One pivot is never enough, it's more a consistent evolution Or that's how I view Ally Fekaiki's career. From working together at Yolt; to him being our client at Juno: flexible benefits, limitless possibilities® to Probably Not® building our new website ... we just need to work out when we need a music composition from natural frequencies® and our circle will be complete. Ally never sits still, from working tables during the day and building the first Juno platform at night to launching two agencies post exit - this is a Pivot Session that might make you dizzy and will hopefully include Biggie the dog as a special guest. Tune in on Monday lunchtime to find out more ☕ #pivotsessions #powerup #founderstory #startupgrowth #scaleupgrowth #funding #angel #seriesA #wellbeing #webdesign #sounddesign

From beauty services to enterprise SaaS 👀 This is one not to be missed. Emma Rees is a serial entrepreneur who has worked across B2C, B2B and Enterprise. She's successfully grown three start ups; two bootstrapped and one VC funded. In early 2000's, Emma launched an on-demand business before on demand was even a phrase with the UK's first on call fast beauty services, and leveraged that decade of experience into a successful chain of blow dry bars and app-based services. Most recently she built Deployed, an Enterprise SaaS platform for successful projects, and have transitioned from CEO to Executive Chair. Super excited for Vanessa Rustom (Née Kent) and Emma to chat on Monday. We'll have the popcorn ready! #startupgrowth #pivotsessions #scaleupgrowth #powerup #femalefounders #enterprise #saas

The UK wastes approximately 9.52 million tonnes of food every year. And for grab + go retail stores, the sporadic office visits means it's even harder to predict how much food to make each day. This is where martee ai comes in. They are taking learnings and turning it into a AI forecasting model - 🔥 Reducing food waste 🔥 Solving the demand/supply problems The holy grail of saving the planet + revenue 😱 Clear to see why martee ai have sailed through their recent funding round with Nesta, Founders Factory and Haatch.

Is Employee Happiness a realistic KPI? 🤔 For Richard Clarke it was by far the most important for Secret Source. Unsurprisingly, free beer didn't fully achieve this. So they restructured their business and not only smashed this KPI, they also enjoyed massive business growth. Lucy is super excited to be talking to Richard next week to find out exactly how he did it. Sign up below 👇 #pivotsessions #powerup #scaleupgrowth #employeehappiness #founderstories

Did you know that YouTube started as a dating site?? ✨Originally created as a dating site, YouTube users would make videos of themselves describing their ideal partner so that they could potentially find their perfect match. However the founders had trouble finding people who wanted to use the platform in this way, so they shifted to allow users to host any kind of video — making YouTube what it is today. Pivots tend to be a necessity in the growth of a business and this is why I’m hosting The Pivot Sessions series on The Scale Up Collective’s page for the next 6 weeks. Last weeks session with Sean Ruane was jam packed with so much wisdom including this quote 👇 🤯 “Let the market tell me where the tech has most impact” Today, I have the absolute pleasure of welcoming Richard Clarke, founder of Secret Source. Tune in today to find out how focusing on team happiness can be the imputus for your business success! #pivotsessions #startupgrowth #founderstories #scaleup #techstartup

💫 Focus on the problem you're trying to solve 💫 rather than your initial solution. I'm super excited to launch this next season of Scale Up Lives with... *** THE PIVOT SESSIONS *** Over the next 6 weeks, we will be interviewing CEOs and Founders from seed to series A - all purpose-driven from gut health to insuretech. It's a 30 min session that will focus on their story so far and why they've pivoted. The first one is with the amazing Sean Ruane, founder of Mind Data who's on a personal mission to improve the mental health of one million people. With Mind Data, Sean is bringing his life experiences together by addressing some of the challenges he's experienced with the traditional therapy process, and offering a disruptive solution to the mental health space. Can't wait to share his story: grab your spot below ⬇ #startupfounders #pivot #powerup #founderslife #founderstory #mentalhealth #techstartup
