Last Week at Aggregate Intellect!

We had a full day strategy session last week where we discussed our priorities for the next year or so. We have been signing more and more projects and getting more and more inbound to the point that we think we should start saying "no" to more projects and become more selective about what partners / projects we choose. This is, of course, in line with our ambitions to resurrect our product in a whole new market after the turbulent last 18 months we experienced.

Unsung Hero(s)

Kevin Kliman is hands down the hero of the week by helping us with a very important logistical aspect of our strategy meeting. Thank you Kevin for being awesome!

Hat tip also to Shaw Talebi for sending me several customer leads, Bohdan Zabawskyj and ? Ravi Ravindran for making intros that are most likely turning into new contracts, and Christina McGirr and Steve Luengo for brutally constructive tear down of my sales deck!

LLM Stuff

See the workshop announcement above.

Startup Stuff

• At founders' health session we talked about reconciliation of contradictory preferences. What we learned was that when you dig deeper you often see that both preferences are trying to help you in similar ways and getting down to that root is a good way to find the middle ground.
• At our founders and friends walk, we walked through ravines of east Toronto, and beaches, and enjoyed a great Hungarian meal.
