Sat, August 17, 9 AM: The OOO Summit for Owners, Operators, & Outliers

First event we hosted together back in 2022!

Wanted to share about my friend Andrew Yeung and his amazing OOO Summit! He was previously at Google & Meta and made the courageous decision to leave to start his own community & events enterprise.

On August 17, Andrew is hosting the OOO Summit for Owners, Operators, & Outliers (exclusive links for tickets below). Perfect for entrepreneurs, creators, and tech professionals. On top of being an owner & operator, Andrew is definitely also an outlier, so couldn’t think of a better person to host this😀 

Speakers incl. Alex Lieberman (Morning Brew), Sam Parr (The Hustle, MFM, Hampton), Sahil (Gumroad), Ankur (Teachable), and other founders who sold their cos for 8/9 figures.

The summit is exclusive and application-only, but Supermomos friends can skip the waitlist and get $50 off tickets 😀 Use the links below to sign up:
