AMA December 2022
The In Residence CxOs answer your questions live and uncensored each month (on the 2nd Wednesday) for 2023
Our new in Residence CxO team convened as a panel this week for the occasion of the first AMA (Ask Me Anything) session. We wanted to get one of these in before the New Year to establish the format and debug our approach before the series starts its new schedule in January.
These new additions to our monthly calendar will be held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, and give a chance for anyone in the community to pose a question or challenge to the panel. We will answer what we can in the moment and follow up with specifics afterwards. The sessions are live streamed, enabling everyone in the community to gain from the knowledge shared.
We’re doing this to help Founders to solve problems and execute faster. We’re doing this to support others in the community. We’re doing this to help. We have no idea, or expectation of, what the questions are going to be. Sending them over in advance is helpful to let us prepare a little but part of the joy of the sessions is just how varied the questions can be and how spontaneously we have to pull things together. (It’s sometimes referred to as a “Forest Gump moment”. You never quite know what you’re gonna get)
This month the key questions from the Live audience that sparked our discussions were
How to navigate a mid career pivot
What new entrepreneurs should study at university
How to get a job in the current economic climate.
Amazing contributions from the team and it was great to see how the dialogue built up, and also how the team rounded out the discussions from different view points and positions.
There were also a great list of advance questions, which will be answered directly with those that brought them forward. Questions like “How do I find a co-founder” and “How to calculate a TAM, SAM, SOM”. We didn’t get time for these in the 1 hour session, so separate individual sessions will be set up and useful info sent to the contributors by email / loom etc.
The full list of the panel is kept here https://linktr.ee/canopy_inresidence and this also provides an opportunity for anyone in the community to book a session with any of the CxO team using the Calendly links provided. These sessions are free of charge and there to help you with whatever Founder challenges you face.
If what you want to discuss is a bit bigger, and you want to go on an extended journey with support from any of the team then pick out a MEMBERSHIP OPTION FROM HERE and we can bring in the ones that can help you with your goal and build an approach to help you.
These are month by month options that you can stop at any point - if the goal is achieved, or as your budget allows.
The In Residence team includes: Biraj, Jana, Rachel, Tijana, Pedro, Tomas, Aline, Stewart, Chuck, Helga, Bob, Nic
Amazing people who have committed to the next 12 months of providing their time to the service of the community as In Residence CxOs. Please do make use of them and their experience over this next year to make 2023 the best startup success it can be.
