Your meetings are broken

⚙️ Hi Operator,

That's how a venture studio operator described her daily reality to me last week. After dozens more conversations, I realized we've been thinking about meetings all wrong.

The real problem isn't the meetings themselves.

The issue is the broken system of information flow around them.

While every new tool promises better agendas or cleaner notes, they're missing the bigger picture.

The chaos happens before, during, and after you hit "end call."

Here's what we heard during our conversations:

"I can't walk by someone's desk anymore," a Director of Operations managing a 23-person remote team confessed. "Everything has to be documented perfectly, but no one has time to do it well. So we schedule another meeting instead."

"Each team speaks their own language," another COO told us bluntly. "I'm constantly translating between technical, creative, and business teams. None of our tools understand this reality."

"We have five different meeting tools," a Head of Operations at a healthcare startup sighed. "None of them talk to each other. Information vanishes between systems. So guess what? We have the same conversations. Over. And. Over."

That's why I partnered with two technical geniuses (JP & Paras) to help me build a solution.

We've hand-picked five operators who are done with Band-Aid solutions and ready to build something real. Together, we're going to build, test, and iterate over the next 4 weeks… All in public for you to see.

Every step of the way, we're bringing you behind the scenes:

• The raw build process, including our failures, pivots, and prototypes

• Direct feedback from operators testing our solutions in real environments

• Battle-tested frameworks you can implement with your own teams

No growth hacks.

No magic solutions.

Just honest updates about solving a real problem that's costing teams countless hours and opportunities.

Want the inside view?

We're documenting this entire process in a twice-weekly email series. But fair warning: we're only sharing these updates with people who explicitly opt in. This isn't for casual observers.

(No worries if you aren’t interested. We’ll return to our regular content scheduling next Thursday!)

See you in the journey,

- Rameel

P.S. Our first update drops Sunday, revealing how our failed MVP forced us to completely rethink what meetings could be. Don't miss it.
