Figure I better take a second here. ?I'm always moving forward, rarely looking back—but last week at San Antonio Startup Week deserves a beat. What an incredible experience! I participated in three panels, including moderating one on how #CoOpetition (collaborative competition) can drive innovation and expand markets Have you ever experienced a moment where, in real time, you can feel a pivot—a shift in momentum—and realize you're in the middle of a Flashpoint? One of many, perhaps, where the future suddenly feels different from the past you just left behind? I witnessed many impactful and meaningful insights. We confronted the hard truths of building a startup—facing the daunting challenges of clawing out of the valley of death. But we also shared practical steps to continue building toward success. A massive thank you to?Geekdom or inviting me to host my first panel at Startup Week after many years of participating. And thank you to the panelists for sharing their wisdom with our community. Throughout my career of building new things, I’ve learned a bit about what works—and how to find the greenlit paths that lead the way forward I hope everyone who joined us and contributed to the conversation gained value from this year’s event. The gap between Startup and Scaleup is still there, but we’re in this together—to win it. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it—Anyone can. #Community #RiseUPSanAntonio #CollaborationoverCompetition #EmpowerGrowth
