🎉 We're at +1,000 members, side-hustles, founders course, coronavirus preparedness, metrics, and more
This is a bi-weekly newsletter offering helpful life and work updates/resources for founders, funders, family, and friends.
Hi all! Welcome to all new subscribers of our newsletter. We are now +1,000 members! Grateful for all of you. And because many of you are curious and asked for it, I’ll share bi-weekly helpful life and work updates/resources for founders, funders, family, and friends.
On that note, about a month ago, I asked Twitter if a first-time founders course (FTFC) was needed and I got +300 people saying yes. So, I’m giving the course a go with Josh! We have full-time day jobs so this side-hustle will take a bit to 100% materialize. That said, we’re devoting our weekends to FTFC and working on module one. We expect to launch a beta with 10 volunteers soon.
Stay safe, coronavirus prepared, and share your ideas on how to keep making this newsletter better!
