Michael touched base on Danielle’s promised mid-October follow-up; no reply yet. In the same email he relayed a request from Tim Draper (caught up last week): Tim wants to know if Adam would be OK with a public release of Adam’s recent interview with Tim, in part or whole, as content. Michael offered that anything Adam wants kept private for LPs is fine. Watch: Danielle’s options review outcome and Adam’s answer on the interview release (potential content win tied to the Draper relationship).
Update: 2026-10-15 - Danielle pushes decision to end of October
Source: Email “Rye Valley <> Boost: Next Steps” (Danielle Sosnick reply, Oct 15)
Danielle replied that, with upcoming team travel, she likely will not be able to discuss until the end of the month. Tone warm: she saw Michael’s LinkedIn post about the talk and offered to take a call anytime if something is time-sensitive. No answer yet on Tim Draper’s interview-release ask. Stage unchanged (proposal under review); timeline slips from mid-October to roughly end of October. Recommended: no further nudge before ~Oct 30.
