Hi Everyone, Today, I am launching the Gescheit & Partners Equity Program. This is a new advisor and NED program. Over the years I have advised and mentored over 200 startups, coached CEOs and built 4 startups in industries from Enterprise software to climate tech. I also built the Corporate Venturing Units for two of the largest energy corporations in the world. As part of the portfolio, I am working with startups and founders in two ways. As a NED and Board Advisor and spends up to 1 day per month working on strategy, fundraising, product, GTM etc. or working as Venture Advisor where I have an ad-hoc advisory relationship with the company. The program is agnostic in stage, industry and geography. Some of the existing portfolio are high growth startups in the AI, bio, climate and even sports tech industries. If you know any startup that would be a good fit, please share this link with them and encourage them to apply. Applications are reviewed within a week, and then there’s an introduction call with the founders. If you are a VC, and interested in partnership with your VC portfolio, please reach out independently. I would like to learn if startup founders who are interested would use this program to scale, fundraise, learn how to build their boards etc. Link to the Gescheit & Partners Equity Program (GPEP): https://www.illaigescheit.com/equity-program Thanks! Illai.

Cool idea! If you're looking for an AI tool to help create educational content for your platform, check out Scribe AI. It uses GPT-4 to generate lessons, quizzes, and learning activities tailored to any subject. Could be a big timesaver launching your startup!

That sounds awesome! I recently came across a site called Capbase that helps startups set up equity programs. Might be worth checking out to see if they have any helpful resources for you. Best of luck with the launch! 🚀
