This week on StartupNash

Here's how StartupNash can help you this week.

First, how are you?

That’s the question I always ask almost every day on StartupNash. When I created the group, I wanted to make a space where my peers could share how things are really going. I see StartupNash as an ongoing conversation around building your business, but also around how the community can help support you with access to other entrepreneurs, better resources, and more open knowledge sharing. I believe our startup community can get better faster when we are all willing to openly learn and share lessons.

If it’s been a while since you’ve updated us, log back in here and please feel free to DM me if you have thoughts or feedback about the community.

Want to do some #networking?

Networking is such a heavy word. It can be tough, especially virtually. We’ve decided as a group that meaningful connections are an important part of growing our individual businesses. That said, finding the folks on StartupNash who can help is still a process. I want to make it a lot easier by connecting you myself. I’m matching peers to other peers by skill to start. We are using a product that is growing out of the group called Britepeer to match peers to fellow colleagues, mentors, and services. You can also use Britepeer to ask an anonymous question to the group. Give it a try.

Example questions:

• I’m looking for a software developer with experience in this industry + a background in AI. Searching for a co-founder, but also not opposed to contracting an individual or a team. Who should I talk to?

• I'm hoping to interact with a digital marketing expert who can help us understand how to market a subscription product for at-home testing associated with men's fitness. Can you connect me with someone who does this?

• I am looking for digital marketing help to create a landing page and drive a signup list while building my product. Can you help?

Newest Britepeers:

• I currently serve as the Head of Operations at a venture studio, helping early stage founders build and grow their operations functions. Most of my career has been spent in operations and as a venture capital investor.

• 15 years of social media strategy experience working with small and startup stage to large post-IPO companies. I build social media strategies, campaigns, and content to achieve business objectives.

• Seasoned entrepreneur and startup advisor with a proven track record in launching, funding, and growing startups. I bring a wealth of expertise in raising capital from angels and VC/PE, go-to-market strategy and execution, financial modeling and projections, pitch decks, product-led growth, product strategy, enterprise sales and sales enablement, SaaS and subscription revenue models, project and portfolio management, Lean, Agile, and Kanban, software pricing and packaging, content marketing and thought leadership, and building a strong company culture.

Question of the week:

💡 I'm looking for help in developing a marketing / sale strategy for LinkedIn - both creating a following and placing paid ads. Know anyone?
