Dear @bae-explorers, welcome to Day 4 of BAE, and the end of Week 1! We hope you’ve made some great progress on your startup!
We’re excited (and getting anxious!) to go into more depth with your startups, and to see where we (the Cohort Leaders) and we all (the other teams, mentors, etc) can provide deep value to your efforts.
To move closer to that depth, please take 3-4 minutes for today’s video to include:
- Your pitch
- Progress since last week
- Your #1 question or challenge
- Plus take another minute or two to give us a full update on your startup status thus far.
Please share your videos in a new post in this Day 4 Category.
Got anything to share with us that can help us give you feedback?
Please describe in your video and share with us whatever relevant documents you have (this could be a financial model, your pitch deck (even if it’s just your starter pitch deck with your latest updates etc.), wireframes or designs, etc. We do not expect you to create any new documents for this, and we don’t want you to spend time updating things just for us. We just want to see more fully where you’re at, so we can keep figuring out together what would be the most helpful for your team.
To share those docs, please create a folder for your team inside “BAE | Team Folders” on our g-drive and upload your documents there. If you are concerned about privacy for some documents, feel free to make a “Private” folder inside your team folder, and share it just with us Cohort Leaders for now (dana@altcity.me, bg@pitchworthy.co, and dmn@altcity.me).
Want some focused support? Sign up for a special “Team in Focus” session today.
Like every Saturday, we have Open Office Hours from 3-4 pm, and can help any team with anything, work through any issues, etc. As well, once the team videos are submitted at 4pm, we want to mobilize the energy of the whole group to help teams address some of their critical issues. These “Team in Focus” sessions will be from 4:30-5:30pm today (up to a half-hour each), and via a live video conference call with all us Cohort Leaders, plus other BAE Explorers who can join. Sign up for a slot here.
(We’ll share simple sign-in details for the call as a top-banner notice on community.pitchworthy.co by 4pm today.)
NOTE: There are only a few “Team in Focus” slots available each day, but don’t worry, if you don’t get a chance today, we’ll make sure every team has an opportunity for this intense, focused feedback, plus 1-on-1 sessions with the Cohort Leaders, in the coming few weeks. Plus all teams that progress to the next stage of the Bootcamp Anywhere program will get connected with expert mentors matched to your startup sector and needs to provide even more focused expert support.
Also, even if today isn’t your “Team in Focus” session, please join us on the video call to give feedback and support to the other teams. From our experience, the teams sharing feedback often get as much out of these discussions as the teams receiving feedback.
Yours In Pursuit Of Excellence,
+Bilal, Munir, Dana
