People Before Ideas: Afore Open 🥒🎾🏓
Please join us to celebrate the soft launch of People Before Ideas, Afore's Founders-in-Residence program: afore.vc/residence ... with some friendly pickleball competition!
what are we celebrating 🏆
at Afore we obsess over People before Ideas. Our 2-month Founders-in-Residence, run 3x a year in Feb, Jun, and Oct is exactly that — a 2-month program designed to help technical builders go from Idea to Traction to Series A at warp speed.
we'll write your first check, and more importantly, help you sign your first 5 design customers and raise the rest of your round at the best terms.
