Happy Friday party people,

Welcome back to Napkin Notes: the only newsletter Sam Altman takes a break from his sauna and cold plunge cycle to read 📰

Since it’s Friday afternoon and you’ve had a hell of a week, we’re gonna keep today light and fun. Which means:

• showing you funny memes

• and reminding you to RSVP to our next pitch event

Sound fair?

Good.

Now, moving onto more “corporate” topics.

 🥁 Wanna Hear Some YC Alumni Pitch?

What do you get when you mix together:

• 4 big-name startups

• a bunch of smart investors on a panel

• and 500 people that have already RSVP’d?

A kick-ass pitch event that you should be at.

That’s right.

The 4 startups pitching are:

• Pirouette 

• AptDeco

• Jupiter

• Healthcare Originals

And we’d be nothing without the help of our pals at Capital Department. So big kudos to them. They are a fundraising advisory firm which helps founders unlock capital). They’ve helped put this kick-ass pitch event together so we’re jazzed to co-host it with them

So, what’s it gonna be?

You coming to the event or what…
