June turned out to be a particularly active month of new networking for me. A sincere thanks to everyone in my network - new and old! - and to all the subscribers of this newsletter. IMHO, everything is about relationships. I'm happy to share this with everyone and especially with younger #startups #founders and #entrepreneurs as a way of creating and strengthening relationships. To my fellow grizzled veterans, anything to add? What networking strategies are you using? What advice would you like to share? As always, if you find this or any Conscientious Capitalist article interesting, please share it with your networks. Thanks! #networking #relationships #angels #angelinvestors #VCs #incubators #professionalgroups

Catalyst @ Penn GSE Summit was an incredible day. “AI is going to free up teachers’ and counselors' space so they can be attuned to the relationships, which we know are fundamental to education.” Dean Katharine Strunk “You have to be intentional about what underlying research you are bringing to your venture,” John Gamba said. “It has to be research-based from the beginning. It has to be outcome-based." Reflecting on the summit, Michael Golden said “we have already heard from entrepreneurs who are planning to modify their solutions based on what they learned, so they can maximize their impact for students and educators. We can’t think of a more immediate or direct outcome of our program than that.” https://lnkd.in/g8_nakDN #AI #AIinEducation #edtech #entrepreneurs #education #k12 #highered #workforcedevelopment #research #startups

This is for you no matter where you are in your business journey to serve the education markets. It simply was one of the very best ed-related events I've ever attended. #edtech #edtechstartups #edtechentrepreneurs #edtechfounders

When it comes to #prospecting and #coldcalling as a #b2b or #edtech #startup, it's important to research your prospect before reaching out. My advice is to save the "personal connection" for after you've earned their trust and confidence, not as your opener. #salesstrategy #salesprocess #salestips #rainmaker
