A trusted network is something no entrepreneur should be without

Thank you Danielle

We first crossed paths with Danielle Newnham back in the early days of our startup journey (we’re probably talking pre-9others here), and it was on Twitter, of all places, that we first connected.

Over time, we came to know Danielle not just as an author and podcaster, but as a true champion of early-stage founders and technology businesses.

And let me tell you: if you ever get a chance to listen to Danielle interview someone; whether it’s on her podcast (here) or at a live event (like ID8 at Kindred, above) you’ll quickly realise she’s one of the best interviewers out there1.

Over the years Danielle has been incredibly supportive of 9others. When we’ve faced challenges, she’s been there to talk things through and offer her perspective. And now she’s gone a step further by offering a lovely testimonial for our book.

So here’s to Danielle, and to all the folks like her who make the entrepreneurial journey richer and more meaningful.

Thank you, Danielle, for being part of our story.

Here’s what Danielle had to say…

“I think the book is an INCREDIBLE resource for founders.
“An invaluable book to help you grow your business from people who have founded, networked and invested in this space for many years.
“Matthew and Katie have a lot of experience from years in their careers and hosting 9others meals with founders all over the world and they have distilled these lessons, as well as important questions for you to ask yourself as you start and scale up your business.
“Highly recommended!”
