During today's meetup, one of speakers will be Dawid Pacia - an incredible ShiftKey Senior QA Engineering Manager - who will enrich the meetup with his speach on "Scale up, screw up. Why do we face setbacks when we grow?" Dawid will share his experience gained from startups and medium-sized manufacturing companies - guiding audience through these pitfalls and challenges, illustrating how to detect them (sometimes almost impossible), prevent them, and (hopefully) rectify them in time - essentially showcasing how to ensure everything runs smoothly from an engineering perspective. See you in Gliwice! Let's learn, grow, and connect!??????? #KolektywGliwice #Networking #ExperienceExchange #KnowledgeSharing

“Recordar é viver" - many lessons learned -entrepreneur & venture capitalist Beny Rubinstein, Eng., M.B.A., Ph.D. candidate ??recalls. Sometimes what has been tested in one venue returns with a new configuration under a different environment/time to sky rocket and flourish. One truth remains through it all: it is very difficult to thrive and create when we are hungry. Take a look at an accelerator project undertaken in Brazil with Microsoft underwriting. As Rubinstein describes it: “Acelera Partners (was) a "post-accelerator" (and micro-VC) as (they) were taking companies who had graduated from the best accelerators and still were not investible by Qualcomm Ventures and others....” So Acelera Partners was "connecting the dots" and preparing them with proper governance, scalable technology, and getting them on a track to be global.” Isn't this a brilliant idea! “MSFT, Qualcomm and other VCs will surely relate to the value of fostering an ecosystem that ignites entrepreneurial market value growth and viability,” says Rubinstein. Still! We haven’t yet gotten it quite right, have we? What are the fundamental ingredients required to build a thriving ecosystem for entrepreneurs? I love the sheer challenge of it!

Our last Accelerate-HQ event was nothing short of amazing! Seeing founders come together, share their journeys, and leave with actionable strategies to scale was truly inspiring. The passion, drive, and commitment in the room were unmatched. We helped unlock new revenue streams, build powerful connections, and set the stage for real growth – and we’re just getting started. I’m already looking forward to the next event, where we’ll push even further and reach new heights together. ??

Tonight, I’m attending the Founders Club, official How To Web side event, on the critical role of Go-To-Market (GTM) traction during the due diligence process. This topic isn't just relevant for investors or business leaders, it holds key insights for PR professionals, as well. Understanding how GTM traction shapes investment decisions provides valuable opportunities to align PR strategies with business growth objectives, enhancing brand visibility and supporting market positioning. GTM isn’t just about sales and marketing—it’s also about how well a company is positioned in the public eye. Investors are increasingly focusing on PR strategies to evaluate a company’s market traction and long-term growth potential. Here’s how PR can support key GTM factors: - Market Fit: PR validates market fit by promoting real-world use cases, engaging with relevant media, and collecting feedback that helps refine the company’s message to better connect with its target audience. - Customer Acquisition: Strategic PR campaigns build awareness and trust, leveraging media coverage, influencer partnerships, and thought leadership to drive potential customers toward acquisition channels. PR also helps build loyalty through customer testimonials and user-generated content. - Revenue Growth: Consistent PR efforts boost revenue by increasing brand visibility and credibility, driving more qualified leads to the business. PR can support key product launches or service updates that reinvigorate interest and fuel sales growth. - Competitive Positioning: PR positions the company as a leader through media appearances, expert commentary, and strategic storytelling, differentiating it from competitors and enhancing its presence in the market. - Scalability: As the business scales, PR ensures that the narrative evolves to meet the needs of a growing audience. It helps expand media outreach to new markets and supports smooth transitions as the company enters new sectors or regions. PR isn’t just about media coverage—it’s about creating long-term trust, visibility, and market presence that can make or break a deal. #FoundersClub #Bucharest #howtoweb

" Dreams aren't just visions, They're visions coupled to strategies for making them real." Quote by Astro Teller Captain of Moonshots at X...

We got on to the subject of setting moonshot OKRs and he mentioned this quote. I love it! Astro Teller hope you don't mind me using it at the beginning of all my OKR consultancy sessions with startups and scaleups - it truly sets the scene for strategy focused sessions!

“In both life and work, authenticity, not perfection, is what drives success.” Culturelytics founder, Yeshasvini Ramaswamy, was a keynote speaker at Kanban India’s 2024 premier global conference in Bengaluru, where she shared her insights on Building a Customer-Centric Culture for Business Agility. Given the fate of many unicorns, the focus has shifted to creating ’sUnicorns’ — startups that are not just successful but sustainable. If you want to build a business that stands the test of time, you must focus on empowering employees, encouraging cross-functional collaboration, and transparency. Important lesson for driving success in a world of constant change. https://lnkd.in/dSAiig72 #kin2024 #kanbanindia2024

A friend spoke with me. He joined a startup company a few years ago. The company has an ambitious winning aspiration. It aims to be the top 3 player in its industry within 3 years from its formation. But three years on, it has not made much progress with any meaningful outcomes. After some discussion, we noted that while the company has a business strategy, it does not have a clear strategy and plan for execution. When we look at the Chinese character 势(meaning trend or momentum, pronounced as shi), it contains two words: 执(meaning execution, pronounced as zhi) and 力 (meaning strength, pronounced as li). That means that to gain traction and results, having a winning aspiration is not enough. Ability to execute well is key (执行力). Strategy without effective execution is a mirage. Execution without strategy is a hobby. And strategy plus execution without purpose is a like a straw man without soul.
