Welcome back to The Deal Room 📰

Each week we have plenty of exciting announcements, the latest VC job postings, deals of the week, upcoming events, interesting articles to learn from, and more. Read below for this week’s insights from the PT team👇

The Partner Track Directory has Launched :)

Good news! The Partner Track Investor Directory is now available. In this PT Directory, you gain access to all member information to connect with the members of our exclusive channel. To prevent anyone else from gaining access and spamming our members, the Password for the directory will be changed every 3 months and will be pinned to the #Partner-Track-Updates channel in Slack for your reference. (Go check it out!)

***Side note: if you joined before our application went live, we need your info! If you want to be included so peers can send you deals, please submit your information here: https://airtable.com/appeHXy6BOZkKta8b/pagpYaNudMSGh4lPF/form

Updates for this Week: 07.25.24 🗓️

Partner Track Meetups are well on their way. The first few Partner Track Ambassadors have already volunteered to begin bringing people together in their home cities. If you know VC friends in, or you are local to Los Angeles, California, Atlanta, Georgia, or Cape Town, South Africa, be on the lookout for more updates in the next few days! (P.S. I hope that this shows exactly how far our network spans and how many cities we can have a presence in) As always, thank you for being a part of Partner Track. I hope you enjoy The Deal Room.
