Sneak Preview - 2024 Speaker Spotlight: introducing Scott Suiter, Creative Director at Suiter&Company "Don’t let branding, marketing, or social media distract you from the most important thing – building a really great product.” Scott will be among our fantastic mentors working with the 2024 Formwork Labs cohort, giving a talk called The Importance of Branding and Storytelling in the Early Days. Scott Suiter started his brand design studio, Suiter&Company, in the Fall of 2022 focusing on helping startups get their brand up and running. Suiter&Co’s support ranges from helping with branding, storytelling, naming, and messaging, to prototyping and digital product design. When it comes to raising capital, attracting talent, differentiating a product, and sending a clear message to customers, the importance of a strong brand identity cannot be understated. We are excited for Scott to help this year’s cohort think through these key decisions and get creative! Formwork Labs is powered by Brick & Mortar Ventures and BuiltWorlds. #construction #innovation #accelerator #aec #startups #venture #investing #constructiontech #contech

📌I didn't have a plan I had a wing and a prayer 🙏🏻 🪽 Yet, every business course I did in the 1st two years of business with Cubefun © made me write a business plan. Once I wrote it, I never looked at it again, it was a complete waste of time (IMO) Then Ballymena Business Centre ran the 4i Innovation Program and introduced the #ValuePropositionCanva to me. To say I got my eyes opened is an understatement!👀👀👀 The #vpc is without a doubt one of the most useful resources for ANY #startup business. If you haven't completed a VPC for your business then I would highly recommend setting some time aside this week and doing it! P.S. l'd love to know what eye opening resource other founders have found invaluable on their journey 🏷️ Tag someone in your network who would find this useful #usefulresources #startuptips #buildingabusiness #sharingknowledge #valueproposition

𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐥: 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬 💬 Interesting talk together with Simon Hecker, Benjamin Pochhammer and Johan Høgåsen-Hallesby on Thursday at 10:30 am on the opportunity stage at the Start Summit. 🤝 The connection between startups and the traditional automotive industry has a lot of potential, but unfortunately also major hurdles. Ideally, both sides complement each other. I worked as an interior designer at Volkswagen Group between 2012 and 2019. I know the OEM world just as well as the German SME sector through our family company RSP GmbH, as well as the startup world with Novus GmbH. 🙏 If you manage to combine the advantages that each phase brings with it, I believe you can create something great. 🙌 On Thursday, we will talk about a few lessons learned, what a partnership can look like and how a startup can assert itself in this highly demanding field. 👼 We will also be there as an exhibitor and will use the Start Summit to award the last two business angel places for our seed round.
