forward this with your friends to join our growing helpful grassroots community of founders, investors, and advisors at www.startupstudygroup.com/slack ssg.space / contact: charles jo 650.906.2600 – twitter @charlesjo

 

focus

  1. We are crowdsourcing referrals/recommendations to women founders and investors.  Please use this link in http://ssg.space.
  2. We need everyone’s help with engagement on http://ssg.space as we are reaching out to awesome startup bloggers.  We want aggregate the best startup blogs for our education but also showcase our member bloggers who may have equal or better content than the top VCs and angels.  We should all be reading these anyway but if you can take a minute to comment, that would be great.  I encourage everyone to continue to blog (and of course build/test/ship products) but I need us to refocus to engagement :)
  3. Please sign-up and check out HubYard: Open Source Social Media Management by @shub (Slack) @theforthwall (Twitter).
  4. Stats: 253 members; 188 on Slack. Yes! the http://ssg.space has helped us grow!
  5. Please continue to support @nimakaz (Slack) for his Brazil/LATAM/Canada startup network and events.
  6. For those interested in ssg’s open source global legal forms project for startups, please contact Nathan (@nuclearpengy Slack/Twitter) for more info.

 

Thank you all for creating the community we want and need.

 

Charles
