Meeting

Chris & Anil | Plan for Trip

Jul 15 · 8:00 AM

Gist

Chris and Anil Gupta planned logistics for their in-person working trip: Chris arrives Wednesday evening, sessions start at 9am Thursday, meeting at a coffee shop called Maman before heading to WeWork offices in DC, with dinner locked in for Friday the 24th instead of Thursday since Chris already has a separate DC dinner Thursday. They agreed on a loose four-bucket structure for the two days — topic ping-pong through day one, brainstorming a new non-website business idea on day two morning at WeWork, with Anil sending his list of topics/questions by Friday. Anil also gave an update on the Multidots buyout situation with Aslam: they're finalizing a third-party valuation (expected 4-6 weeks out) before either side buys the other out, and the Canada meeting helped clarify positions without fully resolving things.
