Remotely.works’ Post

What do you do after selling a startup for $130M? I sat down to talk about this with Pau Sabria, co-founder of Olapic and Remotely.works. With Olapic, Pau raised over $22M and then achieved a $130M exit. Now, with Remotely, he and his co-founders have focused on maximizing freedom and sustainable growth. Here are three key insights from our conversation: 1. Transitioning from Venture Capital to Sustainable Growth: Discover how Pau shifted focus from raising $22M for Olapic to bootstrapping Remotely for a balanced approach. 2. Creating Equitable Co-founder Dynamics: Get tips on maintaining fairness and motivation among co-founders with diverse backgrounds. 3. The Importance of Founder-Market Fit: Learn how Pau’s previous experiences gave him and Remotely a unique edge.

Day 2 of Utah Tech Week (First day we attended). 🤩 8:30 am left my house with Bryant Solomon. 9:00 to 11:00 am - Breakfast event (met great VCs to chat further fundraising, chatted with CPAs about ControlQore and got to know a few founders who could use BroodStack). 11:00 am to 2:00 pm - Knocked down my inbox and Slack and communicated where I could between events with colleagues, vendors, clients etc. 2:00 pm - Attended a business growth workshop and met someone interested in ControlQore. 3:00 - 5:00 pm - Went to a pitch critique event and Bryant Solomon threw down a solid “ad-hoc” pitch at the end. They asked if there was anyone in the audience who wanted to pitch and Bryant jumped right up. People had a lot of interest in ControlQore and we met several founders interested in partnering with BroodStack. 5:30 pm - Caught up with Jeff Erickson and BriAnn Rachele at the Founders N' Funders Happy Hour event. SUCH great food and connected with more people on founders opportunities. 6:10 pm - Drove to Holiday. 6:45 pm - Pitched ControlQore to the Salt Lake City Angel Fund. Great opportunity and lots of solid questions from that group. 7:30 - Drove 30 minutes back home. Utah truly has an incredible startup ecosystem!

As a psychologist working with startups, I've observed a fascinating phenomenon: the ripple effect of cofounder alignment. When founding teams learn to communicate more effectively, it doesn't just improve their relationship—it often leads to a cascade of positive changes throughout the entire organization. From streamlined decision-making processes to more efficient team structures and more proactive problem-solving, the benefits of cofounder coaching extend far beyond the founders themselves. Improving your cofounding partnership scales healthy communication.

At a meeting, a VC shared something "Fundraising is like dating. You want to be fit first. Nobody wants someone needy." Before entering the startup world, I believed founders were the customers of investors. But I've noticed many founders act as if they need to submit themselves to investors. The truth? Get irresistible first, and they'll come to you. Your pitch deck is your first impression. It's your chance to showcase your vision and attract the right investors. Are you making the impact you need? As someone who helps startups craft compelling pitch decks, I know what resonates. A great pitch deck can make you stand out. Ready to become irresistible? DM me, and let's create a pitch deck that draws investors to you.
