Love the reports and the love the community. A really welcoming, thoughtful and helpful group and Dru is a great host. The reports are great, easy to read, informative, peppered with insights from industry leaders and varied in subjects that keep let me go deep on my interests and stay informed about the things happening outside of them.
Matchmaking as a trend in recent years, for:
- dating
- services and clientsβwork or advice
- founders and advisors/investors
Shows that inspite of our outreach tech, social media, emailsβfinding the right person is so important. Also shows that people make products, not idea or tech or funds
Congrats to @dru_riley for building an incredible resource for the startup community. Iβve been a subscriber since the early days and highly recommend it.
@aadilrazvi The man behind some of our fav reports like DeFi and Audience-First Products
"there are a few products that i know i will be subscribed to forever. this is one of them."
This means a lot! Thanks Aadil π
Trends is great place to hang out on a daily basis. I spend so much time just reading all the updates by other amazing people in the community. Dru has build a community where people feel safe to share their journey with others. He is one of the most authentic and thoughtful person I have met.
If you want to build a writing habit, get deep insights into emerging markets and interact with creators building cool things, Trends is the place to be!
@prabhjotsl This means a lot Prabhjot! I learn so much from each of our chats. We've started incorporating your suggestions around standups. i.e. Members of the day. We're laying the foundation for more. π
At the end of the day, Trends reports are a cheat sheet for anyone interested in exploring markets that Trends has covered. Trends community is a collection of forward thinkers building consistency habits that help build their projects, businesses, skills (daily standup) and help build confidence partly purely from knowing that they are not in the fight alone as well as wide network of members(trends tribe & masterminds & hives). @dru_riley and the team are very responsive and constantly gauging where the interests and strengths of the community lie and craft that into the reports. So you are certain that the insights are not just from a desktop review, but fueled with the stories and experiences of industry experts and the people walking the path that make up the community (filled with juggernauts figuring it out on all scales from enterprise to entrepreneur to explorer). Frankly, there's too much there to fully make use of everything (straight talk). So its ok to just geek out deep on the topics you care about, and connect with others while you build your standup routine. I've also found that it is a very safe environment to think aloud and get feedback on those seed thoughts and considerations that we all face as we work on our next big thing. And as someone particularly focused on the study of ideas...Trends is significant for me. NPS π―
@gabe__perez Thanks Gabe! Great question.
"What's changed/new since 1.0"
The community didn't exist in 1.0. Beyond a basic forum, we have Weekly Masterminds, Trends Tribe (3 rounds of 1:1 chats on Mondays) and Daily Standups for accountability.
This is where you need to be... keep going @dru_riley πππ who else is simultaneously acknowledging and stunting on the π Haters like Dru??? Audience-First Products report = instant classic
Trends.vc is for entrepreneurs to get valuable information on all aspects of their businesses. It is truly the best place on the web to get ongoing, super-valuable marketing / business expertise and trend insight.
Up to this day I print out the PDF of premium reports, to have my trends.vc collection complete :) I used this data several times at clients' presentations and it saved me dozens of hours.
Thank you @dru_riley for your hard work!
