Follow up with intent: Send personalized notes, share relevant content, and schedule 1:1s to deepen engagement beyond the event.
Performance reporting: Measure and communicate the ROI of your efforts (pipeline generated, conversion rates, referral multipliers, CAC payback).
Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with Flex’s marketing, sales, and data teams to align messaging, share community insights, and optimize attribution strategies.
Represent Flex authentically: Act as the local face of Flex — knowledgeable about our product, our mission, and the needs of venture-backed founders/GPs.
