Hightlights & Wins 🙌
- Negotiations for management agreements with real estate players are on-going to launch our next house.
- We have built a strong team of mentors to help guide our growth.
- We became super clear on our business model and the biggest opportunities we are laying on after interviewing ex-early and key executives of WeWork: Asset light, no lease, management agreements, then franchise, then when software ready enough we scale to B2B SaaS for 1) coliving facility management module, 2) Community building and engagement module. Now we need to become clearer on who is leading our product as I have been doing it and we have a tech team, but needs for a proper product manager became essential.
