The investor, former CEO of GitHub and All-Around Tech Guy ™ Nat Friedman published a strange tempting offer on X.
Of position He says: “You need volunteers to come to my office at Palo Alto today to build a set of 5000 pieces. It will provide pizza. You must sign nda. Please DM.”
Thanks to the research report of my fearless colleague Kyle, we know that he is not laughing.
Legos and Pizza keep the promise of a Good Friday at night if I’m honest, but the NDA is what it takes me.
I’m not a legal expert. But I can declare, with some degree of confidence, you should not go around the signature of Ndas Willy-Nilly. And yet, if I lived in Palo Alto, I would show to build this LEGO set and sign that NDA, without questions – the lure of discovering a secret worship of Lego Silicon Valley is very difficult to resist.
It is already a little weird to be a well -known investor who makes this bid publicly. He has to know that he is going to get a flock with Stanford’s Sophomores who want to put the starting idea, right? But 5,000 pieces of LEGO sets are not funny, and if you have 215,000 fans, why not get some help with an intimidating architectural challenge?
That is, I can pass through the “come do legos with me” set.
The rich peoples of technology are worth having fun too! But the part of NDA has destroyed me and now I have to live the rest of my life knowing that something strange is happening in this mind-minded encounter-something so strange that Friedman will report NDA from Get-Go. He could play it cool and chatting with potential manufacturers before informing them that they have to sign an NDA. But he put it all out there.
What could be so secret about this night of Lego? Does Friedman have access to some top sets of Lego that you can only get in chronic relationships with the company, such as a Birkin bag for Nerds?
Or he just wants to make sure that no one who appears is going to go ruthless and say to everyone where his office is? I know that some celebrities require the people with whom they sign ndas, but to hear: Github is cool and everything, but I don’t think Nat Friedman is at the same level of reputation as Timothée Chalamet.
In any case, if someone in Palo Alto likes Legos and is cool with breaking an NDA to help journalism the lower stages you have ever imagined, hit me.
