Nothing beats the electric energy our Pelagic team offsites continue to generate, and I think last week in LA was our best one yet! We had new team members Arden Sanchez Daniel Manley and Saipranav Damireddi ‘drinking from a firehose’ while Natan Bershtel went full math teacher on us, Jessica Mann led a master class in emotional intelligence, Cristina Herrera trained us all on how manage collective team capacity in times of high growth and Stephanie Shein outlined the importance of standardizing our internal tools, training, and processes across all of Pelagic as we continue to add more and more humans! Other highlights included a meditation workshop with Meredith Baker, a field trip to the Getty museum, an amazing Saturday community hike, sustainable new Pelagic merch (Jonathan McCarther) and water bottles, insanely delicious food prepared by Blu Most and so, so much more. A huge thank you to Liza Jayne Cohen for all the help organizing and facilitating - I am already excited for the next one as we continue to invest in ourselves to grow and be able to continue to support our clients as the best version of ourselves! 🌊

When I was working at Seed Health, I felt utterly overwhelmed as I navigated the many complex operational challenges that were an inevitable part of building a fast-growing business. The combination of incredible leadership, trusted partners, countless hours of hard work, and a little luck transformed me into a seasoned operational expert, and eventually allowed us all to succeed - but I realized that there were many builders out there who didn’t have the operational knowledge, tools, or systems necessary to scale and thrive.  This is why I am so excited to (finally) get to tell the world about - https://pelagic.co/ - deep operational expertise for pioneering teams and ideas. Pelagic is a word that means ‘of, relating to, or occurring in the open sea’ - which refers to the ‘lost’ founders we seek to help with their ocean of operational problems, but also relates to the way in which we sustainably support them on their journeys. We are deeply grateful to the remarkable clients that have already taken a chance with us so far (Homecourt, Cabinet Health, DryWater, Viva Raw) and are very ready to help many more founders to build their operations, sustainably! I am also insanely proud of our small but extraordinary team - please reach out if you want to learn more, meet them, or explore working with us!
