🚨 IF YOU ARE AT ATX STARTUP WEEK - we need your help! *Tag + share if this is you or if you know someone who's here* 🍻 if you walked up to myself, Garrett Evans, Anya Evans at happy hours 👂🏽 if you overheard from someone else 🚽 or you overheard people raving in the bathroom at Orrick Tech to Garrett, or you were the one who came out of the stall to hear more about how much they loved 2.0's workshop or how bummed you were to miss out, *SHARE THIS* and help us find all of those people! DM me your email so I can include you in today's drop - Austin Startup Week + Capital Factory peeps get first dibs. ⮑ What's going on? This week, we debuted The 2.0 Collective to Austin - our newest 2.0 hub. We kicked off Tuesday's Future of Work track with our talk: Soulmate or Situationship - Career Advancement in Startups. We did things differently, like we always do. Instead of a traditional lecture, we did a workshop (that we forewarned might trigger an existential crisis but in a good way lol). And instead of a traditional panel, we flipped it into the audience coming up to ask the Collective questions and rotating out to give others a chance to share their experiences. Over 200 people signed up but not all made it in. It turns out that people have been raving about it even days later and it has spread like wildfire. So much so, 3 people approached our COO Garrett in the bathroom at last night's event asking to be on the list for the next ... which then had everyone in the unisex stalls come out and go "wait, what is this?! add me too!" We had no clue how much we connected with y'all. And we're so grateful. So, we need your help getting to all of the people that couldn't find us. There are so many ambitious humans out there who deserve to be heard and be deliberate with their careers. We're here and we're f#!%ing ready to help you say F U to imposter syndrome ⚡️ P.S. if you want to share on IG, come screenshot my story @lynnhueluong. #austinstartupweek #atxstartupweek

Maurice O'Brien and I launched Flexa with Tim Leppard in February 2020. When we started the business, we saw an huge opportunity to make it easy to discover companies based on "how" they work, rather than the soul destroying process of scrolling through job descriptions that leave you clueless about what it's really like to work somewhere. Fast forward to 2023 and Flexa is used by literally millions of people all over the world and hundreds of companies 🔥 When we started out, this kind of growth was beyond imaginable. But goalposts always change, and we want Flexa to be even bigger and even better 👀 We're on a mission to bring transparency to the global hiring market for tens of millions of people. And for every flexible company to be on Flexa. A lot can change in three years, so here's to the next three 🥂 #flexibleworking #futureofwork #startups

We're continuously working on exciting updates and improvements to make our platform even more efficient and user-friendly.

🚀 The biggest challenge faced by non-specialized acceleration programmes? Maintaining relevance while supporting a diverse range of startups. 🏆 Over the years, successful programmes attract startups from various verticals and sectors. 🗣️ However, a one-size-fits-all approach cannot be applied as the focus and challenges differ greatly across these startups. This demands a high degree of flexibility from the programme.🎯 Short example💡: During our last cohort, Roldan Descamps from Mekanika told the BEyond Belgium team: “I’m surrounded by mentors, but we need to put strong HR policies in place. Could you find me someone to help us with this?” So, we proposed to pair Roldan with Reggy-Charles Degen. 👥 Who's Reggy-Charles? Reggy, as we know him, is not the usual mentor and has an amazing track record. He scaled the human resources of Mobistar and served as the VP HR of a global group of 12k people. 🌐 Quite the expert/mentor needed for Mekanika's goals regarding HR. Applications to BEyond are open until August 15th, if you're interested in joining our next cohort, or if you know a company that could benefit from BEyond. Romain Degen Emmanuelle Ghislain

Hot take: Connectors > Gatekeepers 🌶 We recently held a townhall at NewCampus with people leaders around Southeast Asia, to look back at 2023 and look forward to 2024. What’s interesting is that everyone seems to be pretty much on the same page. 1. We all face similar challenges, but you know what's refreshing? Despite the hurdles, there's this undeniable sense of optimism in everyone’s discussion. 2. It's comforting to hear these challenges echoed by familiar faces from different industries. It's a reminder that we're not alone in this journey. Instead of dwelling on the obstacles, we decided to tap into our network of founders in the EduTech and HRtech space. This year, we welcomed a couple of companies into our ecosystem, to connect them with our existing community. Connecting companies we trust with people we love. 🌳 It’s about collaboration 🌳 Big thanks to everyone who showed up, shared your insights, and contributed to the conversation! #EdTech #HRTech #startups
