Joined Amela for an educational webinar "Demystifying The Founder's Journey" today. I was looking forward to the guest speakers + Q&A with founders to hear about challenges in the journey. 💎 Guest speakers, and founders themselves, Roxana Antohi & Aaron Polhamus had some gems: -readiness is a myth -be a "body in motion" -focus on a small market you can win -don't get caught up in the hype OR the doom -how to approach industry peers -networking tips esp. in CDMX Thanks also to Michelle Fischman from Amela for being an adept facilitator--keeping the Q&A fresh so speakers could roll out the helpful advice + inspiration. 👁️🗨️ We will definitely keep an eye out for future sessions from this team! 🎯 Building up our strengths at Archer Impact helps us to be better founders, engage fully in our mission, and produce better results for our clients. #startups #femalefounders #supportnetwork https://lnkd.in/eFernPcY

Building a product: A lesson from those who nailed it. Attending yesterday's Supabase Open Source Meetup SF, inspired me to dive deeper into the companies behind the event. This led me to a 2021 blog post by Supabase - Ant Wilson detailing their launch process. And Here some key lessons from their approach: - **Deadlines with Flexibility**: Set firm timelines but stay flexible with goals. - **Community Involvement**: Treat users as partners for valuable feedback. - **Iterative Development**: Launch early, improve continuously. Wonderful panel with Yoko Li Mathias Biilmann Christensen Michael Chiang Kurt Mackey Paul Copplestone Ant Wilson #Startup #ProductLaunch

We are 💪🏼 preparing for the Demo day, a crucial milestone in our startup's journey! On June 7th, while Sandra Leonor was enjoying her birthday 🎂, I had the pleasure of hosting the Rocket Sessions and being nostalgic. 😆 Manuel Barbosa joined us on a session that provided a few insights to our startups on fundraising strategy, from an investor perspective. After that, we took time to do a pitch practice group session with the cohort, preparing for the Demo Day and other potential future pitching opportunities - thanks to our founders who did their pitch (Jsonify, StrategyScout, Humaned, True Odysseys and ZEN8). A few key conclusions: 💰 Raising capital is like any sales & marketing process - you should plan and prepare for it; 💡 Every investor is different and has their own way of dealing with meetings; 📌 Make sure to have a call-to-action at the end of your conversations with investors, and don't forget to add them to your investors' report to stay on the radar; 🔁 Give investors a reason to re-engage. The Demo Day of this Spring Batch is approaching, and we can't wait to see our founders show their progress to our partners, investors, and mentors!
