Hey , We have over 150 members (founders and engineers) across 6 countries, but everyone has been really busy. We’ve been struggling with getting people to engage at ETF Discord (DMs don't count). So I asked the team to pause on the programs they had. It was pointless unless it was useful. Let’s instead, focus on the people who need something right now, and what they need. At our last physical hangout, I asked a few people about. With their responses, I made a list. 1. Cofounder Match-MakingDo you need a co-founder? Reply to this mail with who you’re looking for in a co-founder. Are you open to being a co-founder? Reply to this mail with the kind of opportunity you’re looking for. 2. Marketing SupportGetting your first set of paying users is hard. I've helped over 60 founders improve their go-to-market strategy. Would you like to run a marketing goal by me? Let me know. 2. Startup Ideas ValidationThere are a few founders like myself who are open to helping you think through your startup problem/ideas. Would you like a session to run a few things by a few people who have a bit more experience than yourself? Please reply to this email and let me know. 3. Fund RaisingAre you ready to raise funds? There are a few people who’ve done it before and are willing to guide you through the process. Let me know if you’ll appreciate this. 4. ETF ConnectAre you open to meeting other engineers/founders? Let me know what country, expertise, industry, etc, and we’ll make a match. Tinder for founders might not be such a bad idea :) Week’s reading |
