Most people that follow me here barely know what I do for a living.
… and most new people that meet me presumptuously ask if I have a fashion startup.
Wekudo has been rejected by every single accelerator it applied to.

It’s been rejected by every single investor that we pitched too.
I’ve never been personally featured on any publication - small or large - and most time I feel like people ignorantly assume that I’m a pretty face ‘working on a cute project’. I never really thought to give up, but there were numerous breaking points that made me ask whether I’m ‘qualified for the job’. I recently read some old letter exchanges to a friend where I mentioned numerous times at the age of 19/20, that I will start my own company… one day.

And that day really is here.
How can I take any moment of this journey for granted?

Oh…speaking of…It’s been a fucking journey.

3 years I didn’t pay myself a salary.

I nickle and dimed my personal well being - zero savings, no fancy gym memberships or cool happy hours/dinners… all to save more money for the biggest question mark (and relationship) of my life - @wekudo

The only thing that kept on giving me hope over the first few years (before my other half joined - @hakimeyal) were our customers - From Google and Facebook to Spotify, Nike, Deloitte, and hundreds of others. The largest companies kept on giving me their trust to help them solve a problem that I believed I could help them with.

A week ago we started converting our clients to annual contracts and have seen such great initial traction that I’m truly humbled.

I feel blessed.

It means the world to me to have people in my life that keep pushing this dream forward.
Thank you
And - Thanks for reading. ❤️

“To whoever loves me next, I’m sorry if I’m afraid of you or if days of flirting turn to radio silence, without warning. I’m sorry if I make you say the words over and over and over until I believe them. (I’m sorry if I don’t believe them.) I will probably spend more time worrying about losing you than I spend trying to keep you. Trouble is, every single time I’ve ever thought something was too good to be true– I’ve been right. Understand, I will know how to be vulnerable with you, but I won’t know how not to regret it. And I have no idea how deep we’ll be into this relationship before I admit I’ve never done this before. Not really. Not in any way that counts. Before I admit that I know how to put my body inside someone else’s but not how to make it beautiful. I probably won’t be easy to love. Too many people loved me badly, I’m not sure I know how to do it right.”

==try not to sing along==

Come with me and you’ll be 
In a world of pure imagination 
Take a look and you’ll see 
Into your imagination 

We’ll begin with a spin 
Trav'ling in the world of my creation 
What we’ll see will defy 
Explanation  

If you want to view paradise 
Simply look around and view it 
Anything you want to, do it 
Want to change the world, there’s nothing to it 

There is no life I know 
To compare with pure imagination 
Living there, you’ll be free 
If you truly wish to be  (at Israel)
