In all you do, take some rest.

Which program(s) would you like to participate in?

Hi ,

This week, we have:

• Ideas validation/Product feedback/Practice Pitches session on Tuesday, 4pm WAT (6pm EAT)
• Co-working session on Wednesday, 4pm WAT, 6pm EAT
• Founder Opinions Session (Case studies from other founders) on Thursday, 5pm WAT (7pm EAT)
• A talk on "Do you need a co-founder", on Saturday, 3pm WAT, 5pm EAT

Also, signify if you

• are open to connecting with other members of the ETF community through ETF Connect
• need a job (as an Engineer) or are looking to hire (engineers).
• would love some marketing support through partnerships
• have a technical talk you would like to share with the community (geek is okay)

What's new?

This week's Founder Opinions' session with OT is up on Youtube. Biggest takeaway - Whatever you do, do well. No matter how small.

Open to meeting other members?

We've opened up ETF-Connect. Essentially, let us know if you're open to meeting other Founders/Engineers. If you are, let us know your preferences.

Need early funding?

VCs have told us they will be willing to listen, if you are operating within some industries and are willing to hold yourself accountable on some metrics. This week's founders' opinions dig a bit more into this.

Do you need a co-founder?

There's almost no straight-forward answer here. We'll listen to a panel of both solo and non-solo founders talk through their experience, so you find the best path for yourself. This panel will happen on Saturday by 4pm WAT (6pm EAT).

Would you talk about your salary to motivate a kid?

Many companies have policies that keep salaries confidential. Do you agree with this? Do you not? As a founder or employee, what are your thoughts? Please reply to this if you do have an opinion on this. I'd like to collate these opinions as early poll results :)

Cheers to a great weekend 🍻

Wishing you a restful weekend. If you have a side-project grind, wishing you the most productive time ever :)

Warm regards,

Innocent
