Met Jean-Pierre "JP" recently, and my first thought? Willamette University - wine country heaven! As a (retired) wine enthusiast, I still drool over @Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. JP's got great taste in education. But he's also building something cool: ScaleBuild AI A startup that's all about doing more with less - perfect for our evolving business world. It's cool to watch JP transition from CEO to scrappy startup human. That's where the real wizardry happens. Thanks for making the trek from our neck of woods in Apex to hang in the heart of NC, JP. #startup #entrepreneurship #businessgrowth #networking

A nightmare for any business owner. This is a Google review for a Sichuan Chinese restaurant in Exeter, one of my favourites. If anyone is familiar with Sichuan cuisine, you’ll know that the concept of "too much chilli" is simply impossible. In fact, I can’t get enough chilli and Sichuan peppercorns! Don't order a rare steak and complain that it’s not cooked. B2C is hard. You can’t please everyone ??♂? Hats off to founders working hard to keep their customers happy. Happy Saturday #startups #Venturecapital #Entrepreneurship #WhatTheHoot

?? Bringing Our Passion Onto Your Plate: The Incredible Jutt Palastar Journey ?? ??? Two minds, one vision. That's how the story of Jutt Palastar began at LUMS, crafted from the ground up by myself and my dearest friend and Co-founder, Moeez Tauqeer. Our mission? When every food option on campus closes, we will bring the best Anda Shami to your doorstep. Starting with just three signature burgers, each infused with our magical ingredients, we set out to make a mark. What we didn’t know was that our small project would catch fire so quickly. We had a shaky start, but guess what? In under three weeks, we achieved what seemed impossible—selling over 45 burgers in less than an hour. The momentum didn't stop there; by the end of our first month, we had generated record sales amounting to PKR 250,000+. ?? This journey has been more than just selling burgers; it's been about creating experiences, fostering community, and learning the ropes of a food startup. Each burger sold has been a testament to the power of partnership and innovation. To everyone who has supported us from day ONE, we thank you. We are excited to continue this delicious journey and serve up even more. ?? Feel free to connect if you're curious about Jutt Palastar, or if you have your own stories of entrepreneurial adventures. Let's inspire and be inspired! #FoodEntrepreneurship #StartupJourney #LUMS #Innovation #PartnershipSuccess #JuttPalastar

As the summer wraps up and life gets back to routine, it’s been a particularly fun and rewarding season for my colleagues at Cookin Inc. But, this was far from a restful summer for our team. In fact, as we turn the corner post Labor Day, I’m genuinely in awe over what the team has accomplished. This post is about them... ...Allow me to explain: This team has been heads down, cranking out the work that drives the future of food forward – enabling food creators to become food entrepreneurs. What have we accomplished? ? Expanded Reach: Our SaaS Platform now has enrolled chefs across 39 US states and 10 provinces in Canada – a 113% increase in coverage since July. ? Community Growth: Increased our platform user base by 82% since July. ? Summer Launch of 3 Major Product Features: Cookin’s AI Food Photo Enhancer; Notify Your Network; and Promos—to help chefs enhance their sales and strengthen their brands. So, for us – we had summer just the way we wanted it: a springboard for acceleration. Building, growing and moving faster than ever. All of this is a derivative of one thing – a purpose driven team. I am incredibly fortunate to work with each of you ?? Stay tuned for what’s next. #Startup #NorthAmerica #Growth #Entrepreneurship #Foodtech #Founder

Don’t waste time climbing the wrong ladder while climbing your real ladder on the weekends. Start at the lowest rank but get into the system. Better to be the line cook at your favourite diner than the sous chef at a Michelin star restaurant where you are allergic to the food. #venturecapital #startups #earlystagestartups #founders #entrepreneurship
