Mangrove
Welcome to Issue 008 of the Mangrove Newsletter! We hope you enjoy reading this as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you.
Wondering what we’ve been up to?
We've been listening closely to your feedback and we're excited to announce a change! We're revamping our newsletter to bring you even more value, more often.
Say goodbye to the monthly digest and hello to weekly bites!
Same great content, just more frequent and easier to digest. We'll be diving deep into specific topics each week, keeping you updated on the latest resilience trends and Mangrove insights.
Sooo, lets go.. 🥁
We did it! Our team jetted in from Thailand, South Africa, and London to conquer the chaos of WebSummit Portugal.
Picture this - a bustling event of 90,000+ tech enthusiasts, all packed into one week. It's a shark tank, a jungle, and a playground, all rolled into one.
Our team was on fire, showcasing Mangrove to a global audience of innovators, founders, and investors. We had incredible conversations about startup and investor resilience, and even made some new friends along the way. A big shoutout to Play Fund Win & Social+ for the amazing connections!
Stay tuned for our resilience interview with Calfreezy.
Alongside Web Summit, we’re thrilled to announce our upcoming masterclass, Building Operational Resilience for Startups, hosted by Silverspoon Continent. Scheduled to happening on November 22nd at 7pm GMT+1. This event is a collaboration with The Grit Makers and will bring together 50-70 founders for a practical, hands-on session. Mangrove will kick off the masterclass with operational resilience, followed by an interactive segment on founder resilience with The Grit Makers. This will cover burnout prevention and positive engineering.
We’re looking forward to bringing this masterclass to life and sharing insights with founders to help them build businesses that bend instead of breaking!
Remember when we thought we had aced the LyRise AI Accelerator? Well, life had other plans. We faced some unexpected challenges, from dropping out of the competition to a site crash. But hey, we persevered and emerged victorious!
LyRise awarded $225,000 in grants to 5 startups, and we're thrilled to be one of them! That's a massive $45,000 boost for our AI projects.
We've been hard at work on our Mangrove Co-Pilot, and now, with this generous funding, we can take it to the next level. Version 1 has been undergoing rigorous testing, and we're excited to unveil an even more powerful and innovative tool.
Stay tuned for an upgraded Mangrove Co-Pilot, packed with new features and enhancements.
So thanks Marc Banoub 🙌🏼 & the LyRise team for this opportunity.
We know, we know. We’ve been teasing you with this upgrade for a while. But the wait is finally over!
We've completely revamped our UI/UX based on your valuable feedback and insights from our pilot program usage.
We even gave it a spin at WebSummit Portugal, and the feedback was straight up positive. Feel free to take a peak 👇👀
In addition to Web Summit and the masterclass, we’re developing our first e-learning course, an interactive, subscription-based program focused on operational resilience. Designed to make learning both engaging and actionable, the course will dive deep into practical strategies that startups and businesses of all sizes can use to prepare for the unexpected.
We’re excited to roll out a learning experience that’s both comprehensive and easy to apply, making resilience more accessible and impactful for everyone. Stay tuned for more updates on the course launch.
