What’s currently happening at Deep Work?
Operations
Current State
Missed Newsletter: I apologize for missing the last newsletter due to travel. I’ll strive to avoid such delays in the future.
Token Allocation Concerns: If you have any concerns about the allocation of tokens, please feel free to schedule a call with me. We'll make the call public so others can join and benefit from the discussion.
Org Design Consultancy
Goals
Focus: Our primary goal is to collaborate with Venture Capitalists (VCs) to screen their teams.
Lessons Learned
VC Needs: VCs require support in ensuring team coherence and alignment, as well as in treasury management and market fit. Our skills offer a solid solution that surpasses current VC strategies. This approach is also applicable to ecosystems that issue grants.
Coordination becoming relevant. Several people describe “coordination“ and “organization“ as important skills and realize that coordination requires structure.
This is a good sign because Deep Work makes these structures visible.
Deep Work Studio
Goals
Structured Business Development Process:
Gather insights from our favorite clients on how we've aided them.
Analyze and enhance our current offerings.
Develop concise messaging that caters to the needs of similar clients.
Seek referrals and introduce our refined offerings.
Documentation Improvement: We need to further refine our documentation, particularly in explaining “how we work”. This will set clearer expectations for clients and guide our growing internal team.
Software Development
Goals
Deep Teams: Prioritize making Deep Teams a tool for documenting quality standards, along with enabling project and reputation management.
Strategy
Zuzalu Ecosystem: Consider integrating our software into the Zuzalu ecosystem. It could be beneficial for managing small pop-up colivings and community prototypes, thereby facilitating coordination and teaching users how to utilize Deep Teams (and Deep Skills, Legra) for their own companies.
Awareness
Goals
Instagram Content: Streamline my personal Instagram content creation process.
Potential Collaboration with DeFi Dude: DeFi Dude is operating a platform builda.dev. We have an opportunity to gain exposure by showcasing projects we've worked on or our own software in the web3 space.
Lessons Learned
Instagram Feedback: Received overwhelmingly positive feedback on sharing my learnings and work on Instagram over the last months. I will continue to streamline this process.
Deep Experiences
Goals
Deep Work Branding: Ensure clarity in our event’s branding as part of the Deep Work ethos.
Event Planning:
Decide the location for our next event.
Conduct an event-design workshop to organize it effectively.
Identify high-potential teams and communities, invite key members for a week-long co-living experience during the conference, and co-host an event.
Maintain high food quality standards.
Lessons Learned
Event Success: Our events have become a unique and memorable aspect of conferences. Feedback from our DevConnect Istanbul event was exceptionally positive, with guests describing it as the best experience of the conference, comparable to a friend's birthday, and a seminal gathering.
Thank you all for making it happen!

Goals
