Enjoy The Work

Fundraising — is it more than just a pitch deck? Raising capital is a discipline that when mastered, can fuel a startup’s potential; and when ignored, can doom a venture before it starts. Contrary to most of what a young entrepreneur reads, there is a method to the madness of fundraising... and it involves a great deal more than just a pitch deck. Recently, Enjoy The Work partners Ruben Ortega and Josh Brewer had the pleasure of partnering with our friends from GRIDX to share Enjoy The Work's fundraising frameworks to a room full of inspirational founders. Our Fundraising Is Much More Than A Pitch Deck Workshop Highlighted: ✔️ The 28 Questions All Investors Ask ✔️What Represents A Minimum Viable Investor Funnel ✔️ How To Construct A Professional Fundraise & More Many thanks to Matías Peire and Martina Ramirez from GRIDX for having us, and to all of the founders who attended, asked questions, and will visit us for follow-up office hours.

The Canadian startup scene is truly remarkable!🎉 We were thrilled to be back at Montreal’s exceptional Startupfest last week for a vibrant three-day event that brought together founders and investors, fostering meaningful connections and providing invaluable startup education. During the event, our very own general partners—Kristen Hamilton, Lesley Ross, Josh Brewer, and Jonathan Lowenhar—had the honor of presenting Enjoy The Work's proven frameworks for transitioning from founder to CEO. We were privileged to share these insights on both the main stage and during an Enjoy The Work takeover event, sponsored by Google for Startups. Special thanks goes to the triumphant trio of Rebecca Croll, Alistair Croll, and Philippe Telio for facilitating numerous moments of connection and new relationships, as well as providing opportunities to engage with such an inspiring community. We also extend our gratitude to Iran Karimian and Alice Kawka from Google for Startups for the wonderful collaboration. Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to all the innovative founders who attended our sessions, posed insightful questions, and reached out to connect afterwards.

Off-sites aren't just optional endeavors—they're essential. We regularly guide our founders how to prepare and execute compelling off-sites. How to craft a great agenda, choose a location, facilitate strategy sessions, keep the room engaged, build deeper connections and ensure that learnings are captured. In fact,we can’t even count how many leadership offsites we’ve helped facilitate. Our Enjoy The Work partners increasingly are spread across the globe as near as San Francisco to as far as Lisbon. Yes we're on Slack, we email each other, and we're regularly on video calls. But those tools are no replacement for time together. That's why we practice what we preach and three times each year we embark on a journey to some beautiful, connecting place to break bread, share laughter, and learn from one another. Most recently, we found ourselves just outside of San Francisco at Willow Camp for 4 glorious days and nights. Building a business is hard. But it can still be fun.
