There are some jobs we do badly at Incubateur HEC Paris.
That's because the only thing we focus on is our mission: helping our communities grow and thrive. To that end, we constantly create new jobs and new tasks for our team members that we believe will help fulfil that proposition, and so we allocate part of our time to being beginners and being bad until we get better.
So we will try hard to be bad at this newsletter until we have a chance to be good at it.
As for any new venture, most of this newsletter true value lies in the future, so bear with us while we try and make your time investment worthwhile :)
