While we aren’t entirely new to tech people sharing their favorite recipes, we haven’t yet gotten the chance to take a peek at what startups founders set in front of their very own families during the holidays. While inherent in the startup life is a philosophy of constant work and a dedication to pursuing the best things for your company, it’s sometimes important to be reminded that people who work in startups do take the time to celebrate with their families; Thanksgiving is one of those important times of celebration. Read on to see what startups are making this week with these Thanksgiving recipes.
