Spending the week in Guadalajara for MuukFest! MuukTest is celebrating >10x growth in 2023. The best part? No “growth hacks”, no hype, no massive fundraises. They’re just super focused on: - delivering unique value in a historically frustrating category (QA) - proving their worth (eg with a money-back guarantee that’s never been requested) - doing the basics right… making customers happy, selling & delivering thoughtfully, and being good people + developing a solid team And that’s the point: if you want to build a solid company that scales, it’s not super complicated - smart founders just tend to overthink it and outsmart themselves. You don’t have to: - get a bunch of press - be a jerk, burn out your employees - raise a ton of $$ - be somebody else’s lottery ticket - blitzscale praying for j-curve economics The craziest part? They can still succeed despite CEO Ivan Barajas Vargas being a Miami Dolphins fan (go Bills) Anyway - excited to be launching a few businesses that follow the MuukTest model this year out of the Reframe venture studio. To sanity in 2024! (Picture: Birriria las 9 Esquinas - legendary spot for Birria in GDL!)

When I founded Hexa (eFounders) with Thibaud Elziere back in 2011, the term Startup Studio hadn't been coined yet; it emerged around 2014. In 2019, #TeamEntrepreneurship was termed to showcase how we operate as a studio amidst the growing number of Studios. At Hexa, we've established 14 core principles, our "Hexa Cheat Sheet," reflecting our values and mission for the next decade.

🚀 Celebrating Milestones: SUIKI's Strategic Workshop in Munich! 🚀 Last week, the SUIKI team had the incredible opportunity to come together with our valued partner Isle Utilities, for a transformative 3-day workshop in Munich. It was more than just a meeting; it was a pivotal moment in our journey towards success. Over the course of three intensive days, we delved deep into setting the strategic direction of SUIKI. With the guidance and expertise of our Isle colleagues, we mapped out a clear roadmap for the future, identifying key objectives and strategies to propel our startup forward. But it wasn't all about business - we also took the time to invest in our team dynamics through team building and agility training, led by the exceptional Sebastian. These activities not only fostered stronger bonds among team members but also enhanced our collective agility and adaptability, essential qualities for navigating the dynamic startup landscape. This workshop was a crucial milestone in our path to a successful pitch and beyond. We're immensely grateful for the invaluable insights, support, and camaraderie shared during our time in Munich. Together, as a united force, we're ready to take on whatever challenges lie ahead and turn our vision for SUIKI into reality. Here's to the power of collaboration, innovation, and teamwork! 💪🌟 #StrategicWorkshop #TeamBuilding #AgilityTraining #StartupSuccess #Collaboration
