'Co-Founders' taps into universal hustle, from Silicon Valley to Vallejo - 48 hills
Briefly

'Co-Founders', a play co-created by Anthony Veneziale and Beau Lewis, emphasizes technology's role in fostering equity and alternative futures. It tells the story of a Black woman in West Oakland who collaborates with a White former prep student to save her home. Veneziale argues for changing the narrative around wealth distribution, while Lewis reflects on therapy-like meet-ups that inspire vulnerability in competitive tech spaces, showcasing music and personal stories to navigate shared fears and ambitions.
We need to find new stories that inspire us towards a version of the future where it's not .001% of the world that has 98% of the money.
We found kind of a safe place in improvising and sharing comedic personal stories at a weekly cadence where music, hip hop instrumentals, pulled the stories out of us.
