An open letter from Serena and Jared - March 26, 2025

We wanted to release this letter at the end of 2024, and indeed we began drafting it before 2025 arrived. However, at that point there was still so much that was unknown to us, so much that needed more time for reflection and consideration before we could even put it into words. And although there remains plenty for us to sort out, as you will read in the letter, we do feel ready to give you all an impression of where we're at and in which direction we're heading.

In the body of the letter we repeatedly refer to the last letter we publicly posted on the website, at the end of 2023. If you'd like to read that letter again (or for the first time) yourself, it can now be found in our Archives
