Network News: The 9others Summer (and book) Party
Your success requires the aid of others
Party, Party…
We properly launched our book, “Find your 9others”, in London last week and had a Summer Party to celebrate.
The book is all about the lessons we’ve learned over the first 10 years of 9others and shares the questions you need to ask yourself as you startup and scale up. Our aims in writing the book were to get these lessons out of our heads, get them down on paper and then shared amongst the 9others community and beyond.
We’ve really missed having our 9others Summer and Winter Parties through Covid so what better way to get the first copies of ‘Find your 9others’ in people’s hands hosting a Summer Party?
Great people
Thank you to everyone who came along — friends old & new, people from overseas and a few who were even at the very first meal with 9others back in December 2011.
It was just wonderful to talk to:
A serial entrepreneur we first met in 2011 who was thinking up their next idea… Well, rather than thinking what the idea should be they were discussing which customers & suppliers would be the best, most enjoyable people to serve & work with.
A founder from a 2022 dinner who told us that based on the tips & insights given at 9others their engagement rocketed from 30% to over 90%.
A founder from a 2021 dinner telling us that another 9others attendee at that dinner offered investment in their startup (which they happily accepted!).
Great place, great food, great drinks
Thanks to Aspire (Katie’s office) for hosting us — more on their work with entrepreneurs and larger organisations here.
We got the amazing food from 9kitchens and the AF drinks from Only With Love so please check them out and send more business their way!
And thanks to Robbie Dale for the Q&A at the party and for helping us shape the book and get it from our Google Doc into people’s hands. This is the same Robbie who did the 9others podcast, here, so if you ever want someone to bounce around creative ideas with then get in touch.
