Brunch with the Board was really so much fun! Thank you Rho and Seneca for beining the Tribe off line and IRL. Networking is a contact sport so using today to get to know each member, understanding your vision and your goals is a big part of investor readiness!

Now is the time to practice answering common investor questions. 🌿 Why did you start this company? 🌿 How are you funding the brand today? 🌿 Who is on your team? 🌿 Why do you want investor funding vs credit cards or other funding sources? 🌿 How much involvement do you want from funders in your day to day operations of the business?

Lots of people talk about the damage of the wrong co-founders and let the assumption stand that as long as you don’t choose them everything will be okay. Why don’t more people talk about the magic of finding the perfect co-founders? And how to fuse them together in a way that makes a startup much stronger than the sum of its parts? Why don’t more people talk about finding the most powerful thing that you can build into the heart of your startup before it’s even a thing? Tonight Our CEO is speaking at Aussie Founders Club on exactly that, and we expect he’ll challenge a few conventions on how to pick, pay and bond with co-founders in a wholly unprofessional but deeply necessary way. He’ll also share stories about the amazing people that almost became Maslow’s co-founders, and how there’s no shame in acknowledging that the fit isn’t always right. We date people before we choose life partners…. Why shouldn’t we date them before we choose business partners? Come along! Tickets below.

A few of us just wrapped up a challenging strategy session, which we called the Vision Summit. 😎 The goal? To focus on forward-thinking initiatives that will drive Insurely Inc. into the future. I went into this hoping to gain a more real, unfiltered understanding of Insurely—what it is today and what it could be tomorrow. THE RULES: This wasn’t about playing it safe. It was about stripping away the sugar-coating, confronting our weaknesses head-on, and ditching the “spreadsheet liars club.” We don’t need pats on the back from vendors who benefit from our spending—we need to own our missteps and dig deep into uncomfortable truths. Because that’s how we grow! This process wasn’t easy, but we’re walking away from it with a renewed sense of pride. Being a challenger brand in this David vs. Goliath game is where we thrive. And now, with our stones and sling in hand, we’re ready to take on 2025. #VisionSummit #ForwardThinking #Insurely #DavidVsGoliath #GrowthMindset eatbigfish Leanne Nichole Kate Brown
