Hey family,
For a long time, people have told me I need to document my journey of building The Qube. And now, four years later, I’m finally doing it. Welcome to my very first vlog—Founder Life! 🎉
I’ve been keeping audio logs here and there, but now it’s time to really share this experience with y’all in a meaningful way. Every Friday, I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening behind the scenes at The Qube, and I’d love for you to be on this journey with me.
The Qube's Rollercoaster Ride 🎢
Being a founder is no joke. It’s a wild, unpredictable ride filled with highs, lows, and everything in between. But this is the rollercoaster I chose, and I’m committed to seeing it through. Each week, I’ll be sharing the wins, the lessons, and the real, unfiltered experiences of building The Qube. So let’s go!
Big News: Northwestern’s Venture Equity Course 🎓💰
Early this year I got accepted into Northwestern’s Venture Equity course! Every Monday night, I sit in on lectures, connect with fellow founders, and prepare for what could be a game-changing opportunity. The analysts in the class (the students) pitch our businesses to potential investors, and there’s actual money on the table—checks up to $50,000! Will The Qube be one of the chosen few? We’ll see. I’m staying hopeful.
One thing I’ve learned on this journey is that every "no" just means it wasn’t my time yet, and every "yes" means someone else got a "no." That mindset has brought me peace and kept me pushing forward. But trust me, I’m manifesting this yes for The Qube! 🙌🏾
The Qube is Official-Official! 🏦
Another huge milestone—I finally opened The Qube’s very own bank account! When I started this, The Qube was supposed to be a project under E3 Radio, but it quickly became its own entity. So at the end of 2023, I incorporated it as a C Corp to take on investment. Now, with its own bank account and accounting system, The Qube is officially standing on its own. This is a big step in making this dream real.
Our First Podcast Salon & A Special Vinyl Project 🎙️🎶
We’re hosting our first-ever Podcast Salon today, and while ticket sales weren’t through the roof, I know that sometimes you just have to start. The creatives said yes. The energy is right. And I’m excited about what’s to come.
But that’s not all—we’re doing something special. I’m producing a vinyl record featuring clips from the salon! 🎧 There’s something powerful about having a tangible piece of our work, and I can’t wait to share the design with y’all. We need at least 100 pre-orders to make it happen, so if you want to be part of this, secure yours today!
Looking Ahead 👀
This journey hasn’t been easy, but I’m more determined than ever. My next big milestone? Securing the funds to bring the MVP version of the app to life.
See you next Friday! ✨
peace,
Anna
