A great event this morning in Bristol on ‘Growing your business: It’s who you know (and what they know)'.   Our panel of experts discussed setting the foundations for your company (without messing up its future!), gave pointers on attracting or securing investment, and explored what you should be thinking about next for your business, after investment.   Key takeaways from the panellists include:   ✔ It’s never too late to seek advice from a professional advisor, but the earlier the better, even from day one. ✔ Advisors want to help you protect the hard work you’ve already put in to get where you are, as well as realise your dreams. ✔ It can start as an informal conversation and go from here, and you’ll know you have someone you can lean on. ✔ Building a relationship is fundamental, along with having open and on-going discussions. ✔ Make use of what else the advisors bring to the table – their own IP! It’s not just their expertise or experience, it’s their network of who they can introduce you to. ✔ Raising investment can take time, and you’re better off with a pragmatic person on your side to help you navigate the process. ✔ These are long-lasting relationships, and often go from advisor to friend.   Thanks to HLK’s Caroline Day for chairing the discussion, and for the advice and real life examples shared by panellists Amy Carr, David Blake and Will Rose. If you want to know more about IP for your business, our article on ‘IP for SMEs' covers the main points. Link here: https://lnkd.in/daAxfBhJ #BusinessGrowth #Tech #scaleup #startup #techstartups

Hi all! I am working on a very interesting project with Direct Carbon right now but also have some spare time that I'd like to invest with other interesting startups and entrepreneurs preferably in similar spaces or sustainability in general. My expertise is primarily in customer discoveries, market entry strategies, growth strategies, international expansions, business development, and partnerships. Let me know if you or someone in your network sees value in me 😊 Happy to connect and discuss! Bonus: I can still spend 45 mins with you and help you to find your "North Star" (without any commitment required). #jobseeking #startupfounders #startupconsulting #sustainabilityjobs #carbonmarket #growthstrategies #marketentrystrategies #gotomarketstrategy #businessdevelopment #salesenablement #salesexcellence Nuno Pereira Tim Steppich Oksana Gal Mars Garza Jason Hochman Jason Grillo Juliet Kirby Adam Hearne Adrian Costigan Antti Vihavainen Aurélie Gonzalez Raghubir Gupta Duncan Preston Karl-Gustav Tamberg
