Hi Gildre community! Is there anyone here who’s successfully filed patent(s)? Specifically could use some advice on utility patents, but the process in general will be helpful.
If you have any first-hand experience here, or know someone who’s been through it, would appreciate the connection!

Hi everyone! I’m curious to hear who here has worked with a pitch coach in the past, and learn what worked well for you and what didn’t work well for you.
Very cool, great idea 👍
Segmenting the 1-pager would help.

Thanks for sharing Jonathan! Can you clarify a little more on the use case with this? Is this the first thing a new client sees before they have a conversation with you or do they get this after a meeting/reachout?
It’s difficult to help with you without knowing your unique offer and ideal client. In any case, check out Building a Storybrand by Donald Miller. It’ll help you create a message that sticks.
I would maybe update the subheadline and description to:
Headline: Your Most Cost-Effective Growth Strategy Isn't a New Hire
Subheadline: Level Up Product Decisions Without the Overhead
Description:

I like option 2 because it aligns well with your value prop
not as advisors or anything, just a gift
if you are to gift equity to family (no money attached), what is the best way to do so? does anyone have a simple template I can see?
Does anyone have leadership coaches they'd recommend? I'm searching for one for my client.
Context: He's the founder/CEO but is really struggling with the switch from corporate worker to the small business/startup leader mindset. This is his first business. He has never been a CEO before.
CCD investors are those who invest in the Calamos Dynamic Convertible & Income Fund (CCD), a closed-end fund that aims to provide total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income, primarily investing in convertible securities and income-producing assets.
anyone familiar with CCDs?
