Notes
What are re wanting to remember?
- Use a formal Decision making framework for making and ratifying proposals
- Proposal: Create a space for “Pitch Practice” (Ana); see here
- Clarifying questions:
- How does this relate to @Miah Shull Olmsted’s concept for a capital salon and / or how does it relate to the “Founders raising financing” circle?
- This would be a practice forum, whereas the salon is part of our matchmaking prototyping
- Is this sort of pitch practice a membership benefit? Honing their own pitches in a safe environment? Or pitching to investors? — What’s most of interest here?
- How would you organize this in light of number of founders who might potentially be interested?
- How does this contribute to our strategic goals around navigating eligible co-op members to the capital that’s right for them?
- Hearing an element of community connection, members getting to know each other; and: could be part of technical assistance offering for members as part of white glove
- Follow up from conversation with Sendit Founder Michael (Esme) (10 mins)
- might be candidate for showcase / salon
- @Miah Shull Olmsted getting ready to operationalize the salon
- target date — mid to late May
- Asana board here
- Other tools for use by capital circle?
- MN sucks, Asana tricky
- Proposal: try harder using Asana messaging function at Capital portfolio level and / or use Google groups
- Not all decisions are consent decisions, and the choice of tools for the entire co-op is a matter of an entire circle, the Infrastructure Circle
