We're starting free in-person workshops...cause we all gotta level up! We're calling it "Startup School".

The main topic of this workshop is... "How to Get Your First Customers".

Our 2 speakers are Pat Cheung and Andreeas Trattner, and they'll share their journey on getting their first customers.

Pat Cheung is the founder of Fanlist. He'll share details on how he landed his first 50 customers through a tradeshow. He'll walk through all the tactics he used to sponsor a tradeshow booth, what went well, what didn't, and how he did it on a budget...with a full breakdown of costs.

Andreeas Trattner is the founder of reachtools. Andreeas will speak on his journey in acquiring initial users as a bootstrapper. He will cover leveraging his network, utilizing Google Ads, and his strategy for creating a direct mail campaign in 2024, as well as the limitations of these approaches.

Space is limited...so RSVP's are required! Optional group lunch at nearby food carts after the meetup!
