MyMBA's 4th Cohort & Improvements Sneak Peek
MyMBA's 4th Cohort & Improvements Sneak Peek
Announcing MyMBA's 4th Cohort on Product Hunt today!
I'm really excited to announce MyMBA's 4th Cohort.
Based on the success of our last cohort (read more here), we are launching our next cohort starting September 21st, 2021!
I'd greatly appreciate your feedback on our launch on Product Hunt. Product Hunt aggregates new products and ranks them daily via a voting system.
I’ve included additional details in the Product Hunt link, but here are the basics:
Program Details:
8 Week Program
September 21st to November 23rd
Live Meetings Tuesday from 7:30 - 9:00pm ET
Also, I want to share some improvements that we will be implementing for our next cohort. I feel very lucky to have some talented people helping me implement these improvements over the next cohort.
Improvements:
Additional opportunities to collaborate with Members of the cohort. This was one of the biggest requests from last cohort. We're implementing this through additional happy hours, weekly writing feedback meetings, and Alumni Mentor Meetups. Our core Tuesday night Meetups with remain, but we will give additional opportunities to collaborate with people in the cohort.
Career workshops run by career support partners. I'm finalizing the arrangement with our partners (to share soon), but these workshops will be run to support MyMBA's vision and goals. We received excellent feedback from these workshops from last cohort, and I'm excited to implement even better workshops for this cohort.
Onboarding overhaul. We made significant improvements for onboarding this cohort. It made us realize just how important onboarding is to the MyMBA experience. We are building on this to make additional onboarding improvements.
MyMBA Member Meetups and workshops. Based on feedback and discussions from past cohorts, I've been able to hone in on the most value-add topics to include for our Member Meetups. Some topics include: Business Writing and your Focus, Betting on Yourself, Relationship Roadmap, Negotiations, Elevator Pitch, and more. These topics have received the most positive feedback and align most closely with MyMBA's goal: launch a business career you’ll love without spending the time and money on a traditional MBA.
Internal Resources. From over a year of running MyMBA Industry Partner Meetups, we've built a library of exclusive content (over 20 hours!) that we've organized to share with new MyMBA Members. The aim: learn from business leaders who have navigated a successful business career and done it themselves. In addition, I've built out additional internal resources to help Members in the MyMBA journey.
Improved Alumni Experience. We're providing more opportunities for MyMBA Alumni including the opportunity to be an Alumni Mentor, and we'll be hosting alumni happy hour events.
Additional Career and Job Resources. We're experimenting with a job board and career coaching office hours.
The little things. The details make a difference. These cohorts are iterative and require constant tweaking and experimentation. There are many little things we're improving on (everything from communication style to meeting structure to writing prompts for the essays).
I'm excited to implement these improvements. I hope that these will contribute to every MyMBA Member gaining the confidence and clarity to make their next career move.
