Speaking at LEAP 2023, James Caan CBE (Serial entrepreneur, Media Commentator and Former Investor on BBC’s Dragons’ Den) said: “When you look at an entrepreneur…we start off with an idea, we raise some money, we have passion and excitement. The thing that we lack is experience. By definition – we’re a startup.” And that’s why mentorship is invaluable – because it fills in that experience gap and sets entrepreneurs up with real-world knowledge. But how do you find the right mentor? Learn more in our new blog post - https://bit.ly/3SWWnMs #LEAP25 #entrepreneurs #startups

💡 Remember, #Failure is an #event, not a person. if you’re looking for someone to blame, then you are establishing a fear of failure and killing organic initiatives and new and innovative ideas. On top of that, you’re not preventing the same failure from happening again. However, if you are asking “what happened?” and not “who happened?” then you may come up with new creative ideas to prevent future failures.

A brilliant blog piece from our co-founder Gabriela Matic, who suggests that founders should look inwards and assess themselves as a first healthy step forward in solving conflict and adversity in the workplace. Read the blog 👉 https://bit.ly/42iiy3p -- #metta #founders #startups #entrepreneurship #selfimprovement #selfawareness #cofounder
Blog: Thou shall know thyself and thou shall squabble: A case for self-awareness and a good old argument. Our Co-Founder and Director Gabriela Matic has seen it all - having supported more than 120 early-stage businesses, angel investing and startup mentoring. Gabi says - "I have, in my almost decade of startups, not been part of or run an accelerator where there wasn’t at least cofounder fall-out. There is often a lot of blaming; heated by emotion that doesn’t usually help with resolving the situation." Gabi suggests that founders assessing themselves is often a healthy first step to solving these situations. A higher self-awareness can lead to better decision making and conflict management, and there are a number of questions you can ask yourself to analyse and start improving your own self awareness as a founder.

Jack Ma once said: When you are in your 20's and 30's, you should follow a good boss [and] join a good company to learn how to do things properly. I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to learn so much about building a company from startup - to - scale up - to exit - at that young age which shaped my journey.

Passionate about Building Bridges in Tech & Startups | Go-To-Market Strategist | Startup Advisor | Podcast Host & Keynote Speaker
"If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started I was desperately wishing to be where I am now." This powerful quote reminds us of the value of perseverance and the importance of recognizing our own progress. In our journeys, whether they be personal, professional, or entrepreneurial, we often face moments of doubt and contemplation about giving up. However, it's crucial to remember how far we've come and how much we've worked to be in our current position. Remember: We are closer to our goals today than we were yesterday, and every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory. #Entrepreneurship #Motivation #Perseverance #GrowthMindset #Startups #Tech #Innovation
