All great notes.

I’ve changed the logos.

I’ll look for a template with the right visuals that I can present. I think I can present a visual presentation of some of my deals. I think that’s smart.

I'm in the film & television industry.

I just turned 30, and I'm now freelance producing. I'm attached to a lot of great projects in development. The next stage of my business needs capital to grow efficiently. The term on my contracts have a limited window, so I'll need to move as quickly as possible. More capital will also allow me to continue to develop the IP rights I've acquired at the highest level, with the highest caliber of partners.

I don't want my website to be obnoxious.

I need it to validate me and legitimize me, especially when I do cold-outreach via e-mail, and folks then have to Google me to see if I'm someone who's legitimate. So my website has my bio and resume.

But I'm wondering if there's some psychological things I'm missing from what a great web page can do for a freelance producer like myself.

I also am not the most web savvy person, or if I can be, I just don't have too much time to curate something.

I have a preference for minimalism.

I built all of this in Canva. I understand that might limit my SEO growth.

But most folks only find my website from my Instagram account (@deboulay.mxf), my Linkedin (@mrdeboulay), my X page (@mrdeboulay), or from the domain that's in my e-mail ([email protected]).

I don't know if more inbound calls is what I need. So SEO isn't extremely my concern, but I'm open to some advice on all of this because I'm only thirty years old and eager to learn.

Look into ESG.

This is a whole controversial world in and of itself.

argue for a lower discount (20-30%) by emphasizing the company’s growth and recent valuation from the Series A round, which shows that your shares still have strong potential value even without the extra protections

I agree!

I’m committing to this.

Cassette Tape Business

I've been reading about the growth of the cassette tape community, and how it mirrors the growth of the vinyl industry.As a 1990s kid, I understand tape culture and grew up surrounded by Maxell and TDK products. I think the parallel is 1-to-1 but we're still a ways off from the full infrastructure for cassette tapes rivaling the vinyl comeback.Am I wrong in my thesis, and if I'm not wrong, what...
