hi friends,

Here's where I'm at this week:

• Already in the middle of my 9th, really excited about this one (I say that about all of them, but seriously this one!!! haha)

• Deal season is winding down as VCs go on vacation (: I am spending most of my time helping founders get their stories ready to go raise several rounds on August 1st!

• We are so close to launching a talent platform for Nashville startups, just working out the bugs…

• Published a finance & accounting 101 for founders (with a workshop to go with it next week!)

• Hiring, hiring, hiring. I am looking for:

  • Senior MCP Engineer for Watt Data 

  • Senior AI Automation & Application Engineer for Longview

  • Full-stack engineer, client success engineer, & data engineer for ai startup

  • Ai engineer for healthcare startup

A lot of last week was IRL gatherings with folks in Nashville:

Upcoming Events

• Nashville Tech Ops Community First Gathering, Tuesday, June 16th @ 5:30pm

  • We were inspired by the CS community kickoff so me, Nicki, and Mollie made one for folks who work in operations at tech companies!

• Finance & Accounting for Startups 101, Tuesday, June 23rd @ 12pm

  • ​Join us for a founder-focused session with Riverfront Advisors covering the financial fundamentals every early-stage founder needs to know, without the jargon. ​We'll cover what you actually need to set up, what you can ignore for now, and how to build a financial foundation that doesn't come back to bite you later.

• Making Your Products Go Viral: Basics of PLG, Thursday, July 16th @ 9am

  • Founders only workshop on PLG!

Personal

Went to the wedding for one of our Lighthouse founders, Shane!

Then did a retreat with my friend, plus founder, Channing to In Her Element.

We saw farm animals, got a massage, did yoga, relaxed, and brought home some farm fresh eggs! Amy Green, founder of Mamaya, started this on her farm just recently and I was honored to be one of the first women to experience it! Highly recommend doing it for a reset (:

to the moon,
