Join Office Hours, Talk to a Human
Hosted weekly at 12pm ET, right here on Substack.
Dear Community, you’re invited to join us for live Office Hours, hosted 3x a week, right here on Substack. These sessions create space for problem solving, Q&A, and accountability.
Whether you’re a first-time founder building a new venture alone, or an experienced entrepreneur in need of extra support, this is an opportunity for you.
We’re using Substack as it offers a robust set of features, allowing us to create unique value for each other.
I see community-building becoming more important now than ever, especially as it’s become exponentially easier for people with ideas to actually build them, thanks to AI.
However, the growing problem is that many people are building alone. Even further, they’re building things that no one actually wants; they have no customers.
An app without revenue is not a business.
Building a successful business requires getting out of the coding terminal and into the market. If Claude hasn’t paid you for your brilliant discovery, then it hasn’t validated your idea. You can keep talking to chatbots all day and night, or even better, talk to a human.
As a National Science Foundation (NSF) trained instructor who’s led federally-funded venture development and commercialization programs at the university level, it’s my responsibility to help business owners avoid the common and critical mistakes many entrepreneurs continue to make.
Paid subscribers to our Substack gain access to Office Hours, hosted weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 12pm ET. Additionally, you unlock our community chat, a space for continued conversation and support, as well as the opportunity to schedule private 1:1s with our team.
Subscriptions are important for our business, as they allow us to create and retain jobs, invest in high-quality infrastructure, and provide unique value for our community. This includes hosting our popular funding competitions more regularly and making micro investments into startups like yours.
If you’re interested in learning more about why our work is so important, and why we continue to do things differently, check out our recent feature in Crunchbase News.
Our next session kicks off on July 1st at 12pm ET. If you’re ready to sign yourself up, or if you’d like to gift a subscription to an entrepreneur in need, just click the button below.
Let’s go further, together.
