👋HEY ALL!
Ready for another exciting week in the world of sextech? It's been quite a rollercoaster lately, and I'm excited to share some updates with you.
First off – our Sextech Industry Hub private launch is imminent. This week we hit a few bumps in the road with payment processors (ah, the joys of working in sextech😠), but fear not! We're pushing through and making progress by the hour. It's another reminder of all the hurdles we all face, but it's also a testament to our resilience and determination (and exactly why we need an industry hub).
🎉 For those of you on the waitlist: keep an eye on your inbox! We'll be sending out exclusive invites to onboard first hundred members in the next 24 hours. If you haven't joined the waitlist yet, what are you waiting for? Hop on board – once vetted, it's first-come, first-served.
In other exciting news, we've launched an app for the newsletter! 📱 Now you can access all this juicy content right from your phone, easily.
Plus, if you use the app, you'll get the newsletter before anyone else, which means first in line to see jobs and events for the week.
How cool is that?
