What a blast to have Mike Maples, Jr of Floodgate drop by to share insights from his new book Pattern Breakers ??. His fireside chat was moderated by Sam Rowe ?thos and was loaded with a ton of takeaways. I met Mike 10 years ago during the Harvard Business School Rock 100 Summit, and he's only gotten more approachable and giving with his time: from the moment I handed him a glass of wine to the end of the 75-minute masterclass fireside chat plus Q&A with whiteboards. Extra thanks to Sara Fraim Mass Technology Leadership Council, Jihye Kim, Doug Levin, Derek B. Forum Ventures for making this evening happen! One of my favorite takeaways from the night was that each of us - regardless of whether you're a #founder #operator #investor #professional - can define individual competitive advantage as "your best self." This personally resonates with me as well as with hundreds of #talented people who I've sat in the #startup trenches with during the past 20 years. Today, I'm applying that takeaway through Hunt Club helping companies find the best fit talent through trusted relationships, and Atlas, a Hunt Club Company revealing the amazing people who are reachable from our collective networks. https://lnkd.in/erV4JUFv

Outstanding guide for choosing the angel network that is right you, from Brittany Ryan (TBD Angels member and founder of Sunrise Advisors)
Health Tech & Life Sciences | Product & Commercial Executive | Startup Advisor & Investor
Evaluating Angel Groups: Considerations For Prospective Members I’ve heard from a ton of people asking for my perspective on different angel investment groups, and for advice on how to choose the “right” group. With the goal of helping more people get experience investing, I put together some considerations below, based on key distinctions I've seen across groups. You can use these questions below to evaluate potential groups, and also identify which elements are most important to you personally: ? Leadership: Who are the leaders of the group, and what are their experiences? Are these people you want to learn from? Are leaders accessible to members, and in which forums? ? Portfolio Mix: Which industries do you want to invest in, and are those represented in the group’s portfolio? How are deals sourced? Are a small number of members bringing in the bulk of the deal flow, and who are they? ? Member Roles: What are the different roles members play within the group? Are there open near-term leadership opportunities that are a good fit for your interests? How hands-on do members get to be across the deal cycle? ? Current Members’ Experience: There are a number of groups out there catering to first time investors. Dig into the current membership composition and their professional experiences. Having a membership that includes experienced angels, VCs, operators, and industry SMEs is highly valuable. ? Community: How do members stay connected, and how does the group facilitate these connections? Identify how many members are local to your area, and see if their interests and goals align with your own. ? Transparency: Learning within any group will be driven in part by how much transparency you have across what the group is doing and saying about deals and broader opportunities. How does the group facilitate transparency for members and founders? ? Founders Served: Which types of founders is the group most excited to serve? How is the group facilitating investment in and support of underrepresented founders? Look at the leadership teams, advisors, and board members of existing portfolio companies to validate this. ? Founder Collaboration: How does the group work with founders across the deal cycle, and following investment? How does the group support founders today, and how would leaders like to see this evolve? What feedback does the group provide to founders who pitch? How does the group support its portfolio companies? (Out of characters, share your adds below!) –? Hi, I’m Brittany Ryan, Founder & Principal at Sunrise Advisors. I serve as a fractional product and commercial executive to health tech startups, venture capital firms, and venture-building teams. I help health-focused organizations at all stages define their solutions, test their key assumptions, and go to market in collaboration with their stakeholders.

As I continue navigating the startup world, it’s clear that genuine connections often matter more than the product itself. Jason Burke’s approach with All Stage reminded me that building authentic relationships can be the key to long-term success. Inspired by his dedication and authenticity, I plan to take the same approach—not just with my product, but in how I engage with others. Because, in the end, it's the people who believe in you that help you push your vision forward.

Connecting people by answering "who actually knows who" | Building the future of networking
In crowded spaces like media and adtech, relationships aren't just important—they're everything. Think about it: ? Your product is solid ? Your service is great ? But so are a dozen other companies vying for the same contract What gets you that foot in the door? Relationships. Here's why: ?? Buyers are inundated with pitches. A familiar face or name cuts through the noise. ?? Trust is currency. When spending big budgets to hit KPIs, buyers lean towards people they know and trust. ?? Warm intros lead to warmer conversations. Cold calls are as effective as shouting into the void. ?? Your network is your net worth. Every connection is a potential gateway to your next client. It's fascinating how interconnected we all are. That prospect you've been trying to reach? Your colleague used to work with them. That CMO? They play pickleball with your intern's mom. (True story!) In a world where products sound way too "same", your relationships are your true differentiator.

Making bets on things I love, things that I believe should exist in the world, and people I believe in.
My whole career has been built around forging deep relationships rooted in the “real stuff”. ? Not surface level questions like “How’s business?” But things like what’s really going on in people’s lives, their families, hobbies, passions, dreams, fears, and being there to celebrate the wins, and lending a hand to dust off failures - together. ?Real relationships make great business if they’re prioritized, cared for, and nurtured. That’s why we launched our software platform, Atlas, powered by Hunt Club. Atlas unlocks your most valuable asset in a company - their network. ?It’s the technology that powers Hunt Club to make sure we can find the right relationship at the right time for our clients.?It’s now a standalone product powering companies, funds and sales orgs to help think about the right introduction, at exactly the right time. Why??Well… Over 95% of our customers shared they’re using their collective network poorly > How many times do we send an email asking if anyone knows somebody versus asking for a specific introduction??Imagine already knowing who your network really knows. Over 32% of our searches already have the winning candidate in our client’s companies first or second degree network > How often do companies engage in executive search before understanding who your board, advisors, leadership & team really know? Over 75% of the sales pipelines we’ve analyzed (above 100 employees and including investor/advisor relationships) have a warm touch point they can go through versus relying on SDR’s > How often do you start a multi-threaded cold outreach versus seeing who on your exec team or board can connect the dots? I think we can solve this, and make “Network first” everyone’s first move. And yes... Atlas has AI.... ?But not the kind that allows you to send 1000 more emails a day. The kind that allows you to send 1 email and get the right meeting, with someone who's actively listening versus just going about their day... Link to try it in the comments or DM me / drop me a note [email protected] and we'll personally walk you through how to make your company "Network first"
