👀 Spot the new Earlywork Associate Instructor We’re super excited to have the amazing Claudia Dalla Palma on our learning team! Claudia and Reuben George have been smashing it out of the park with our July cohort 🧡 We first met Claudia through the Archangel Ventures x Earlywork Academy Women's scholarship earlier this year. Since graduating from the Academy, Claudia landed a new role as an SDR at Attentive and is now one of their top-performing reps! 🙌 We love a full-circle moment 🧡 Check out our case study on Claudia's journey in the comments 👇

Raising pre-product, pre-seed. Is it worth doing? I mean, even raising pre-revenue is a serious challenge in this climate. Right? It’s no question I got a lot of mixed advice early. So, instead of a meeting, pitch, or a deck, I decided I’d just send the demo of what we’re building at PREVE around to a few smart cookies. And opinions changed… quickly. It was a video with my co-founder Caelum, a well loved physiotherapist, tapping through our prototype and perfectly narrating the workflow -- the PREVE story — how we’ll improve patient clinical outcomes, quality of life and healthspan through automation and AI. How we’ll help clinics do a better job. How we'll reinvent physiotherapy. It only took him 11 takes to shoot the video… (Sorry, Cal!) but it was brilliant. Suddenly, and I guess accidentally, we were raising money. That was a few months back. And now I can excitedly say that we have officially raised $550k pre-product, pre-seed — on a modest and fair valuation. Worth doing. Our cap table is PUMPED 💪 with incredible people who have already had a major influence on the business, and to Cal and I. Needless to say that we’re super energised for the journey ahead. Helps that we already have some more incredible news to share in the next couple of weeks... 🎉 Caelum Trott (lol we're not even connected on Linkedin) Archangel Ventures, Justin Lipman, Alexey Mitko, Charlie Gearside, Henry Innis, 🤖 Yaniv Bernstein, David Solsky, Tim Dettmann, 😱 Rayn Ong, Ben Armstrong, David Mastroianni, Andrew Gallagher, Sam Featherstone, Katja Vella.

3 years ago, we launched the largest early-career tech community in Australia Today, we're launching Australia's first dedicated community for junior tech sales reps 🚀 Earlywork Sales Club initially started 3 months ago as a support network for the graduates from our tech sales school starting off as SDRs We wanted to foster an intimate community designed around the core craft of the role, something we wish we had when starting our careers in tech 3 months in, our club has over 100 members, with: 🎓 Learning events every fortnight from sales reps & leaders at companies like Salesforce, HubSpot, Deel, Workday & Zendesk 🤝 A network of 30 industry mentors including experienced Sales Development Representatives (SDRs), Account Executives & Sales Managers 🫂 A private digital community where reps trade tips and questions 📚 A dedicated library of custom templates & guides to navigate the SDR role But along the way, we kept on meeting folks outside our Academy who had started tech sales careers and struggled with the same core problems even more than our graduates… 1. A weak connection with sales peers going through similar challenges 2. Limited reference points for good sales techniques and process outside their company 3. Murky progression pathways to Account Executive & other sales roles We realised there was a huge opportunity to help ambitious tech sales reps across Australia by bringing them together, regardless of how they got started Taking the lessons we've learned from growing the Earlywork Village, we’re launching applications for existing Aussie tech sales reps to join Australia’s first dedicated community for early-career tech sales talent... for free! If you’re an SDR/BDR in tech who’s hungry to improve your performance & grow in your career, apply for Sales Club via the link in comments 🔗 Our first external cohort of club members will be kicking off later this month, and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so get in quick! Got a mate, co-worker or employee who’s recently started their tech sales journey? Do 'em a favour and tag them to let them know there's a free community to help them out :) #sdr #bdr #sales

https://lnkd.in/eNsrHauU We are excited to announce, for the first time, the InvestorHub quarterly update. It is a beast of an update featuring new product features, service additions, and data & insights to help public companies deliver a best-practice investor experience and own their investor relationships. Some highlights include: 📈 We sailed past 100 active companies using the product, all listed on the ASX and LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) exchanges. 💎 We released a brand new update to interactive investor hubs. Now public companies can replace their investor centre (or in some cases, their entire website) with our new and improved interactive investor hub. 💾 It is easier than ever to track the impact of newsflow and market communications on shareholder engagement via UTM link tracking. ✉ Compliance is now a breeze with automated investor email logging into your investor CRM. 🤖 Our first AI features have arrived via automated announcement summaries. 🧠 Our CoPilot service is more impactful than ever with strategic monthly business reviews and advanced registry analysis services. 💹 We identified the mid register, the segment of ~24% of shareholders in your registry that is responsible for approximately 49% of total trading volume.
