Happy Saturday to the 4k+ readers of the Collab!

If you are a Seed to Series A/B Founder or GTM Leader (or those that collaborate with them), this newsletter is written for you.

Here’s today’s 1 Big Idea, 2 LinkedIn Posts, 3 Tools to try.

Let’s dive in.

Last week I announced that I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new (side hustle) position as Evangelist at Sidebar!

There are a lot of communities, but Sidebar has built something that hits differently from anything I've built or seen in the space.

The team and community are the smartest (and kindest) in the space. They've built the biggest companies and solved some of the hardest challenges in tech.

Out of seemingly 100k communities, why is Sidebar needed?

Because I personally don't have any professional groups that act as my own board of directors and hold me accountable to my goals.

I need this; and I couldn't find it. I know I'm not the only one.

Here's why they're unique:

Sidebar helps you build your own 'Personal board of directors' with:

1. Matching / Quality of Matching for micro-groups: by years of experience, stage of company, leader scope (to do matching) AI + human driven. High density of tech leaders.

2. Programming: help deal with day to day problems at their job that are tricky and hard through 3-year structured programs. Every 2-weeks you know exactly what you’re going to work on. Set annual goals and have programming to support them.

It's the difference between a gym and personal trainer. Focused on driving impact (and measuring it).

3. Facilitation: world class facilitators -  extensive learning and development backgrounds. The goal of facilitation is to hold space to deliver value. Everyone helps one another.

4. Accountability: holding you accountable to your goals.

I am so amped to level myself up. I'd love to find others who want to join me.
