Hello, fam 👋🏾

This week started quite rocky (not a fault of anyone in the lab). Shorya and I spent hours discussing ways in which we can work around the technical issues that were presented with (as a result of an external contractor). Wednesday (yesterday) was the turning point and this week has been a good one.

So, what is worth celebrating?

• Technical challenges sorted

• Caught up with some VCs in my network

• Made founder <> VC intros

• Pitch content for showcase 100% done

• Had our fortnightly check-in with the squad

• Getting our comms community stack ready ahead of private launch

• Confirmed the first companies to be onboarded

What’s next?

• String of announcements for first cohort of:

  • Opening of talent signups + waitlist

  • Onboarded companies

Shout-out to…

• David - he has gassed (hyped) me up so much this week.

How can you help?

• Intros to companies or talent who may be a good fit for our product.

• The product isn’t ready yet but we would love it if you could sign up for our waitlist or subscribe to this to receive product updates.

How can I help you?

• Happy to brainstorm ideas or have a coffee with founders that are interested in web3 either from a personal or business standpoint.

• Can make intros to funds, founders, talent and senior stakeholders with a focus on web3 or diversity and inclusion.

Written with ❤️
