Excited for our next speaker, the media maestro and distribution whiz, Seyi Taylor.

seyitaylor.twitter is a seasoned entrepreneur and has previously scaled a media company. He’s also the founder of Snicketts, i.e. programmable coupons for modern retail brands.

Seyi will be talking about all things growth and distribution in his session this week.
It’s Marketing Week in the Accelerator! We’ve uncovered tons of insights on content + distribution, but one theme keeps popping up: Founder Brands! ™️

We really liked @jonwu take! 🔥

“The days of corporate brands being more powerful than founders are fading fast. The downside is people don’t attack the brand anymore, they attack the founder. But as founders, we’ve gotta grow a thick skin, because today’s users wanna hear from you, not just your project."
gm gm, another #Epoch5Spaces happening!

Andddd we’re super excited to share @jonwu is a speaker in our accelerator today. Previously, head of growth @aztecnetwork, Jon has one of the most in-depth understandings of what it takes to build trust, connections, and how to perfect the art of storytelling.

He’s also the founder & GP at asylumventures.twitter investing in the earliest founders in crypto and beyond.
Massive value for our cohort in the Content and GTM session from @tpan today! Enough info to cover weeks of content!

Anyways, a small teaser…

“Distribution is key and one of the most important reasons for repurposing content and cross-posting on different mediums is because we all just learn differently”
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 23 sessions in. 10 left to go. We can’t believe we’re reaching the end of our accelerator program 😭💝😭

It’s been one of the most intense experiences we’ve undertaken but it’s been so so worth it. Our cohort has been heads down in founder mode (pitching, testing, growing). 📈📈📈

To celebrate this big milestone, we’re inviting you to our Demo Day.

Hear from these incredible builders, get an in-depth understanding of their growth and journey. We’ve got all that ++ a major surprise planned for that day.

We’ve matched + donated over 1145 ETH in public goods funding, and now you can take a deep dive into that data + it’s never looked so good! 📊 ✨ 🤩
Accelerator Cohort experienced an amazing session from @emilyxlai (Twitter) who dropped endless nuggets like this:

"You have to think strategically and one of the most important thing is to get your positioning super clear. Why do you deserve to exist? Who are you? What are you doing? Why are you building what you're building?"

Thank you Emily, it was a real pleasure to have you.

sunny Sunday gm gm!
If you’ve been at one of our bLock parties or town halls, you can imagine the session our cohort just had with @vpabundance.eth! Here’s a nugget as u head off to touch some grass

"A good strategy is more than a bunch of goals or a vision. Even though they are very important, if you do not have this framework to create tangible, concrete actions, you're going to find you have gaps and you're going to find that the things you are ultimately trying to cultivate are not happening. I cannot stress the importance of this framework enough"
Not gonna name names, but someone (cough @jonruth) had so much fun with the @climatenetwork's last meme /jokerace, he fired up another! 🤣 Some rly hilarious entries of @mashal Octant nurdle out in the wild.
