Network Capital Community Building Fellowship

Hi, my name is Utkar Shamitab and I'm the Founder and CEO of Network Capital. Network Capital's mission is to democratize inspiration and make career guidance and mentoring accessible to every person on the planet. I dear that every single person in the world has something to learn and something to teach. All we need to do is to build a culture of learning and sharing at radical collaboration space without spending a single dollar on sales and marketing. We've grown to become one of the world's largest career intelligence communities with hundred thousand plus verified members. We have thousands of monthly paying subscribers, we've been featured on ted, World Economic Forum, Harvard Business Review, and there's even a best selling book called the Seductive Illusion of Hard Work that comes directly from our experience today. I'm here to tell you how communities are the future of all businesses and how you can set up your own community and transform the pace of learning for yourself. Community as a service is something that people have been informally doing for a very long time. But now whether you look at companies like Microsoft and Facebook or you look at smaller communities which are trying to figure out the product market fit, essentially they realize that all the efforts in marketing and sales are a waste of time if there isn't a thousand or isn't a true fan. I've personally been really inspired by Kevin Kelly's Thousand True Fans model and I've written about it extensively in hbr. But the essence is that community is what unites people. It's the shared purpose. And in the Network Capital Community Building Fellowship you will graduate by figuring out what's the community that you want to build and shape and what are the tools that you want to have in order for you to achieve such an outcome. Building network capital was first a labor of love, then a passion project, and now it's what I do full time. Leaving Microsoft was not an easy decision, but it's not that I regret. I learned a lot at Microsoft, but now that I've built a full fledged community first Business model, I've realized that this is something that I'm truly passionate about sharing so that you can do the same. I hope you enjoy learning from the incredible faculty that we bring from around the world. There'll be distinguished community leaders from the likes of Facebook, LinkedIn, et cetera. There'll be one person, a Nigerian American woman who's built one of the world's largest community for women. With millions of stories being told every day. There'll be community builders who've used different platforms, some on existing, some created their own. There'll be people across different age groups, income groups, talking about how different case studies have worked out. I really hope that you immerse yourself in this month long fellowship which will be starting in a week from now. If you're interested, feel free to check out NetworkCapital TV.

Thank you very much for all your love and support. We really treasure it.
