Its been exactly 13 months since Gui Perdrix and I came together to start building Artof.Co in its current format. What started as a simple website revamp slowly evolved into a full blown business. Here is what happened: - Started working on revamping website with no-strings attached - Started hosting monthly Coliving University webinars with an attendance of 150 attendees. - Gathered all our audience from the last 10 years of work in the coliving industry and started the weekly Everything Coliving Newsletter, which now has 40 editions live on Substack and goes out to 20k subscribers. - Hosted paid team trainings and workshops for 8 different coliving brands from different regions of the world. - Launched the V1 of the Coliving Incubator Program. 8 companies became part of it and concluded it with Demo Day, attended by 250 people. - Revamped the Coliving Incubator Program to increase its scope and make it community-driven and milestone-based. Launched V2 of the program with 6 companies. - Started monthly open Everything Colivng Q&A - Started a curated community of Coliving Operators Worldwide with a current strength of 40. - Launching "Coliving Innovators Podcast," bringing in coliving entrepreneurs from different regions of the world to share their stories for everyone to learn from. We have a long way to go. But the idea is simple. Building an ecosystem that can help coliving founders in their journey to build sustainable living spaces for the future. Tag fellow coliving founders who want to become part of this ecosystem. #coliving

MeetYourClass recently pitched on the My First Million podcast alongside Milieu, Tour, MetaFrazo, Brothers Nuts, and Pathlit. Click here to see the MeetYourClass pitch: https://lnkd.in/eDamMx8t. Everyone has to check out what these other start-ups from the University of Michigan and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are building. Here is a high-level overview about why each excites me so much: The organizers: Bobby Housel, Tommy Potter, Barry Sabin, and Austin Kennedy have changed the way entrepreneurs meet at UMich and UIUC. At UMich, they host bi-weekly meet-ups that anyone can attend without an application, dues, or required meetings. After Blake Mischley and I attended each of these meet-ups during our freshman year, we were inspired and knew what it would take to stop talking about launching MeetYourClass and finally make it happen. Milieu, Inc.: Nathan Shatz and Ronil Chaudhary are going to revolutionize skincare by customizing our cosmetic products and habits to each person's unique microbiome. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/etZqAgmF. Tour & Tour.video (YC S21): Amulya Parmar and Kishan Sripada (my good friend from high school!) are making apartment tours virtual and interactive. I used their product when shopping for an apartment in Chicago this past summer. I cannot imagine having made such a significant financial and lifestyle decision without Tour. MetaFrazo: Shrikar Lekkala is helping content creators such as universities "dub" their online content into 60+ languages. Being so close to universities grappling with the impending domestic, demographic cliff, I am confident that MetaFrazo will empower universities to bring their educational services to a much larger population. I am so excited to see how companies like MetaFrazo help to educate the world. Shameless plug, but another impressive dubbing start-up is sync. (YC W24) – where my cousin, Noah Milberger, serves as the founding engineer. Brothers Nuts: Austin Majors and Caleb Majors have such an inspiring story, and their sprouted nut products are making for healthier, more sustainable snacking habits. I am already craving the Crackled Cheezy Almonds that are on the way. Pathlit: Advay Gupta is making reading and responding to emails substantially easier. Their response generator and inbox categorization system is positioned to drastically decrease the 13 hours per day the average worker spends on emails. I cannot begin to imagine the increased productivity and job satisfaction this will bring. Regarding MeetYourClass, we shared how our platform supports students in their transition from high school to college while helping universities enhance enrollment efforts. Specifically, we discussed how universities can tackle rising "Summer Melt" rates, which is the initial point of enrollment leakage and student support that MeetYourClass aims to address. Thank you Sam Parr, Shaan Puri, and the rest of the My First Million team for having us!
