Vance (YC W22)

A memory like no other! ✨ What a delightful twist to our #VanceWaliDiwali 🪔 celebration! It was also Vipul's birthday! He's been a Vance customer for a long time, and no better time to celebrate with him than now! 🎂 Wishing you a fantastic year ahead, Vipul! Thank you for being an integral part of the Vance journey! 🥳

✨ A surprise like no other: Celebrating #VanceWaliDiwali in the UAE 🇦🇪 with our customers! ✨ This Diwali, we decided to sprinkle a little extra magic across Dubai and Abu Dhabi! Instead of just sending virtual greetings, we surprised our amazing users at their workplaces with a giant cake! 🎂 (Because, let’s be honest—who doesn’t love cake?) The reactions when the surprise arrived were absolutely priceless, and they loved every bit of the personalized messages from our founder, Parth Garg! 💌 At Vance, we’ve always believed that our users are the heart and soul of our journey. Your feedback and passion have shaped us into who we are today. Every suggestion, every story shared, and every challenge tackled together has fueled our growth and innovation. 🌟 As we celebrate this Diwali, we’re incredibly grateful for you — Shalabh Goyal, Shahanas Alibava, Skandhaprasaad AL, Nihad Moideen, Vinod — and all 150,000 members of our Vance family who have played a vital role in our story. This surprise wasn’t just about satisfying a sweet tooth; it was a heartfelt reminder that we’re all in this together! 🤝 Here’s to more surprises, more laughter, and a sprinkle of joy right here in the UAE! P.S. Stay tuned—we’re coming to surprise our customers in the UK very, very soon! 🇬🇧 #Diwali2024 #VanceWaliDiwali #SweetSurprises #NRICommunityLove #NRI #NRICommunity #IndiansinUAE #IndiansinDubai #IndiansinAbuDhabhi #Gratitude #Dubai #AbuDhabi

Honestly, we’re thinking of starting an art gallery on the side; Vance Van Gogh, anyone? 😉 We hit pause on the daily grind and enjoyed our artistic side last week with 🎨 Art Attack at Vance HQ 🎨 Our team swapped spreadsheets for sketchpads and code for color palettes, and it was an absolute masterpiece. The energy was high, the laughs were plenty, and the art? Well, let’s just say we might have a few hidden Picassos among us! From painting Bart Simpson to creating dreamy skies, the talent on display was nothing short of canvas-worthy. 🤩 A huge shoutout to our organizers, Ananya Saxena, Rajan Dube, and Ananya Reddy Kunduru, for organizing this art-tastic day ! 🙌 You three really brought the paint to life (pun intended)! 🖌 🌟 #ArtAttack #LifeAtVance #CreativeChaos #TeamFun #OfficeVibes

We just wrapped up an exciting session of "Spin the Yarn" 📖 - our fun, oral storytelling game designed to simply have fun on a Friday (bonus: creativity, teamwork, and the ability to navigate ambiguity, all the ingredients for startup success!) What we aimed for: We split everyone into groups of four, handed each team a unique story prompt, and set them loose to craft captivating tales filled with solid premises, wild twists, and satisfying endings. What we got to see: Absolute magic! Every team spun stories so captivating that they're begging to be written down or turned into blockbuster movies. 🎥 While all teams did a phenomenal job, here's a special shoutout to our "Star Performer," Rishi. His creative twists and story continuations were absolutely top-notch! Here's to many more storytelling adventures and the amazing stories yet to be spun. ✨ #Creativity #Teamwork #Innovation #Storytelling #StartupLife #SpinTheYarn #TeamSuccess
