• these challenges were Zaynah’s favourite part of TKS!
• use www.crunchbase.com to find companies in the fields that you’re looking for
• who to talk to: partner companies, competitors, ppl who’ve used the app, ppl who haven’t, etc.

<aside> ⏳ Timeline:

</aside>

• 1st week: research
• 2nd week: ramp up research and reach out to people
• 3rd week: think of a solution
  • last 2 days: start the slide deck
  • they typically don’t sleep for the last 2 days (you can choose what you want to do with this information)
  • when you actually start making the deck and see everything flowing together, your brain will typically come up with more ideas

Apparently Zaynah’s very first slide deck wasn’t the greatest :/

<aside> 🙅‍♀️ Here’s what they did wrong:

</aside>

• just looked at it
• didn’t talk to anyone
• finished everything in 2-3 days

^^ it’s okay if your first slide deck isn’t majestically wonderful, they will get better, but still, have high expectations!

Zaynah preferred emails over LinkedIn but both work

<aside> 📧 In your emails:

</aside>

• talk about your objective
• ask to schedule a call
