So we often work on facilitating innovation and brainstorming with teams, but recently we've also been doing it internally and ... the result has been really efficient! Working together and building on everyone's gut feelings, insights and data helped with building a new offering dedicated to solopreneurs and (very) small businesses, based on the idea that... 1 - just because you're small doesn't mean you shouldn't have access to a kick in the butt every now and then 2 - because you're small means you need even more stimulation, especially from peers who are in the same boat at the end of the day 3 - teaming up with other entrepreneurs is a great way to hack growth. We do it, we know... Anyways, more on this new offering later. Or feel free to reach out to the Impactified team! Philippe BONNET Samuel Demarais Sébastien HIDALGO MERCHAN Alexandre BESSON

Taking a *DEEP* breath before reflecting on investor thoughts yesterday: 💎 The lack of current exits mean less powder for VCs to deploy into new startups—change in behavior—they are willing to write one big check vs 10 small checks AND are reinvesting into their existing port cos to shore up future risk 💎 Founders need to understand their dilution with SAFES, too many lawyers have seen founders struggle in subsequent raises and kill their startup due to miscalculation 💎 Protect your IP with clauses in the offer contract for anyone touching your startup—a lot of $$ and time is wasted with investors at due diligence because this has not been squared off with the team Today's theme is INTENTIONAL WELLNESS and RESILIENCE with my phenomenal partners Peter Darrow, M.B.A., Mark Nguyen, Ryan Williams, The KINN, Planet LA Records, Zachary Oliver, Melissa Li, Mark Jones, Terell S., Hawke Media and Madeline Darcy.
