I’m finally doing it! I’m niching down my tech community to software founders and creating a regular space for them to hear not only from me but other leaders, winners and experienced software founders & operators. Less than 1% of software companies are founded by black men or women (far less for women) who generate $1M+ ARR consecutively and/or get an exit or IPO. We have to work harder, smarter and leverage social capital to open doors for growth & sustainability. Let’s also be honest, in the social media space there’s some gatekeeping and pride holding back access and information that could propel someone else. We not doing that over here. So here it is, our first conference for black and brown software leaders with speakers who are masters in their craft and will provide you with spreadsheets, SOPs, checklist, scripts, process flows and more tools to readily apply to excel. saasincolor.com If you have a community and would like to offer them a discount to attend please reach out, I’d be happy to set up one for you.
