What I wrote about this week (August 19-25, 2024): From tips on building personal brand to the Intro Probability Table for Venture Investments

In my last post I shared a few tips for founders, investors and leaders who are interested building their personal brand on LinkedIn . Quite simplified but hang in there...

I also opened my "How to build your startup product ideas from scratch (ZIZO)" course and offer it for FREE for the next 10 days. Already have a few more students who signed up for the course, which is going through a transformation and redesign.

I wrote about why we should also have a learning mindset and what are the 2 things I do at the end of every coaching and mentorship engagement with founders and leaders.

If you know me, you know that I believe that 'Kindness is my Strategy'. I received many requests from my network to make connections and introductions during the NYC Climate Week. I have made already 5 intros, but put my offer with more kindness with this post, and working to connect people in this event.

I won't be there this year, but it doesn't mean that I cannot make an impact.

I got some great recommendation from friends around my next headphones (focusing while commuting and having 3 boys around needs special equipment and some meditation :)

Thanks rohit sharma , Thomas Coleman , Marius Swart , Dima Dobrynin , David Spreng and others. For now it's head to head between the Bose and AirPods...

If you want to add your opinion the survey is still open: https://www.dhirubhai.net/posts/illaigescheit_which-headphones-would-you-recommend-me-to-activity-7232461327095459841-wcyc?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

I also wrote about how using AI tools such as ChatGPT and MidJourney can help founders building their funding and venture story, and shared a personal example.

I shared a visual table founders, can use to manage their resiliency throughout the funding process, where around 1 to 100 ratio of introductions to investors will lead to an actual term sheet and investment. I call it "the intro probability table".

And finally, I shared 5 actions founders can start today for their personal growth, from starting to build their personal brand to start embedding AI into their operations and management routines.

That's it for this week.

I hope this is valuable and gives you some food for thought and for action.

Happy week ahead everyone.

Illai.
