Premoney 30: Promoshare & Rendezview

Welcome to week 30! We’ve hit 79 investor / advisor <> founder introductions to-date this year, which is awesome. Slightly behind the target of hitting 1000 by EOY - but I’m confident we can hit that number!

🚀 Partner Shout-out: First 1000

Publication: First 1000

Focus: A weekly case study into how various companies acquired their first customers!

Why? As founders, investors & lovers of start-ups, I’m confident you’d enjoy First 1000’s weekly case studies. They share a case study every week about how companies like Zapier, Doordash & Tinder got their very first customers.
