What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?
Frustrating: how long it takes for good startups to raise funding when they should be spending time on growing their business. Let's change the landscape and get these companies funded faster!
Rewarding: when we hear about Angeloop helping another out.
Entrepreneurs fail to keep their investors updated on progress, problems and funding, making it harder to raise again and get help from them!
Follow Lean principles, simplify your initial product and try not to waste resources from day 1.
Before doing anything, find your customer, get to know them and make sure you can love them!
Look after the cashflow.
As Technical Co-founder, I oversee Operations and the Technical areas of the company. As part of a highly opinionated and proactive founding team, we all give input on Strategy, Short Term Growth Tactics, Product Design (based on Customer Development).
We're changing how startups interact with investors, making the ecosystem clearer and more efficient. Now, investors can understand how their startups are progressing at all times.
Angeloop is competing in the Splash Spring. The top eight of the competition will compete live on stage at Splash Spring on May 12 at Scottish Rite Center, Oakland. Register here.
