Last week I met with Adam Park, COO of Beyond 12.
No less than 6 lessons learned from my very enjoyable meeting with Adam:
- Most high school alumni are interested in their alma mater in spurts (reunions, football games, etc). This should be understood when developing tools for kickstart fundraising campaigns and mentoring programs for alumni networks.
- Read Art of the Start to improve how you pitch.
- Early-stage market sizing is part art, part science. Probably more art.
- Don’t force alumni to search for what they are looking for. Give it to them.
- “Imagine ______ for ______” is a quick, powerful pitch for your startup.
- Don’t over-analyze what you do. Out of early progress, a framework and direction will appear.
