There's definitely demand for what we do
by Jochem GerritsenHere's our weekly update at our community for European startup founders, Enter Network.
1) What did I work on last week?
✅ Implemented a new 'most active person' competition on our private Slack server. If you're the most active person in one week, you (and your company) get mentioned on our social media. I'm curious to see whether this will lead to more activity!
✅ Created 2 new website pages: Startups (overview of some startups who are part of our community) and Resources (only for members — which includes all our recorded events)
✅ Had a few new people signing up for a trial membership or our mastermind groups! So things are headed in the right direction.
2) What did I learn last week?
I learned that there's definitely demand for what we do.
Sometimes, I doubt whether we're going in the right direction. There are people who cancel their membership, or who simply aren't interested when I pitch them our community or mastermind groups.
However, sometimes (like last week), I learn that many of our members find it very valuable; and that there right people are inherently interested in joining a mastermind group or our community in general. So this is a learning that I have to remind myself of anytime I'm feeling down. We're doing something right!
3) What am I working on this week, and what are my goals?
- As an experiment, create an 'open startup' page where you can easily see the revenue of Enter Network.
- Improve acquisition channel experiments, and create a launch plan for ProductHunt, so that we can launch next week.
- Add 'deals' page to our website, so that people can access our deals there instead of on our Slack
- Find new mastermind facilitator for our Dutch mastermind groups.
