Atto’s New Mastermind Pods
Since Atto launched in 2019, we’ve created Mastermind pods in every program we’ve run. We curate pod groups for the early-stage founders in our community so they can support one another to reach their goals.
These regular meet-ups mean founders build connection with like-minded founders at a similar stage of their startup journey.
They meet weekly, fortnightly or monthly to share ideas, support one another and keep each other accountable to their goals.
During Masterminds, we usually ask founders to share:
What they’re working on,
A recent win, and
Something they need help with.
This process makes it easy to get a snapshot of what’s happening in their business, what they’re focused on, and how other members can support them to overcome challenges.
We’re relaunching our Academy Mastermind pods!
We’re constantly getting feedback from our founders about the type of support they need to keep learning and keep growing their businesses. And while most founders were getting benefit from our weekly drop-in Masterminds, we were hearing that they wanted even more support and accountability to help them take things to the next level.
We’re curating small, intimate groups of female founders for quarterly Mastermind pods.
The founders will be matched with other female founders in our community at a similar startup stage, and they decide how often they’d like to meet to review their goals.
Benefits of Masterminds for Female Founders
These groups are safe spaces for peer-to-peer support. They allow founders to support one another, solve problems and get advice from other members in the group.
We’ve written before about the benefits of mastermind groups for female founders. The key benefits for female founders are:
Building connection
Access to expert advice
Accountability
Inspiration
Giving back and idea sharing
Feedback from our founders about Masterminds:
“Atto Academy Mastermind’s have propelled our progress even faster… Each week, I know I have to be somewhere and hold myself accountable to my peers.”
“Asking myself the weekly mastermind questions of what my 'wins' and 'challenges' has become an essential ritual, forcing me to step out of the daily whirlwind to look at my business from the outside in and review what's actually happening."
“The weekly masterminds have helped give clarity to issues that sometimes swim around in my head, looking for a place to to be discussed and mentored.”
"I love this group (mastermind)! Every session I learn from the other amazing female minds. And each week my confidence and ability to contribute increases with it. I encourage any founder or aspiring founder to be part of such a group."
“Being surrounded by amazing female founders is inspiring and keeps me accountable to keep pushing forward.”
“I enjoy the weekly business banter and being inspired by fellow founders' journeys. Often listening to their challenges and solutions can give impetus to my solving my own issues!”
“I'm constantly amazed by the level of expertise and professionals in the program. It's a game changer for anyone in the data and tech space. Main thing has been the community element in a psychologically safe space where we can really share about what's happening in the business. More specifically, more insights around the structures you need when you're creating a tech company - you can't Google it, it requires decades of experience or someone who has been through or someone who can see the problems before they arise.”
