Cohort 36 Kickoff
Daniel Redman · SuperConnector Club August 13
▼
Key Learning Objectives
  • Understand the technology adoption lifecycle and the "chasm" between early adopters and the early majority
  • Identify your beachhead market — the single niche where you concentrate initial resources
  • Craft a positioning strategy that resonates with pragmatist buyers, not just visionaries
  • Build a whole product solution that eliminates the risk of adoption for mainstream customers

Fundraising the Right Way
Elisabeth Bykoff · Boxsy September 3
▼
Key Learning Objectives
  • Understand what investors actually look for at pre-seed and seed — founder-market fit, evidence of pull, coachability, and a believable path to scale
  • Build a tiered investor pipeline: warm intros first, thesis-fit one-degree second, cold outbound as a last resort only
  • Fix the most common ask mistake — craft a specific raise amount tied to runway and 2–3 milestones before the next round
  • Identify what disqualifies you before the pitch and how to eliminate those signals early
