Anna Gát: What's on at Interintellect?
Hello friends,
So much good stuff coming up for you on and around Interintellect. I know this week has been insane, and many of you are worried about the future of the country, the world — the economy, your families.
At Interintellect, we work day and night to build something timeless for you where you can just show up, ease up, connect, and discuss. We believe that it is in times like these that organisations like ours are the most sorely needed. While I’m sitting in Manhattan and filling my Instacart shopping list with pasta, tuna cans, and lightbulbs (because my Eastern European Jewish brain says: “Who knows what’s coming?”), life carries on as normal. Or whatever the version of “normal” is in a startup like Interintellect.
I led my company through COVID as a solo founder, stuck in a strange country, building and waiting. And even this crisis is just the beginning for us. Interintellect grows every day as we expand our platform to host brilliant and good-hearted creators building their conversations online and offline about philosophy and science, history and the arts, economics and literature. Without politics, without the daily stressors, just discussing the ideas that mattered yesterday, that still matter today, and that will matter tomorrow. It’s all about the things that last.
