eCommerce connector and community builder Sara Pereda joins Lara Schmoisman on Coffee Nº5 to unpack how Smarterships became a global force, what makes partnerships actually work, and how to scale with strategy, integrity, and connection.
We'll talk about:
- Why Sara built a global Slack community—and made it paid on purpose.
- The real difference between connecting and collecting contacts.
- How to tell if your partners are helping you grow—or slowing you down.
- The #1 rule of being a super-connector (and why it’s not about you).
- Cultural cues and community-building lessons from running events in 24+ cities.
- What founders and agencies really need from their tech partners right now.
