More from TY FRANKEL

U should always be leveraging more & more

Here's your process

1) work for free
2) get 5-10 $1-5K/month retainers
3) get rev share + potential equity deals only

Eventually ur agency should be a cash cow

High margins &/or a turn into a holding company if you're getting equity


It's a process. takes time

Work for free

fail, learn, fail, succeed, now start charging low/mid-tier retainers

Learn more, become great at your craft, build great systems & team

then if possible do rev share deals only. Bring in lots of rev. take equity /w startups if u can

You CANNOT SELL an agency doing $1-5K retainers

U just can't

Unless it's for a .5-1x multiple

Why the Retainer model is just training for the big leagues (rev share on big $$ & equity w startups)

Graduate from retainers & get into rev share/equity ASAP

also to get rev share on big $$ and/or equity

Your offer needs to be more than just "lead gen"

No one is gonna give u Equity for "lead gen"...

Manage a startup's sales process from start to finish & train their sales team to have huge success?

Different story

If i started a new agency today my goal would eventually be to turn into holding company

with:
- an offer SO damn good it DESERVES Equity
- my hand in dozens of promising startups

Equity vested via specific KPIs

Bring 20 clients, get 1% equity, 20 more clients, 1% more & so on

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
