Teddy Solomon’s Post

I've built my entire NYC network in a cold plunge. Let me explain. Nestled between Lexington Ave and E 63 St in the Upper East Side of Manhattan sits a very special Equinox, housing a cold plunge and a disproportionately high number of influential NYC businesspeople, politicians, and celebrities. I know what you're thinking: "Teddy, do you enjoy cold plunges?" No, not particularly. Too cold. "Teddy, do you live in the Upper East Side?" No, way too expensive. But I love the people. Yes, they're slightly taken aback when I ask everyone their story for the first time. Yes, I've gotten my fair share of accusations of either being a standup comedian or on drugs (no in-between). But, once they open up, they've got some of the most fascinating stories I've ever heard. From the guy doing climate work for the UN, to the 2x exited founder, to the guy whose company is about to go public, to the prolific VC, to the orthopedic surgeon. For whatever reason this specific cold plunge is the magnet for the most diverse range of successful people in all of New York City. The E 63 cold plunge is a generational find, and if you're raising a round of funding, looking to hire great talent, or just trying to learn from those who have seen decades of success, I highly recommend it. Just make sure to rinse off before you get in or this one dude will yell at you.
