Recent win: We heard last week from Next Play community member Laura who “just landed a role as the Head of Marketing at an AI startup called Impressive. I found Yashar (the CEO) via the newsletter, which helped me secure a job offer.” Love hearing stories like this, and would love to keep hearing more :). Reach out hi@nextplay.so if there’s more we can be doing to be helpful.
Co-founders and people to jam with: Georgia is a Harvard MS/MBA student and exited founder (featured 3x as Apple’s App of the Day) looking for a collaborator to join her in a week-long startup/customer discovery intensive at Harvard Business School this January. She’s excited about women’s health, hospitality, and wellness, but open to many emerging tech ideas. Reach out: georgiamessinger@gmail.com. Michael has previously been a founding engineer for the past 10+ years working in startups. He’s looking to work on AI projects that go beyond the personal chat interface, and chat with people about cofounding a consumer AI company. Reach out: bartucca.m@gmail.com. Garrett is a growth operator who previously co-founded Galaxy, where he built a 3.5K+ waitlist with an SEO engine driving 3M impressions and 15K+ clicks per month. He was also previously the first business hire at Unify where he generated $15M+ pipeline and helped scale the team from 9 to 60+ after VC and banking stints. He’s looking for a cofounder to build an ambitious B2B product (ideally someone technical). Reach out: garrettWolfe.work@gmail.com.
