This investor seeks to have you sign a confidentiality agreement to build Legos together.

An investor and former CEO of GitHub, Nat Friedman, has shared a curious proposal on his X profile. In his post, he invites people to his office in Palo Alto to assemble a 5,000-piece Lego set, offering pizza as an incentive, but mentioning that participants will need to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).

The combination of building Legos and pizza seems like an attractive offer for a Friday night; however, the requirement to sign an NDA raises certain concerns. While I am not a legal expert, it is important to be cautious when signing agreements of this kind without thorough consideration. Still, if I lived in Palo Alto, I would consider attending this event and accepting the NDA, as the idea of participating in a secret Lego circle in Silicon Valley is intriguing.

It is unusual for a well-known investor to make such an invitation so publicly, as he must anticipate an influx of Stanford students looking to pitch their business ideas. Additionally, facing the challenge of assembling a 5,000-piece set is not something to be taken lightly, so it would make sense to seek help, especially with an audience of 215,000 followers.

However, the fact that he mentions the NDA from the outset adds a touch of mystery. What could be hidden in this meeting that justifies the delivery of a confidentiality agreement? It could be that Friedman has access to certain exclusive Lego sets, something akin to a luxury item in the geek world, or perhaps he simply wants to ensure that no one shares his location.

It is common for some celebrities to have their acquaintances sign NDAs, but in this case, GitHub is a well-recognized company, although Friedman may not have the same level of fame as other entertainment names. In any case, if anyone in Palo Alto is a Lego enthusiast and willing to collaborate on this unusual journalistic story, it would be fun to learn more.
