciting things lined up for 2022 - can't wait to share them with you all! 

I will confess I haven't gotten fully up-to-speed with Polywork yet but now is the time! Tonight I'll be interviewing Polywork founder Peter Johnston & Product Director Matt Breuer to find out a bit more about the origin story of Polywork, how they're building it, what their plans are and much more. Coming soon on One Knight in Product podcast!

**Insert "Hello Darkness my old friend" joke here**

I had to brush up on my recruiting skills since coming back to Polywork - and I am THRILLED to announce our upcoming new hires!

Polywork is going to make significant strides with the new folks coming in.

We're off to the races- try and catch us now.

Biggest welcome to:

and two more hires in the works :) 

I'm super excited to share my first highlight: news on Polywork!

I spoke to CEO Peter Johnston about how he turned his failed startup (RIP Kalo) into one of the most promising new professional networks since AngelList.

Polywork has raised $13 million in a Series A funding round from Andreessen Horowitz and an all-star roster of angels and solo capitalists.
