Aug 2020 (part 2) | Townhouse Call + Opportunities
Wow is this month speeding along - We’ve had some great pitch competitions, we’ve had some great AWS Africa events and we had a great event with Brad Feld last night!
Up next week (2nd Sep 2020) - TOWNHOUSE CALL WITH DEREK - there will be 2 MASSIVE announcements being made, you do not want to miss this one.
We’ve made it a time that nearly everyone in the world can join (yes, it’ll be recorded - but we are trying to Break Bevy Virtual - so would love to have you all join!)
COHORT CLOSING SOON
The “Director Cohort” is when all new directors go through a 6 week training course and get correctly trained with the latest marketing, sponsorship training, technology and best practices content. This ensures that they become amazing directors.
Of those that have not done the cohort - only 60% are active and hosting events when they should - compared to those that have passed the cohort where 85% are active and hosting events.
If you are a director (those that have, and haven’t done the cohort) and would like to do the training/have a refresher - please go and click “join” or “apply” here. (remember to log in with your Startup Grind email)
If you are a director and would like to take part in the next cohort - please sign up here.
Applications for Cohort close Friday 4th September.
NEW APPLICATION PROCESS
We’ve rebuilt the entire application process from the ground up.
If you know of anyone that should be a director, or you want to get training for your co-director - please get them to apply here: startupgrind.com/start/
Applications close 4th September 2020
