BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 👀… 

I remember when ChatGPT 3 was released, it felt like a significant technology moment…

While experimenting, I started to consider how the work I was doing would change; the second order impacts. What happens in a world where we get to the answer, the product or service, instantly? 

Where the gatekeeper is a new form of intelligence we don’t yet fully understand…

I shared my thoughts on LinkedIn, thinking out loud about what I believe to be a new world, a new world of discovery, how it could influence business, how it was going to affect marketing, and how skills and value in marketing would change.

So when James, Paul, Simon and I launched cocreatd 18 months ago, we were really keen to get involved in the new era of search and discovery at some point….

Then last summer we met the amazing Francesca Brookes.

We started to discuss the search industry, and beyond some insightful and thoughtful takes - it was the sheer excitement and optimism for what comes next. Her understanding that change is a massive opportunity - and now was a moment to capture, not sit by idle.

Soooo we decided to co-create a new company together… 4 months of experiments, quiet testing, working with some institutions and technology companies, we landed on a thesis, developed our offer, augmented our methods with technology, and we’re now ready to go public! 

Discovrd - the AI search and intelligence agency.

If you’re interested in speaking with us, we’re offering a FREE mini audit for your company, either leave a comment with your website link, or send me a DM. 

(Also got to give our folk their flowers… Exceptional work from Perspectiv on website (in the comments) and NineSixteen Studios on the launch video 🤌)

I've raised tens of millions and pitched hundreds of times - and despite all that experience, it's always bloody HARD!

That's why I partnered with Notion to help launch their AI Founder's Kit.

It's a FREE pack for founders.

You get:

• $300 Supabase Credit
• $60 Vercel Credit
• 1 Year Framer launch 
• Upto 6 months of Notion Business with AI to run your startup from one place

Even more valuable (in my opinion):

• A vetted list of 30,000+ investors, incubators, and accelerators 
• 50 pitch decks from YC, a16z, and Sequoia-backed startups 
• Guides on pitching and fundraising from founders who've been successful

If you're a founder, building a business, or ever plan to raise money, this is for you!

Leave me a comment with the word "NOTION" and I'll DM you #AD

WANT TO START A COMPANY? 👀

cocreatd and Foundrs are hosting a FREE LUNCH SESSION to help at Oneder in Shoreditch London; 22nd January….

Starting a business is filled with unknowns. Its intimidating. It can be confusing. 

But despite that, I truly believe that there is no better time to start than today!

So if you’re someone who wants to demystify starting and building we’ll be discussing:

1 - business admin: how to set up correctly.

2 - investment: how to pitch and access funding. 

3 - technology: how to use AI and automation to do more with less.

4 - tell alls: (possibly the most valuable part) our personal business building horror stories so you can avoid! 

I’ll be joined by two of the founders we work with:

Callum Sommerton, co-founder of Foundrs, former Mishcon de Reya LLP lawyer and youngest appointed CEO of a London PLC.

Daniel B., founder or Meet-Ting and former Global Head of Social at TikTok and global director at adidas.

If you’re interested in attending, DM me or leave me a comment and I’ll share you link to sign up 🫶

CONFESSION: I've not been active on LinkedIn for two reasons:

1 - Priorities... focused on other things.

2 - Inspiration... like most people, I've grown jaded with the formulaic, news aggregation and AI slop that fills our feeds… there's no shortage of content, but there's certainly a shortage of original thoughts or daring commentary that provokes…

Sooo I made a decision: if I'm going to contribute anything online, I'll try my best make it meaningful, or at the very least, useful!

I've been building startups for 10+ years now. Exits, IPO’s, failures the ever growing list and THIS MOMENT feels different… the tools, the speed, the rules, the possibilities, all changed…

And of course we’re all just figuring it out, but I believe this would be a nice challenge for me to take on, when it comes to what I share - so I’m going to try and get some level of consistency writing longer form.

Writing helps me crystallise sporadic thoughts and experiences into something useful… so what I'm working through may resonate with others…

I'm calling my newsletter Day Zero. It's about building companies in the age of AI. 

I wrote my first piece, which sets the scene: the irony of building a business today. Have a read, if you like it, pls sign up and share your thoughts!

There's a poetic irony to the world we live in. Technology has made it easier than ever to start a business. You don't need the resources you once did
