❤️ Ukraine Appeal: Workademy + Mygrants
Two of our portfolio companies, Workademy and Mygrants, are running fantastic initiatives to support Ukraine. If you would like to support them in their initiatives, find more information on how to help below.
Workademy, an SCV Incubator startup, is a learning platform for growing businesses that allows any employee to transform their knowledge into engaging online training.
Founders Olga Filipova and Rui Vilão recently launched the campaign "Acquire an LMS and help Ukraine". Olga, originally from Ukraine and now living in Berlin, is trying to conciliate between having her country at war and running her business and found this to be a positive start.
The platform allows knowledgeable employees to share their knowledge with others by building easy-to-digest training material thus unlocking the capabilities of the entire team!
If you would like to acquire an LMS with proceeds going towards donations, please reach out to Olga using olga.filipova@theworkademy.com
Mygrants, an SCV Accelerator startup, is the most used training and assessment platform for migrants and asylum seekers in Europe.
Founder Christian Richmond Nzi has been operating the company since 2017 and hopes to impact millions of people and help migrants and asylum seekers become totally independent.
If you know people that can benefit from this, please reach out to Christian using chris@mygrants.it
🛠️ Something we’ve been using… Slack
But wait, you may be thinking. SuperCharger Team, we are using it already, why are you letting me know about this?
Here at SCV, we ❤️ Slack! It’s one of the core products we use and so we wanted to share some tips and tricks around how we use the product.
🤖 Slackbot: Slack’s nifty built-in robot
You can use it to remind you of tasks that you need to do or even schedule recurring messages to post to channels
Take this one step further by setting up an API to pull in data to share with the team i.e. weekly website traffic
💾 Shortcuts: Using Slack without your mouse
If you’re tired of scrolling up and down, hit cmd/control + ? and you’ll be able to see all of the shortcuts that Slack has inbuilt
Our favourites are cmd/control + k/n/g which help you to jump to a conversation, create a new message, and search your entire slack
If you’re interested in learning more on how to power up your Slack, message Durthpreet on LinkedIn
