My Startup Just Won £2.5k — Here’s How To Make A Killer Business In 6 Months
Underrated advice: Have an unofficial founder
You’ll need 106 things in order for your business to succeed.
I can’t list them all.
But here’s 3 ways I’ve built and positioned my business to win £2.5k.
Have an unofficial founder
I can’t believe how under talked about this one is.
You need someone who knows your problem inside and out.
That’s how you’ll build features others are missing, get your first 5 customers and actually get live feedback.
We were lucky to get a cafe owner to be our ‘unofficial founder’ whilst building our temperature logging app.
It was the biggest and best step we ever took, nurturing that relationship.
Have a kickass story — VCs love this
I don’t have enough experience with VCs.
I know I wanna become one. I know to avoid them if possible. But I’ve learnt after meeting one that they love stories.
