Fall In-Person Mastermind Survey I’m planning something special for this fall, and I want your input before I finalize it. If I hosted a 2-day, in-person Mastermind for founders who are serious about securing grants, government contracts, corporate sponsorships, and building institutional capital… What would make it worth paying $1,000 to attend? Be specific. - What topics would you want covered? - What outcomes would you expect to walk away with? - What would make you say, “I would’ve paid 10x for this”? - Would you want live grant reviews, contract matchmaking, AI implementation, networking, VIP hot seats, guest experts, or something else? - What would you expect to leave with in your hands by the end of Day 2? No wrong answers. I’m building this around what would create the most value for our community, not just another event. Drop your thoughts below. The best ideas may make it into the final agenda.
