Inviting all #founders to Discover your Entrepreneur DNA 🧬
In a panel for 'Young Entrepreneurs on the Hot Seat' recently, one of the questions raised was how did we prepare for building a startup. I thinking all founders can agree that it was something you learnt on the way, and you will continue to learn even after you have made it.
So the two mantras that drive me are PERSEVERANCE and CONTINUOUS LEARNER. So taking this test just ensure me that Im on the right path, even though it may be rocky.
Go ahead and take this assessment by Founder Institute.

What is your superpower?
The question posed to me by Matt Black at an Eligent Club event in early December of last year, followed by his own response.
My purpose for attending this pitch event for startup founders?
Wasn't to pitch, invest, or speak. Instead, it was to lend a hand at the front desk:). But most of all, I listened and learned. I wanted to hear the conversations and see the faces of the people who were in positions I wanted to be in. I was once told opportunity comes to those that seek it, and that was me, doing my best, despite it being what many would call a menial job. There are no small jobs, and I was ON for opportunity to come my way. By positioning myself to be open to receiving, that's exactly what happened.
As I was going about my duties, a serial entrepreneur, Matt Black, approached me. Shortly after, he proposed the idea of working with him. Not knowing what was to come… Without a moment's hesitation, I jumped at the chance, eager to be part of something truly transformative.
The vision was a platform, to use the 200+ years experience of his senior team, and harness the bleeding edge of AI technology & Deeptech/fintech investment analytics to drive a new kind of self serve accelerator to slingshot companies over the worst part of launching a new business zero to Seed & port MVP traction.
It's still early days but being apart of the team that was representing the innovative solutions of "FounderAI" at its first public announcement and showcase event at the Eligent Club event ( the same one I worked 4 months ago) this past Saturday was truly an eye-opening experience.
The specific event was attended by over 400 individuals, including investors, startup founders, mentors, and students, providing valuable insights into the tech world and the crucial roles that AI and team development are playing in shaping the future of entrepreneurship.
After the Founder AI event, Matt hosted myself and 8 others for a celebratory meal and drinks, the topic of recruitment came up, and Matt shared some insightful perspectives on how he engages people to join his ventures.
He explained that there are millions of people in the world who can do almost anything, with varying skill levels and compensation expectations. While this provides ample choice, Matt's experience has shown that skills can be taught, but true talent and motivation are far more important. What really matters is finding individuals whose personal goals and vision align with the organization's mission. This, he believes, is the key to building a successful and committed team.
Something that made me realize, I was in the right place. We should all be so lucky to do something we love, something we believe in, and that makes a difference in the world, not just to pay the bills. Sometimes, if you can't find it, you just have to build it. And that's exactly what I'm doing - building my dream job as part of the Founder AI team.
