Friends,

How do you make sure 2023 is your best year ever professionally?

While there’s no single answer to that question, there is a secret superpower you can access: The Generalist community.

Over the past two years, we’ve built a
welcoming home for investors, founders, and operators. CEOs, VC partners, product managers, engineers, and others use The Generalist’s community to increase their social capital, elevate their professional education, and increase the number of opportunities they see.

To get your 2023 started in the best way possible, we’re offering a 20% discount on membership for the next couple of days.

Here are three ways The Generalist community will help you level up in 2023:

1: Build a professional network that’s a competitive advantage

Join a community of peers that includes seasoned and insurgent founders, investors, and operators. You’ll make friends that can sharpen your thinking, and introduce you to new opportunities.

We are proactive in adding valuable people to your network and making sure your time is maximized.

Every month, we offer a curated introductions service that you’re invited to join. You’ll be matched with another member based on background, expertise, and mutual interest. This carefully planned serendipity could be the way you meet your next cofounder, investor, or game-changing hire.

Beyond our monthly introductions, we
also run IRL meetups around the globe and virtual learning sessions. Meet angel investors, crypto friends, and fellow tech obsessives. To get a feel for what this looks like, here’s our event calendar from the last three months:

Make your network a competitive advantage and join today.

2: Get feedback and advice on all things tech, VC, and crypto

We all need people who can help us think things through, whether it’s a business idea, potential investment, or job opening.

The Generalist community is full of tech and investment professionals. There’s a good chance that if you have a question, there’s someone able to answer it. Similarly, if you’re in need of advice, there’s almost certainly someone that can weigh in, leveraging their expertise and perspective.

You can see how other members leverage The Generalist’s community to get feedback, benefit from advice, and improve their thinking:

3: Exclusive access to expert talks

Much of our most important learning happens after we leave school. That’s particularly true in tech given how quickly it changes.

For members that never want to stop learning and improving, we host regular talks with tech’s most interesting and impressive practitioners. It’s an enduring curriculum, designed to help you think better and capitalize on change.

In 2022, we hosted Midas List VCs, entrepreneurs with major exits under their belt, C-Suite executives from massive public companies, and founders of investment firms. Here are two recent events we held:

(By the way, you can watch the recordings of many of these talks in the community!)

We have some incredible speakers lined up for 2023, including experts in AI, e-commerce, crypto, and more. If you'd like to join, make sure you sign up today and take advantage of the 20% discount!

See what others are saying about The Generalist community:

Start the new year right and get to know the people who’ll take your career path to the next level.

Best,
Mario

P.S. This discount expires on January 2, 2023. Make sure to lock in your spot now :)
