Dave Gilboa shared thisGlasses are the most personal technology we use: they help us see the world more clearly and are the very first thing people notice about us. Today, we’re taking a massive leap forward in what glasses can do. Alongside our partners at Google and Samsung Mobile, we are officially unveiling our first Intelligent Eyewear frame. As we entered this new category, our challenge was clear: how do we integrate advanced technology that enhances our understanding of the world, without compromising what makes glasses great? For us, that meant combining beautiful design with uncompromising standards on the fundamentals: precision optics, exceptional comfort, and a fit designed for all-day, everyday wear. This debut frame is the result of thousands of hours of engineering and design. We’ve managed to house incredible capabilities within a silhouette that feels like a classic pair of Warby Parker frames. We’re just getting started on shaping the future of this category. We'll be launching our first line of Intelligent Eyewear this fall, and I couldn’t be more proud of #TeamWarby for continuing to lead the way in redefining the eyewear industry and expanding upon our mission of vision for all.

Dave Gilboa posted thisWe are all responsible for confronting evil and unequivocally condemning Hamas for their barbaric acts of terrorism. There is no contextualizing. There is no rationalizing. I stand with the people of Israel, the Jewish community globally, our employees, their families, and all innocent victims who suffer at the hands of terrorists.

Dave Gilboa shared thisWe’ve come a long way since we launched Warby Parker in 2010. This week we listed WRBY on the NYSE. Incredibly proud of #teamwarby and the impact we’ve had to date, enabled by our millions of happy customers and dedicated partners. Feeling immensely grateful to everyone who has played a part in the Warby Parker story. And we couldn’t be more excited for the future—both to scale our business and scale our impact. As the first public benefit corporation to go public via a direct listing, we hope to give the company a louder megaphone that businesses can do well and do good. To further these efforts, we’re also thrilled to announce the launch of the Warby Parker Impact Foundation, a public charity dedicated to helping people see—enabling them to thrive in the classroom, workforce, and beyond. Nice to see you, WRBY.

Dave Gilboa reacted on thisDave Gilboa reacted on this1 in 3 New Yorkers experience hunger. 1 in 4 New Yorkers (2.2M people, including 450,000 children) live in poverty and 1 in 2 New Yorkers suffer material hardship. Robin Hood is the nation’s most sophisticated organization fighting poverty. In 2025, we invested $140M across 295 organizations to serve almost 3M vulnerable New Yorkers. Last night, we hosted our annual #robinhoodbenefit and raised over $73M. The Robin Hood Benefit is consistently the largest fundraiser in New York and demonstrates how New Yorkers show up for one another. Thank you Pink, The Lumineers, Pete Davidson and countless others for making the benefit so successful. Congrats to the team at Robin Hood! Unfortunately, poverty is at its highest levels since Robin Hood launched its Poverty Tracker. You can learn more here (https://lnkd.in/eRkg8Stm). Please help and consider supporting Robin Hood (https://lnkd.in/eiAKcmTf). All contributions go directly to services while we (the board of directors) cover all overhead expenses.

Dave Gilboa reacted on thisDave Gilboa reacted on thisAfter 26 incredible years at Wellington Management, and nearly four decades in the investment industry, this week I announced that I will retire at the end of 2026. It has been the privilege of a lifetime to help build and evolve Wellington’s equity platform and, over the past decade, to work alongside so many talented colleagues to establish and expand our private investments business. When we launched our first dedicated late-stage growth in 2014, we saw an opportunity to bring the full picture of Wellington’s investment ecosystem to companies choosing to stay private longer. I’m proud of how far the platform has come and even more proud of the exceptional team that will carry it forward. We’ve built a deep, thoughtful, and ambitious team, and the time is right to pass the baton. I have every confidence in Shanna O'Reilly and the broader private markets group as they continue to grow the business and serve our clients globally. Wellington has been a special place to build a career, defined by intellectual curiosity, rigorous debate, long-term thinking, and a willingness to evolve when the facts change. I’m deeply grateful to the colleagues, clients, founders, and partners who have been part of this journey. I look forward to staying involved as an adviser to our late-stage growth strategy and watch the next chapter unfold for a team and firm I care about deeply. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the ride.

Dave Gilboa reacted on thisDave Gilboa reacted on thisTwo years ago, I handed over the CEO job at Allbirds, and began to build a new company. What I learned surprised me, and it changed how I’ll lead forever. Today, I’m thrilled to unveil Biologica, the company my wife, Liz, and I have been building. Our mission is simple: to help millions of women feel their best. But the journey to get here was anything but simple. Without any lived experience in women's hormonal health, I had no intuition to go on, and my only choice was to listen. We first conducted hours of focus groups across the country. Those insights informed an extensive health study we conducted with 1,000 women. And, those findings were central to the months-long conversations with OBGYNs and other women’s health specialists on our Medical Advisory Board. And, of course, I talked with Liz about it everyday. Here is what I learned: --Women's biology is magical and very different from mine – it does NOT need ‘balancing’; --Her hormonal stage (reproductive, perimenopause, etc.) drives her top health concerns and nutritional needs, rendering the supplement industry’s ‘one size fits all’ approach ineffective; --Each stage requires distinct nutritional support and symptomatic relief that can be delivered through very simple, but thoughtful, stage-specific supplementation. All our research, findings from the 1,000-woman study, and much more are on our website. And the business lesson? I should have taken my subjective intuition out of management decisions at Allbirds long ago. And, every leader should do the same regardless of their product. By being deeply curious, and listening to our future customers of Biologica, I made better decisions every day. I kept myself out of it. I listened to what women told us, and strictly adhered to relevant and credible medical research. No shortcuts. I’m incredibly proud of what Liz and I, along with the small, but very mighty team at Biologica have launched today. We’re confident that Biologica will help you feel your best, because you’ve already told us how you’re feeling without us! Please give it a try. One lightly fizzy (delicious!) drink daily to feel your best, and move on with your day. www.biologica.com #Entrepreneurship #WomensHealth #Startup #Leadership

This is a complete reinvention of the WHOOP experience. -Two new devices: WHOOP 5.0 & WHOOP MG -14+ day battery life, 7% smaller -Breakthrough health features, including Blood Pressure Insights, Heart Screener with ECG, Healthspan with WHOOP Age, Hormonal Insights, and more -New Sleep Performance score -LeatherLuxe: our most premium band ever, crafted from Italian leather -Redesigned apparel and accessories, including new bands and off-wrist options -WHOOP Advanced Labs (coming soon), which integrates clinical lab results into your WHOOP data -Three new membership tiers This launch is the start of a new era for WHOOP. At a time when healthcare systems are reactive and often inaccessible, we're building a health platform that empowers members to put the power back in their hands. WHOOP is evolving into the central operating system for health. Hardware remains at the heart of the WHOOP experience - and we're introducing two new devices in today’s launch. WHOOP 5.0 delivers over 14 days of battery life, is 7% smaller than 4.0, and has enhanced sensors that power insights across sleep, recovery, strain, stress, and health - plus, it has an all-new haptic alarm. WHOOP MG takes it further, with the same battery life and size, while also including Blood Pressure Insights and Heart Screener with an FDA-cleared ECG. Our latest software innovations unlock entirely new dimensions of health. Healthspan with WHOOP Age lets members measure their physiological age and pace of aging. Blood Pressure Insights makes it simple to understand the effects of blood pressure on sleep, strain, and overall well-being. Hormonal Insights provides deeper visibility into menstrual cycles and hormonal health. Our new Sleep Performance score better recognizes sleep quality. Customization remains key. The new LeatherLuxe band, crafted entirely from Italian leather, is available in multiple sizes and colors. We’re also releasing updated SuperKnit and SportFlex bands, along with our new CoreKnit bands. For those who prefer to wear WHOOP off-wrist, our new WHOOP Body apparel line sets a new standard in athleisure. I’m also excited to share a soon-to-be-released feature: WHOOP Advanced Labs. Members will be able to schedule blood tests directly through the app to get more personalized guidance on their cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal, and immune health. And now, WHOOP offers more choices than ever. Members can select from three memberships - One, Peak, and Life - making WHOOP more accessible and customizable for everyone. Members with over 5 years on WHOOP who upgrade to Life will receive our Milestone Collection, a meticulously crafted keepsake box made from solid North American maple. Check out WHOOP Unlocked to dive into everything we’re releasing on the all-new WHOOP. https://lnkd.in/eih9F_Kt #whoop #unlocked2025Introducing the All-New WHOOP Experience | Unlocked 2025Introducing the All-New WHOOP Experience | Unlocked 2025
