And You're in!

Welcome to The Open Letter Pro.

You have joined a community of SA's top startup founders and builders. Below you will find all the info you need to get cracking.

But don't worry if you miss anything, we will also email you all the details.

LET'S BUILD TOGETHER

One of our consistent observations working with 100+ founders over the last few years was the problem of not knowing what you don't know. This poses massive risk not only for founder's, but any person working in business!

We believe this can be solved through two primary means:

- Exposure to more startups, their strategies and how they work
- A community of like-minded people that build and learn together.

Our combination of exclusive content (for The Open Letter Pro subscribers only) together with office hours, events and a community chat is everything you need to start uncovering those unknowns and getting better at building your business, your side-hustle or at your work.
