How AMA's work

• All AMA’s are done by Text based conversations on Slack (very similar to Reddit)
• Guests will receive questions before and during the live AMA
• The guest can choose to answer which questions he/she wants to
  Moderation
  Moderators can use their discretion to remove posts they think need to be innapropriate (advertising, or otherwise posts that we feel may deteriorate the experience)

Some awesomeness...

Here's a taster from an AMA with Kevin Hartz, CoFounder of Eventbrite and Partner at Founders Fund to give you a sense of how valuable they can be:

"Hi Kevin. what tips would you suggest for a founder with no sales experience to landing the first 5 SaaS clients?
Kevin Hartz - great question. Given this is your business and you are obsessing over the product, you are in the best position to sell it. I always have considered myself a terrible salesperson so i have always had to build a great product for the market Founders that obsess over their business will have a 6 sense to know what their first customers will really want. You also aren't really selling but learning what they really need and buiding it in conjunction with them so it is really partnering with your first handful of customers I still very fondly remember the bonds with my first eventbrite customers to this date..."
