🤕 Lows
  • Larger enterprise deals have a longer sale cycle. This is not exactly a low but just a realization that we need to give ample space and time for these deals to go through.
🎉 Community (FIESTA)
  • We have many amazing opportunities landing at our feet. 🎉 
  • September became our largest FIESTA gathering to date! 
  • We hosted over 30 women in our home for The Female Founder’s, FUNDers, and Friends event.
  • We view FIESTA as a hub and are adding various monthly “spokes” of smaller gatherings led by individuals with a passion.  i.e., The Female Founder’s, FUNDers, and Friends' event, First Friday Founders Fundraising, Impact Friends, monthly dinner with the Werners,  and hopefully others.
