Hi Larry,<\/span>

This is Diana Muturia, founder of Clyn. I noticed you were the first to register for Clyn\u2019s 4.0 Launch <\/span>this Tuesday<\/span>, thank you!<\/span>

We\u2019ve been focused on pushing out the second iteration of our product and haven\u2019t had a chance to properly plan the event, so we\u2019ll be moving it to a later date.<\/span>

I also saw that you\u2019re an LP with Thesis and an investor who understands the short-term rental space, well enough to invest in a motel. I\u2019m not actively fundraising at the moment. Honestly, the wave of AI startups has created some collective fatigue in the investment world, and I want to be transparent about choosing to power through with what we\u2019ve raised instead of killing our momentum just to say we closed the round.<\/span>

That said, I\u2019d still love to walk you through Clyn\u2019s technology on Tuesday if you\u2019re open to it. If it doesn\u2019t align with your thesis (pun intended), no worries at all, I\u2019d be happy to reconnect at the rescheduled launch.<\/span>

Let me know what works best for you.<\/span>

Warmly,<\/span>
Diana<\/span><\/p>\n
