Michael McLernon shared thisI’m proud to share how Instacart is supporting SNAP families during these troubling times. I’m also hopeful that my network will consider donating to local food banks to support families in need. instacart.com/donateMichael McLernon shared thisFor millions of families, SNAP benefits are a lifeline — and with the funding freeze looming, many are wondering how they’ll keep food on the table. That’s why at Instacart, we’re stepping up with immediate support: Offering active SNAP customers 50% off their next grocery order to help stretch their grocery dollars further, and nearly tripling the size of our Community Carts program to power online food drives for more than 300 Feeding America partner food banks nationwide. Everyone should have access to the nutritious food they need — every day, in every community. We’re committed to helping families weather this moment, and I’m deeply proud of our teams for leading with care, compassion, and action, and for continuing to show what it means to deliver for the communities we serve — including Sarah Mastrorocco, Casey Aden-Wansbury, Andrew Nodes, Michelle McRae, Laura Anderson, Belinda Garza Hartwig, Sarah Fleisch, J.D. Harrison, and so many more. Learn more about these initiatives below, and please consider donating food directly to your local food bank at instacart.com/donate. https://lnkd.in/gDYdC3hyInstacart Launches Support for SNAP Families & Food BanksInstacart Launches Support for SNAP Families & Food Banks

Michael McLernon shared thisCome join a great mission, company and team! 🥕Michael McLernon shared thisMy own path into Compensation hasn’t been traditional - I’ve gravitated toward roles where analytics, curiosity, and building better systems are at the center and have found the Compensation team here at Instacart a great place to continue to grow those skills and put down my roots in Comp. It’s exciting to see Instacart investing in scaling this kind of thinking and making it core to our compensation work. Come work with me at Instacart! I am for hiring two new roles for our newly-formed Compensation Data & Insights Group. This might be a good fit if you’re passionate about data-driven insights, process improvement, research and analysis, or finding creative ways to solve business problems. We’re looking for people starting or continuing their careers in Compensation who bring new ideas, creativity, and a spirit of innovation. If you thrive in turning ambiguity into action, let’s talk!

Michael McLernon liked thisWhen I first pitched Patent Prom to Cassandra Frederickson, she was skeptical but willing to give it a try. Many years later, we look forward to our big night out, catching up with friends, and meeting new people. #Goodwin #IPLitMichael McLernon liked thisAs a health tech founder and CEO, IP is never far from my mind — patents, protections, and the legal scaffolding that lets innovation actually flourish. It's the foundation every great idea is built on. So it was a genuine privilege to join my husband Robert Frederickson at the NYIPLA's 104th Annual Dinner in Honor of the Federal Judiciary this past Friday in NYC. Being in a room with some of the most accomplished IP attorneys in the country — people who dedicate their careers to protecting the innovations that shape our future (yes, my husband being one of them) ��� was a powerful reminder that the work behind innovation is just as important as the innovation itself. It's what allows companies like mine to take risks, build boldly, and bring new ideas to life. A big thank you to Goodwin for hosting another spectacular hospitality suite — the food was outstanding, the people and conversations even more so, and the laughs were plentiful. Grateful for the evening, the connections, and the people who protect the art of the possible. 🥂 #NYIPLA #Goodwin #IntellectualProperty #IPLaw #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #SimbiQ #Innovation #NYC #WomenFounders

Michael McLernon liked thisIMO, an SOS to all founders out there (not just mine :)). As I mention in this post - “Move like you've never moved before – and if you can't, change your culture first. Speed is no longer a competitive advantage. It's the price of admission. The companies that survive this moment won't be the ones that eventually adopt these tools, they'll be the ones that already have and have restructured their entire operating cadence around them.”Michael McLernon liked thisIn a new blog post, Oak HC/FT General Partner Matt Streisfeld explores how AI is driving a structural reallocation of human and machine capital – not just reducing headcount, but fundamentally changing how work gets done. Recent signals, from Block’s shift toward “intelligence tools” and leaner teams to market reactions following Anthropic’s Claude Code Security launch, suggest the market is establishing a new baseline for operational velocity and efficiency – fundamentally rewriting the startup playbook.

Michael McLernon liked thisMichael McLernon liked thisAbout 15 months ago, after being laid off, I did what any logical person would do - I left the corporate world, moved to another state, and decided to open a cat lounge. At the time, I had an idea, a lot of unknowns, and just enough confidence (and probably delusion!) to believe that creating a space centered around cats, community, and connection could actually work. Since then, it’s been everything you’d expect from starting a business - the highs, the lows, constant problem-solving, and learning things I definitely didn’t cover in my corporate career… like how to run a business while being judged by 15+ cats on a daily basis 🙃 . Now, 9 months after opening, I’m proud to say it’s become something really special! We’ve helped 200+ cats find their forever homes. Strangers have become regulars, and regulars have become friends. We’ve built partnerships with schools, group homes and retirement communities, and we host monthly events that bring people together in a unique way. It’s more than just a business—it’s a place that supports cats and builds community. The challenges definitely haven’t stopped—efforts to grow revenue and bring in new customers are never ending, and I continue to learn (a lot) about cat behavior. But I’m proud of what’s been built in such a short time. I recently had the opportunity to share more of this journey in Voyage Michigan magazine. If you’re curious about the path from idea to reality, I’d love for you to read more (link in comments). To my friends, family, and former coworkers who have cheered me on along the way—thank you. I truly couldn’t have done this without you! 🐾

Michael McLernon reacted on thisMichael McLernon reacted on thisToday I’m taking my final spin through the grocery store at Instacart after 7½ incredible years. I’m leaving deeply humbled and full of appreciation for the opportunity to be a part of such an extraordinary company, helping it scale from a small startup into a public company and the leading grocery technology company in North America. When I joined Instacart in 2018, I was already a devout customer, obsessed with the service that helped me unlock time, get the groceries and goods I needed, and avoid walking up the hills of San Francisco with overflowing bags. I was inspired by the mission of the founders and leadership team, and by the chance to partner with some of the scrappiest, smartest people I’d encountered. Beyond loving the product, I found my people. The Instacart Communications team is world-class. I’m a big believer that how you work matters more than the work itself, and I couldn’t be prouder of how this team shows up every day. Together, we challenged the status quo, became part of the mainstream through ideas we dreamed up, navigated the moods of the markets, had the hard conversations when we needed to, and so much more. We supported one another, earned a big seat at the table, and proved that narrative can drive real business results. Thank you, Apoorva Mehta, Brandon Leonardo, Max Mullen, Nilam Ganenthiran, Ravi Gupta, Fidji Simo, Chris Rogers, Laura Jones, Christina Hall, and the rest of the Instacart team, for an unforgettable run. Helping build this function – and working alongside all of you – has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my career. I’m forever grateful to each of you. As for what’s next: on Monday, I’ll be joining Netflix as Vice President of Global Corporate Communications. I’ve long admired Netflix and its mission to entertain the world, and I’m thrilled to join Dani Dudeck and her talented global leadership team – including Emily Feingold (UCAN), Oliver Rawlins (EMEA), Flavia Vigio (LatAm), and Joy Albert (APAC) – as well as the broader communications org. as they help shape the company’s next chapter. As someone who went from renting VHS tapes as a kid from my family friend’s store Video City in Chino Hills, to getting DVDs delivered in the mail from Netflix, to now having the opportunity to join the most innovative company in entertainment – I could not be more excited to dig in. And as a mom of two young boys, I may finally have a little street cred at home now that I’ll be working at the place behind their favorite Saturday morning staple: Trash Truck.
