September Update: Kyco, Mentoring for Catalysr and Josari

By the time this post is published Kyco would have been at its new home in Plumridge House for over a week and what a week it has been! You can really tell that we are hurtling toward “Go Live” on the 1st of November.

I am glad we are no longer homeless vagabonds, borrowing boardrooms and spare offices from our partners. We have needed an office for some time now but we had some false starts and had to shift last minute. But having experienced Plumridge House before with Birnam Wood, I can honestly say that we are in good professional hands and can now settle in, put our head down and do work.

As I said, "Go Live” for Kyco is on the 1st of November. So watch this space for updates!

While I do my part for the Kyco “Go Live”, I am also volunteering as a mentor for Catalysr’s Accelerator. The first mentoring session was on the 15th of September. There were some familiar faces among the founders as some were graduates of the Catalysr Pre-Accelerator, including Kalvitree, which was in the cohort I was leading as 1 of 2 chapter leads. Also, since the pre-accelerator, I have joined the Kalvitree advisory panel. So here’s hoping Kalvitree has a successful accelerator journey.

Lastly, unfortunately, Josari’s paid marketing campaign has not had the traction that we wanted on Facebook and Paul has asked the marketing agency to switch focus to LinkedIn. I hope it performs better on LinkedIn. We have some great advisors ready to go, I think they can add some great value to small businesses and startups everywhere!
