I had some questions on my last post about how brands can start to build their community - so this post is dedicated to answer that question! Here's How to Build a Thriving Community Around Your Startup ???? In the startup world, a strong community can be a game-changer. It’s more than just gathering users or customers; it’s about creating a space where people feel connected to your brand and to each other. Here’s how to get started: 1. Define Your Mission and Values ??: People rally around brands that stand for something meaningful. Identify the "why" behind your product or service, and let this purpose inspire every interaction with your community. 2. Pick the Right Platform ??: Choose a platform where your target audience naturally engages—whether that’s social media groups, forums, or apps. Make it easy for members to connect with both your brand and each other. 3. Engage Authentically ??: Skip the “broadcast” approach. Instead, spark genuine conversations, invite feedback, and listen to your community’s ideas. People want to feel heard and valued. 4. Create Value ??: Reward your community with exclusive content, early product access, or special offers. Make membership feel like a VIP experience to deepen loyalty. 5. Showcase User Stories ??: Encourage members to share their stories and experiences with your brand. User-generated content not only boosts engagement but also amplifies trust. 6. Build for the Long Term ??: Communities grow on trust and authenticity. Show up consistently, listen closely, and keep adding value. When people trust you, they’ll champion your brand. Building a community takes time and commitment, but it’s an investment in brand loyalty, organic growth, and long-term success. Your startup doesn’t just need customers; it needs champions. ??

?? Finding the right co-founder is crucial for the success of a startup. The wrong choice can lead to conflicts, while the right choice can lead to exponential growth. In this article, we will explore various channels and strategies to find the perfect co-founder. 1. Personal and Professional Network The first step is to look within your own network. Colleagues, friends, and acquaintances can be potential co-founders. Here’s why: ?? Mutual Knowledge: You already know their skills and work style. ?? Trust: Mutual trust is fundamental for a successful partnership. 2. Networking Events and Meetups Attending networking events and meetups can be extremely effective: 3. Online Platforms There are several online platforms where you can look for co-founders like LinkedIn for example. 4. Hackathons and Competitions Participating in hackathons can help you find people to collaborate with. 5. Universities and Business Schools Universities are great places to find co-founders: ?? Collaborations with Students: Many universities have entrepreneurship centres and offer programs where students can meet co-founders. ?? University Events: Attend events and competitions organised by universities. 6. Online Communities and Forums Online forums and communities can be useful, for example Reddit. ?? Finding the ideal co-founder takes time and effort, but by using a combination of the strategies listed above, you will significantly increase your chances of success.

Last night I hit 7K followers and thought it’s a good reason to reintroduce myself here. So, hello to all my most recent connections (and a warm hello to my long term friends and network)! I launched my first company 3 decades ago, and since then, my journey has been a whirlwind of growth, innovation, and collaboration. Ups and downs (as well). From working with just a handful of clients to helping thriving companies with thousands, to major projects with household names like Lego, BMW, or Scania – it’s been quite the ride! For over a decade now, I’ve been focused on supporting entrepreneurs and startups from growth stage to scale. As MD of sclr labs, I'm focused on founders and ventures with growth potential and ambitious aspirations and help them turn growth dreams into reality. Our clients come with a range of headaches we've tackled. From building and sustaining sales channels, launching products in the UK after EU success, enhancing systems for expansion... and more. My big game is to create a thriving ecosystem where businesses flourish, driving innovation and economic growth. I was lucky enough to discover early on in my entrepreneurial journey that the right partnerships and relationships drive any venture.We have a collective power to change the world for the better as entrepreneurs. That was the thinking behind co-founding Raising the Bar (RTB LDN) that is what pushes me every day with sclr, I wake up motivated by the possibility of moving the needle a bit. 7K followers is not a huge number here, and I’ve set myself a goal to reach 10K followers in the next two months. It’s not about the number – it’s about creating a community that adds value to everyone involved. Let's get to know each other a bit better. Since I’ve reintroduced myself, I’d love to hear from you too. Share in the comments ?? who you are and ??what you’re excited to be working on right now, or if you’re up for it, share ??something we don’t know about you! What am I up to right now? Networking Mastery booklet is almost ready for you to enjoy. I'm also excited to release in Sept. something special that I've been working on quietly on for startups sclr is supporting. Fun fact about me, I used to run an award-winning sailing business in my other life! I miss sailing. That’s my plan for when I'm in my 80s and onwards, to get on a boat and sail across the globe, sporadically logging in to check what's going on in my business. What are you up to? Have a productive day! ___ Initial contact with sclr labs: https://lnkd.in/ddeRK_kY Join our next event at Raising the Bar (growth stage startups/. by approval): https://lu.ma/90gk9f7v
