18 April-1 May: Society follow-ups and competition delivery - finally going full time on CaseCrest!

CaseCrest

This is a big step for myself, being able to full dedicate myself to CaseCrest opens up much more leverage and flexibility to dedicate my brain space, energy and resources towards progressing the missions and building CaseCrest. It's a privellege and an exciting opportunity to be able to do this.

This fortnight was about moving from general interest toward delivering on competition requirments in real time.

Also just going through the GTM motion - following up with societies, support upcoming competitions and create enough materials for hosts to understand the offering which is currently a very manual process (which is fine).

It's an incredibly manual process and the GTM playbook for global expansion needs to be refined. It's okay to do things that don't exactly scale but it does become tiring.

Product

• Continued engineering updates for competition admin and delivery flows.
• Supported planning around upcoming hosted competitions.
• Worked on host-facing guide material and proposal support.
• Continued reviewing product feedback from recent meetings.

GTM and operations

• Followed up with societies across major Australian universities.
• Continued priority outreach across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and other university markets.
• Held more society and partner conversations, including consulting and case competition groups.
• Used startup/community events to keep sharpening the pitch and partnership angle.

Next

The next block needs product depth: fewer bugs, better judging/admin workflows, stronger exports and a more self-service host experience.
