In all you do, take some rest.

Hi ,

I wanted to send a quick recap of our general meeting yesterday. It was fantastic to connect with all of you and hear your thoughts and suggestions.

Meeting Recap:

• It was wonderful getting to know everyone better during the introductions. I especially enjoyed our conversations about interests and passions beyond work.
• We talked through our weekly event calendar, and thanks to that I was able to gather feedback on timing and potential barriers to participation in the community.
• Community members shared their preferred ways to stay connected within the community.
• We discussed the upcoming ETF Hangout and the exciting plans we have in store.

By the way if you've not registered for our engineers/founders hangout, register here to secure a spot. 

Thank you to everyone who attended! If you weren't able to make it, I hope to see you at our next meeting.

What's new?

We've updated our weekly activities based on the feedback we got. We hope this makes it easy for you to particpate in our weekly activities because we would love to see more of you this week. 

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.

Ideas & Validation Sessions

Join us on Tuesday at 6PM WAT (8PM EAT) for our weekly Ideas Validation, Product Feedback, and Practice Pitches session!

Looking for feedback on your startup idea? Head to the #ideas-and-validation channel and post your request. 

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 Friday by 6PM WAT (8PM EAT).

We still want to hangout with you!

Yesterday's chat about our passions outside of work got me even more excited for our upcoming engineers/founders hangout. Can't wait to see you there this Saturday at 4 PM WAT (6 PM EAT).

How do you choose the right co-founder? 

Choosing a great co-founder can make all the difference in your startup's success. However, poorly selected co-founders can overcomplicate decisions, slow your progress, and hurt the culture of the business. It's important to understand

• What makes a GREAT co-founder
• What makes a POOR co-founder
• How to navigate difficult co-founder decisions.

Cheers to a great week🍻

Wishing you a productive week. Stay motivated, stay focused, and make it happen  💪

Warm regards,

Olajumoke
