Operator Collective ??的动态

As you may have seen in nerd processor and in Fortune's Most Powerful Women update today, I started as Operator Collective ??'s first-ever Founder in Residence this month! ?? In 2024, I've spent time with more than 200 different startup founders. I've worked with them as?coaching clients?or helped them?tell data stories. I've gotten to know them in introductory conversations, at events, and in their search for customers and investors. These conversations have informed a lot of the writing I've done about startups this year, especially in AI. Founding is a difficult and lonely road, and much of what founders have shared resonates with me. When Mallun Yen?pitched me on joining?Operator Collective?as their first Founder in Residence, specifically to better support founders both in and outside the portfolio, I saw an opportunity to systematize and scale the work I've been doing with founders this year. Before I got started, I spent 6 weeks talking to 100 startup founders I hadn't worked with previously to find out what they wanted. I wrote about what they said in this week's nerd processor, and about the projects I'm focusing on based on their feedback. * Top of the list: Connections to legit customer opportunities * Bottom of the list: Drive-by product and marketing ideas Let's gooooooo!
