KP's Column - Closed mouths don’t get fed 🤭
Hey friends, If you know me or were part of any of previous cohorts, you know one of my favorite catchphrases is this: “Closed mouths don’t get fed” Heck, 80% of the world who want to help you can’t help you if you don’t send a nudge or two their way Why? not because they hate you or they are lazy They are just busy.. dealing with their own life and a million other priorities So asking (without expectations) and taking an odd rejection here and there with your chin up is a billion dollar skillset in my view Okay, why am I sharing this deeply out of context philosophical insight today? As you may have guessed it, I do have an ask today. After running 10 cohorts across various companies (On Deck, Day One and my own BIPF), I’m honored to share that I am now in charge of running a brand new global founder community and program at Paddle (a fintech unicorn). This is a bit of a dream role for me as I had plans to do an AI cohort for a long while and now I get to build and shape it within a fast-growing brand like Paddle (which has 4,000+ startups and founders as customers) And today, we’re live on Product Hunt. Here’s the launch page. ASK: Would love your support in the form of an upvote (we need 25 new votes to break into top 10) and/or comments or questions. Comments and questions are a FANTASTIC way to soar higher the leaderboard as PH algorithm loves those (just like Linkedin) Anyway, thanks for your support as always. And if you are building an AI-powered startup, please consider APPLYING. It’s FREE to attend and applications close soon. Once, here’s the PH post where you’ll find more info. PS: In case some of you missed my super entertaining and serendipitous story of “how I landed a dream role at Paddle”, here’s the quick read. Key lesson from that expereince? Same as today’s point: shoot your shot and put your ask in the Universe because.. closed mouths don’t get fed. KP's Column is free today. But if you enjoyed this post, you can tell KP's Column that their writing is valuable by pledging a future subscription. You won't be charged unless they enable payments. |
