Looking Ahead

As we continue on in Q3, our team is focusing in on our core functions and redefining how we can do what we do best...bringing great people together.

We have continued to break our previous weekly introduction record and our new team members are making a few introductions themselves!

One of the biggest changes we are making is officially releasing our private community on Intros AI, a cutting-edge platform designed to facilitate meaningful connections within communities. It will allow members of The Nucleus Network to connect between other members at scale. If this sounds appealing, shoot me a DM!

Last time, we let you know what we were going to focus on over the next few months. While we continue to grow, the team has spent a lot of time on:

• Using data to see which industries & introductions are working/not working
• Expanding our “With Friends” series into Ice Bath With Friends, Coffee With Friends, and more!
• Doubling down?on fundraising and partnerships with Family Offices, VCs, and other financial services to bring the most value we can to our partners based on recent successes

Thanks for reading! We are still working out a few final kinks with the newsletter, so if you can, please DM to let me know with what you liked and disliked on the above.
