My friend's home burned in LA's fire. I used tech to maximize my $5,001 donation


CES attendee and my first paid subscriber Tommy Keiser lost his home in the LA fires. The Shortcut CES Awards will go out tomorrow to draw attention to how to donate

Tommy Keiser, the FIRST paid subscriber to The Shortcut when I launched on Substack and one of my biggest backers when I lived in Los Angeles, lost his Altadena, California, home to the LA fires. The three of us grew close with over-the-top friendly competitions when I lived near them – heck, even when I moved to NYC, they’d still hold a better birthday party for me (without me) every year in a local LA bar. I’d love to see tech companies donate and help rebuild the lives of Tommy, Chelsea, and the people affected by the Altenda and Los Angeles fires.
