Out of Office: ON. As we head into the end of the year, many of us will be shutting down, logging off, turning on Do Not Disturb, pulling down the shutters, and taking a well-earned break. For founders, 2023 has been a challenging year, and our recent Founder Barometer survey told us that founders in the UK have struggled with startup/life balance this year. That's why it's more important than ever to take a break from screens, shop floors, studios and offices and spend time recovering, reflecting and kicking back with the ones we love At Virgin StartUp, we're taking a break too and our offices will be closed from Wednesday 20th December to Wednesday 3rd January 2024. During this time our phone lines will not be open and there'll be a delay in email responses. For full details of support for founders over the festive season, head to the blog on our website: https://lnkd.in/ejz6_KMM For now, here's to another year of starting and growing, striving and thriving. Founders: you've done us proud.

IT'S HAPPENING!!! (know this unicorn?) A couple months ago I posted about opening up an in person office in Austin. It took a little bit to line up the infrastructure, but we're getting closer to taking the plunge. We'll be ready to move in within the next 1-3 months and start staffing it out. Here's where the unicorn comes in... We're looking for someone with extra office space in Austin that we can sublease from for a few months. It only needs to hold 5-10 people or so. The goal is to test the concept for 3-6 months in a sublease. Once we've tested out the concept, we'll likely rent somewhere more long term or buy a building. Do any of my entrepreneur friends in Austin have an office with extra space? (and you're looking for an energetic/inspiring group to sublease and bring some new energy to it 😜) Or do you know someone here that might have extra space in their office? Tag them below! I know this is probably a needle in a haystack so any recommendations or tags are appreciated.

This is the story of Andrew Yeung—the 27-year-old Gatsby of Silicon Alley: Andrew’s story began far from the glittering lights of New York City. After two decades of living in four different countries, he finally made his way to NYC from Toronto. His arrival in August 2020 was met with the eerie silence of a city under lockdown. Despite these circumstances, Andrew was determined to create the experience he had always envisioned. In a city known for its creativity, inspiration, and connection. His goals were clear: to meet interesting people, build a community of like-minded friends, and create opportunities for career advancement. In two years, Andrew hosted 100 events for more than 15,000 people. He helped people land tech jobs, introduced founders to investors, and created a community job board. His first event, a picnic for 50 people from Reddit, marked the beginning of his journey. As COVID restrictions lifted, Andrew tapped into his love for electronic music, bringing together over 200 enthusiasts for concerts and shows. Andrew's strength as a vibe curator quickly garnered attention. Early tweets about his events went viral, since then he’s gained 100,000+ followers across platforms. He understood the power of intentionality, always aligning with the goals of the people he connected with. Andrew’s events range from small dinners and happy hours to large gatherings and Tech Summits, were more than just social gatherings. What started as small meetups soon expanded to grand events, including a notable rooftop mixer at The Williamsburg Hotel, drawing 1,000+ guests. But Andrew's story is not just about the numbers or the scale of his events. It's about the impact he had on the NYC tech community. From creating hobby groups to building a job board for those laid off in the pandemic, Andrew's efforts were always centered around giving back. Andrew's knack for finding the quietest corner at parties, his preference to watch from a distance, and his ability to slip out unnoticed added to his mystique. He became a symbol of genuine connection in a world often dominated by transactional relationships. Andrew’s parties were a testament to his belief in the power of community and the importance of authentic human connections. His approach earned him the title of "The Gatsby of Silicon Alley." Behind the scenes, Andrew faced challenges typical of a young immigrant striving for success in a new country. His relentless pursuit of an O-1 visa was finally approved a few weeks ago—America is lucky to have you, Andrew.

I work from a co-working space and was thinking about what a great arrangement this is. But that is not the universal experience. WeWork went supernova in 2023 after years of swagger and inflated promises. A friend of mine consulted with me as she considered taking a job at a co-working space in Southern California, used by a lot of start-up founders, and finally told me, "The members there are the most insufferable, arrogant blowhards I have ever seen. You could not pay me enough to work there." I'm at The Speakeasy in Indianapolis most days when I'm not on the road. We all work for different companies -- or are self-employed -- but we know each other. There are tech people and database wizards and web designers and salespeople and speakers and college students and marketing gurus and not-for-profit leaders. There are people in edtech and fintech and medtech and personal coaching and market analytics. There is a historic document specialist and magician and a filmmaker and more. It is a remarkable collection. We send each other leads, provide tips on technology and many aspects of normal life (like apartment-hunting), ask and answer questions on the Slack channel, and generally have each other's backs. You can engage or be left alone. You can get in on things like member lunches and Thursday afternoon happy hour or you can just keep working. We celebrate milestones in our lives. We have a chili cookoff every year. And since the space is frequently rented out for weekend events, the monthly membership cost is modest. All of this is to say that I wish all co-working spaces could achieve this dynamic. The synergy of that much talent in one place is too good to pass up. #coworking #coworkingspaces

We're pouring our heart and lakhs in investment into building a vibrant and inspiring space that reflects our company culture and fuels our future growth. This new space signifies the dedication, hard work, and sheer grit of our amazing team. It's not just an office; it's a symbol of our ambition and a launchpad for the next exciting chapter of our startup story.

Yesterday, the Editorial Board of the Financial Times offered their opinion on the patchy record of returning #founders and went on to say that Adam Neumann’s potential comeback at WeWork is a double-edged sword (https://lnkd.in/e2h9R8Cu). Let me be brutally honest at the outset: Adam Neumann isn't Steve Jobs. History is full of failed returning founders: Superdry’s co-founder Julian Dunkerton; WeWork founder Adam Neumann; and Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou of easyJet; to name a few. So, the question is: what can these returning founders learn from Steve Jobs? A few weeks before Steve Jobs passed away, I was in San Francisco having dinner with a senior executive at Apple. We revisited the story of Steve Jobs returning to a bankrupt Apple. Jobs could have tried to maximise #profits by squeezing every cent out of each of the existing product lines. Instead, he led the charge to remove scores of products. Jobs cut out profitable business lines at a time when the company appeared it could least afford to do so, culling the business down to four clear product lines. We agreed that this unusual move was typical of Jobs #transforming the company to what is the most valuable business on this planet today. But then my dinner companion said: “Why don’t more returning founders bring greater clarity to what their companies should not be doing?” I’m surprised by how often returning founders pursue the opposite approach and keep their options open. Yet, by pursuing too many options, these founders are risking future success even more. Deciding to cut options can be terrifying for the timid. But it is the very essence of what we mean by making key decisions. Often, I see returning founders go back and forth on the strategic clarity. They argue that their companies could not be compared to Apple because Apple is a consumer products company with a simple product line. They argue, their businesses are much more complex. But such logic is deeply flawed. Apple doesn’t enjoy product clarity and customer loyalty because they’re lucky. They didn’t drift into #simplicity: they selected it by design. And by ‘selected,’ they wrestled with the #complexity, and arrived on the other side of complexity with the kind of simplicity people know and love. I remember Jobs once said, “People think focus means saying ‘yes’ to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s nonsense. It means saying ‘no’ to the hundred other ideas that there are. You must pick carefully.” Since my dinner with the senior executive of Apple over a decade ago, I have made a point of asking returning leaders to define their key priorities. Not one returning founder has opted for Jobs’ definition. This should tell us all that Steve Jobs wasn’t any returning founder – he was unique and will remain so for decades to come. #ReturningFounders
