“You need to build a repeatable sales process” might be the most hand-wavy advice in startups. Cool. But HOW? When your first 10 deals all closed differently -- through warm intros, random inbounds, and pure founder-led sales hustle -- where do you even start?. That's exactly

Pumped to join the @AllRaise board. I've always admired their community-driven approach, so glad to be a part of it more formally. I'm a big believer that it takes a village. Too many people to name here have helped me navigate my own weird, winding path from growing up in the.
