Hi community!
I’m currently negotiating a contract with Amazon that involves IP licensing.
Anyone who is current/ex-Amazon with knowledge of their contracting process (not necessarily relating to IP specifically), or anyone with IP licensing experience more broadly, please can you message me?
Thank you all!
Alex

Hey everyone!
I’d love to get some support from the community for an upcoming Black History event that I’m running on the 5th October.
For context, I run a beauty booking platform that helps textured hair stylists manage their bookings and make sustainable, long-term wealth from their business (stylists are great creatives, but typically struggle with the ins and outs of running a business). The event will be in the same vein, helping stylists to gain a deeper understanding of business and community building.
We’re looking for headline sponsors at the moment and would love to get connected with
a) Some banks
b) Tech companies like Google, Canva, Adobe, which all have tools that stylists regularly use and play a key role in their business already
If anyone in the community has connections of sorts in these areas, I would love an intro. Also happy to send our events deck to you in advance so you can take a look and give me feedback on how to tweak it, too.

Thanks Ben Legg, I’m in contact with Akshaan.

Thanks @benlegg, somehow, I don’t seem to think of myself as a mentor. At least not to mentor entrepreneurs. I’m not sure my skillset is 100% aligned. But thanks for thinking of me!

My pleasure David Baxter – if you know of others suitable in the Bath area, feel free to let them know about it

Can you help me to shape my writing course?
Hi Everyone
I’m in the process of creating a course that will help portfolio professionals who struggle with the writing side of their job.
The course will help you go from: ‘Staring at a blank screen, not knowing where to start’ to ‘Writing with purpose, clarity and confidence – every time’.
And to help me shape the course content, I’d love to hear about your business writing challenges.
If you’d like to contribute, please answer these six questions by Monday 14 July. You can do it here, or message me directly if you’d prefer to keep things confidential.
1) What types of content do you usually write at work?
2) How do you feel about the writing side of your job?
3) What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to writing content?
4) How do you currently deal with this challenge?
5) Would any of the following be helpful to you? Write ‘yes’ next to the ones that would:
a) a framework…

Hi community! 👋 I’m Maxim, Head of Marketing at Simpler (https://www.simpler.so), we’re building Europe’s fastest, smoothest checkout for e-commerce.
We’re growing fast and need to level up our website to clearly and beautifully explain what we do. That means:
– Smart, reusable page templates
– Bold, clean illustrations that show how Simpler works and why it matters
I know this community is packed with top-notch designers – if you’re into turning complexity into clarity and working fast, let’s chat. This could also turn into a longer collaboration: we’re opening up more and more marketing channels in B2B, and great design is becoming central to how we scale.
DM me or comment if this sounds interesting. Let’s make Simpler look as sharp as it performs!

Reposting this opportunity for a founder coach/mentor specialising in international logistics and circular supply chain for B2B marketplaces…
Hey,
I have had an enquiry about founder coaching that’s not in my area of focus, but I’m trying to help out the founder.
He’s a co-founder in a post-series A b2b marketplace. He has a tech background but is leading ops – he’s struggling with the complexities of international logistics and a circular supply chain.
He wants to work with a coach or mentor who has experience of international logistics to help him understand what good looks like and build his own leadership skills to be a better ops leader.
If this is your area of expertise as a coach or you know anyone that fits the bill, I’m very happy to make an introduction.
thank you!

Hello Paul David Mather – sounds right up my street, having founded a B2B marketplace myself. Happy to take the intro.
Best regards,

Hi Paul David Mather, I’m ex-Amazon, and coach founders and execs in series A to C. Depending on the exact nature of what he’s looking for, I could be a good fit.

Thanks, Richard Russell and Ritz Steytler. For better or worse, the founder ultimately decided to work it out himself!

Wanted – Product Leader with UI/ UX experience
MoneyPlus, a Manchester-based financial services company and TPC client, is looking for an experienced product leader to guide and mentor its in-house team. They have a small team of ops people and engineers redesigning the user experience, with no in-house UI/ UX expertise. So they need some inspiration, plus hands-on guidance, on their user journey.
Likely a few hours per week for a few weeks. Paid. Remote is fine, but the odd visit to Manchester would be helpful.
Please let me know if you are suitable and interested (and make sure your TPC profile is up to date).
