Amplifying COVID resources

April 26

Hi all, the situation in India continues to be devastating. We know there are a lot of links out there on how to help but we thought it would be helpful to amplify them. Please, please consider donating. Anmol and I have both chipped in, in whatever small way we can. We know it is a drop in an ocean, but every little bit helps right now.

We will also match your donations up to the first $1,000. Please DM / email us your receipts.

Stay safe, everyone.

A short resource list:

• India Covid resources is a good central repository of some key organisations that are helping in the relief effort, with links to donate. Helpfully, they also specify which organisations accept international payments. These include - including Act Grants, Give India, Feeding from Afar, Enrich Lives Foundation, and others

• Sonal Chokshi and Snigdha Sur hosted a really informative CH room on Saturday, with a focus on things we can do to help.

• More tactically, Ashwini Asokan had a great tweet thread on how start-ups can prepare for the madness that is coming up, since this is going to get worse, before it gets better

Thought I’d take a few mins to share some ‘small autonomous teams win’ analogy to startups who can treat teams as small units who can be helped, prepared ahead of the madness coming up. This is not the peak. The peak is yet to come. So prepare. HR, Ops, Founding teams 👇🏽<thread>
