A 3-part series offering practical advice for launching and building a startup.
24 June, 22 July, 19 August | 9-10am | Zoom

If you’re a young founder or operator growing a startup, this series is for you.
First Cut is partnering with Notion for a three-part virtual series designed to help you move from spark to momentum.
Throughout the sessions, you will hear from founders and operators who have been in the messy middle, made progress through uncertainty, and built simple systems to keep moving.
At the end of each session, you will get a live Notion demo tailored to the theme giving you practical tools, templates, and workflows you can apply immediately.
Joined by Yang Fan Yun, Co-founder of Composite, an AI-powered browser assistant that automates repetitive online tasks directly within your browser.
In this session, we will discuss how founders identify meaningful opportunities before they become obvious, the early signals that point towards problems worth solving, and how to build conviction in an idea before consensus.

Joined by Hannah Hardy-Jones and Lucy Pink, Co-founders of Contented, an AI platform that turns conversations into actionable business documents, insights, and workflows.
This session is about turning raw inputs into clear priorities, exploring how founders cut through the noise and make confident decisions without perfect information. You will learn how to take customer feedback and turn it into the product decisions that keep teams moving.

Joined by David Rosenberg, Head of Business Development at Notion, the connected workspace used by startups and teams to manage projects, documents, notes, and workflows, bringing knowledge, planning, and collaboration together in one platform.
This session is about building communities that create lasting momentum. We will discuss how strong communities drive retention and advocacy, how to identify and empower early believers, and turn trust into a long-term growth engine.
