Discover more from Behind the Curtain
Hi everybody!
I hope youβre doing great wherever you are. These are not the calmest and less stressful times weβve known in history, but theyβre not the worst either. Try to stay hopeful, safe, sane, and healthy. As long as youβve secured those four things, youβre in a pretty good place.
Long time no see if youβve been around for a while! My last post was written on the 4th of June or about 5 months ago!
This last post was actually questioning the future of Behind the Curtain (BTC). In the meantime, my other newsletter Snowball focusing on personal finance (in French π«π·) took off and absorbed most of my free time:
For a while, I wondered if Snowball would remain a side project or if Iβd turn it into something bigger.
The latter quickly became an obsession.
If youβre obsessed with something, at least when it comes to business and passion, itβs usually a great thing.
Those who know me are probably aware that Iβm a huge fan of transparency. From my annual YOLO Reports to all the resources from Comet (my previous company), I shared here, on Behind the Curtain or there, I love to share things in order to help and inspire people.
Since I did not have enough time to work on BTC, I naturally thought about turning it into an extension of Snowball.
Just as a reminder, the original goal of BTC was to share what happens in the backstages of the best companies: their tools, their processes, and their methods.
I will not go far from there in this updated version of Behind the Curtain.
Indeed, Iβll share my journey building Snowball. From a tiny newsletter back in March, to hopefully something way bigger in a few months, years.
Iβll share with you (mostly) everything here:
My questions and doubts
The tools Iβm using
How Iβm building the Snowball brand
My strategy
My updated strategy
My once again updated strategy
Fundraising
Building a community
Hiring
β¦
Basically whatever it takes to turn a side project into a full-fledged company.
Do you want to learn from my mistakes and successes? Do you want to follow this journey out of curiosity? Do you want to witness my success or my epic failure?
If the answer is yes, then you can stay here, otherwise, you can just click on unsubscribe below π.
No offense at all as I understand that this is not exactly what I originally pitched.
Iβll still continue to share resources from other companies here as long as theyβre useful for the construction of Snowball. So youβll still be able to discover great tools, methods, and processes Iβll be using.
Thatβs it for today. Stay tuned for the first episode coming out really soon.

See you soon, or goodbye to those who decide to leave. π
