At the Middlesex County Business Summit, our #Entrepreneurial Success panel delivered invaluable insights for anyone in the entrepreneurial space — from starting a #business to scaling it into a long-term success story while maintaining an innovative spirit. The panel included: Alex Davisson, Senior Venture Associate, Plug and Play Tech Center, Jeff Kinsberg, COO, Founder, and Visionary, JAKTOOL, Bo Liang CEO, IView Therapeutics, Inc. and moderator Sho Islam, Director Office of Business Engagement, Middlesex County, NJ Here’s what we learned: ?? Know your own strengths. The #skills that helped you launch your start-up might not be the same ones you need to manage its growth. Be honest with yourself and assess where you need support — whether it’s in management, HR, or operations — and hire the right talent to fill those gaps. ?? The freedom to fail. To keep your entrepreneurial culture alive as your business grows, create a space where #employees can take risks and occasionally fail without fear of punishment. Fostering this kind of courage keeps innovation alive and prevents talent loss. ?? Money grows on the “relationship tree.” Funding is critical for any start-up. Whether you rely on family and friends or outside investors, your ability to build and nurture #relationships will determine your #success in securing the right funding at the right time. Whether you're just starting out or scaling up, these lessons are key to growing your vision into a thriving, sustainable business. ?? ??
