    I use @TownAI daily and tell every person I zoom or meet with about Town. It has increased my productivity and streamlines workflows to a point where I cannot live without it. So thankful for my townie Capri 🇮🇹 who keeps me in check every day!

    You heard it here first! First question at the Venture Debt Conference panel directed at me, “Melissa, you noted on our prep call that you hate venture debt”. Seems unlikely I’ll be invited back next year 🙃
