When we first started to dive into why mentorship felt so inaccessible, we quickly learned that companies & universities were all attempting to run mentorship programs solely on spreadsheets.
It's time to ditch the spreadsheets (and headache).
It's time to get Dreami.
Congratulations to the 2024 #MilkenPennGSE Education Business Plan Competition semifinalists! These impressive ventures are addressing critical challenges in global literacy, student mental health, AI-driven tutoring, and so much more: https://t.co/O3iDwbCp8g
So, my team has started to highlight key testimonials weekly to help us keep close to our "why" and that the long weeks and endless to-do lists have been doing something pretty amazing in people's lives.
#Startup#Careers#mentorship
I remember learning early on in Techstars about the difference between "working in the business" and "working on the business", and it was very clear to me that at the time, I was definitely in the first bucket.
It's already been about 2.5 years since I've founded my startup, Dreami! And to be honest, there have been a few times over the last few years where I doubted if all of the hard work was making any "real" impact.
Even if you've introduced yourself and your company's mission on 6 back-to-back Zoom calls during the day, you still can feel distant from the impact and lose sight of how much progress you've actually made.
Sometimes, when you're in the weeds of the JIRA tickets, bills, invoicing, business taxes, feature requests, etc, you can lost sight of what all the hours, days and weeks are going towards.

Thank you to the @FearlessFund for allowing us to take the main stage and share our vision to power life-changing workforce development programs. 1,000 applications, and we were 1 out of 8 startups selected!
The support afterwards proved to us how critical our work is.

This is the life changing work we are powering through @JoinDreami -- finding a mentor shouldn't feel as difficult as it is.
Increasing your social capital = increasing the surface area of luck
#mentorship
“Find a great mentor” will always be my number one suggestion to ANY founder just starting out.
My life would be significantly different without people like @joshkerr & @iamamoslee.
Two of maybe 10 mentors of mine whose words and actions literally changed the whole trajectory of my career.
It's exactly why we created Dreami--to power and scale critical career programs, while building capacity and increasing visibility/metrics to retain and attract grant funding.
Dreami makes your work dreamy.
#nonprofit#Socialimpact#startups
We've interviewed over 200 nonprofits, universities and workforce development leaders--it's clear there is desperate need for capacity.
Easy, simple and scalable tech is the answer.
If there’s one thing I wish I had earlier and want to share in every way possible, it’s MENTORSHIP.

Last week, we hosted our first in-person team offsite in Napa, CA. From building Dreami as a side passion project, to finally believing this could become something much bigger to growing a distributed team, this was a big moment for us.
#startup#offsite
The journey has been far from smooth and easy, but the tenacity, creativity, empathy, passion, intelligence and the "we'll just figure it out" attitude of the team is what keeps us going.
