Story Alley Community Update #1

Hey friends,

If you’ve been with us for a while, you know that Story Alley is a constant work in progress. We started out by giving you the most important news and resources on all things creator economy, then evolved to share tips, tricks and success stories on building a strong online presence.

Now, we’re adding a new component to the mix. We’ll start every month with a community update that will give you the skinny on all things Salley, including but not limited to our NYC events, product updates, wins, asks and more.

Ready? Let’s dive into all the exciting things we were up to over the past month.

NYC Tech Mixers

If you’re in NYC, you may have heard about our tech mixers. Twice a month, we’re bringing the tech community together for an evening of fun, cocktails and new friendships.

To say that people are having a blast may be an understatement. New friendships, group chats and valuable business relationships have been formed. But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what some of our attendees had to say:

Online Presence Workshop with Large Tech Bank

A few weeks ago we mentioned that we were approached by a big bank that asked us to deliver a workshop to their NYC team. The topic is one we know extremely well: building a strong online presence.

We couldn’t be more excited to be doing a workshop for the bank’s New York team in early April and will be sure to let you know how it goes.

Last but not least, we’ve been approached by two other organizations eager to have us do the exact same thing for them. Needless to say, we’re psyched!

Product waitlist growth 

We’ve now built a thriving community around Salley - both online and offline. While our events serve as the main conduit for the NYC offline community, our product waitlist isn’t far behind.

We’ve put zero marketing efforts behind our product, but the demand is ramping up on its own. Just in the past month, we grew by 9%. Hurray for word of mouth!

Website revamp. Tell us what you think.

We recently gave our website a major facelift, so we could better communicate our story, vision and value prop.

We’d love to get your thoughts on it. Feel free to reach out with any feedback, thoughts or comments. All you need to do is hit the reply button :)

Community + VC partnerships 

We’ve been hard at work reaching out to communities that would benefit from Salley, and are extremely excited to share that we’ve partnered with several VC firms and startup communities to offer them priority access to Salley.

Members of Kleoverse and Verci as well as portfolio companies of Unusual Ventures, The Fund, Contrary Capital, Primary VC and Worklife Ventures now have priority access to Salley. Lucky them!

If you can think of any other communities with which we should partner, don’t hesitate to reach out and make a suggestion. We’re all ears.

With love,

Team Salley
