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.
