Let me know if you have any revisions or suggestions. These items are becoming the foundational blocks of this organization. We are “bolting the wings on as we fly”, as Abigail from HubSpot so aptly put it.

Let’s plan on a meeting before the end of this month (April, 2023) via Zoom for ~30-50 minutes to review these items and say we’ve formally held a Q1 review.
