2025 in review

2025 in review

In 2025, 1RG turned 3 and had its best year so far. Before we wind down for some well deserved rest, I want to celebrate some of our experiments, and the people that made them possible!

After spending a solid year in the trough of sorrow, something clicked in the summer of 2024. Some might say we found product-market fit, I think we found our people.

It takes a village
None of this would have been possible without the support of our community and great partners.

The biggest thank you goes to Jen, who temporarily stepped out of her advisory role to help us through the busiest months - demo day, Fabric, and many more events would not have happened without her thoughtful leadership. She also helped us be better organized and operationalized a lot of otherwise chaotic processes.

Special mention to Kailah, our marketing coach, who's never tired of encouraging us. But the biggest shout out goes to our members: more than half of this growth is a direct result of their referrals.

Looking ahead
As we shift into 2026, we're shifting our focus from growing fast to deepening our impact. Max, Jenny and Jen are working hard to bring you new series exploring how we navigate the tensions of tech in modern life - it sounds awesome and we can't wait to launch it!

Thank you for being party of this journey. The best is yet to come ;)
