Hello, fam 👋🏾

At the end of last week, I [announced that I will be sharing weekly updates](https://eniola.mirror.xyz/Zmaex0_gaBDkVSIxAtYAXvQfjanUHqMEzsNchYdGRqY) regarding my progress with Prism Labs. These sorts of updates were trialled internally between myself and [Damian](https://www.linkedin.com/in/damianroutley/) in Founders Factory, so I am going to follow a similar structure.

**What happened this week? (Product, Fundraising and Hiring)**

*   50+ applicants for tech lead role → ~20 first stage interviews conducted.
    
*   Sat down with [David](https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-hickson-70a540b/) to begin the process of getting Prism Labs investor ready (target date set for opening of seed round).
    
*   Attended a private dinner hosted by [Black Seed VC](https://blackseed.ventures/).
    
*   Talked web3 and content creation with [Simon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-lovick-a10312169/) (for both Prism Labs and the Factory).
    
*   Briefed my squad about my progress and asks in our fortnightly update.
    
*   Scope for MVP is finalised and is in development.
    

**What’s next?**

*   My first _“board meeting”._
    
*   Continuing with the process to get investor ready.
    
*   The start of the second round of interviews.
    
*   Refining strategy for private MVP launch.
    

**How can you help?**

*   Intros to companies or talent who may be a good fit for our product.
    
*   The product isn’t ready yet but would love it if you could sign up for our waitlist or subscribe to this to receive product updates.
    

**How can I help you?**

*   Happy to brainstorm ideas or have a coffee with founders that are interested in web3 either from a personal or business standpoint.
    
*   Can make intros to funds, founders, talent and senior stakeholders with a focus on web3 or diversity and inclusion.
