📖 Learning Together

New week, new insights!

Here are some pieces shared recently by our community in RnD Ventures' discord channels:

  • The $0 Growth Hack Most Founders Ignore: How equity advisors can function as a 1:many GTM channel; opening doors, lending credibility, and accelerating early traction when brand and trust are still missing.
  • Growth vs. Profit in Venture Builders: A sharp framework explaining why venture builders fail when they mix incompatible strategies, and how choosing between blitzscaling and endurance shapes hiring, boards, capital, and outcomes.
  • From idea to influence: 9 LinkedIn post types every B2B founder can use to grow visibility and drive leads.

✨ Building The Future of Collaboration

  • This is more than a daydream; it's the future we're building at RnDAO. Imagine a world where you can mix and match the tools you need, collaborating freely without friction.
  • Learn more about our vision for the future of work, and how you can become part of this industry evolution.

💡 Updates from Our Ventures

Harmonica

As 2025 comes to a close, Harmonic has published its one-year recap, covering deliberative experiments, facilitation services, research partnerships, and the launch of Harmonica Pro.
Read the recap here.

FairAI

FairAI’s door-to-door outreach has already begun to show early signs of traction, resulting in an interested lead and a follow-up conversation being scheduled. This early outcome provides practical confirmation that direct, in-person engagement can open doors and create meaningful opportunities when executed thoughtfully.

Based on this progress, the team plans to continue leaning into door-to-door outreach as a core channel while increasing the number of companies engaged. As volume rises, they will remain focused on learning from each interaction and steadily refining their approach to drive more consistent results.

Have suggestions for connecting with potential customers? Reach out to FairAI; they value and appreciate your insights.
