Horizon37

On Tuesday evening Future Planet Capital in partnership with Horizon37 hosted their annual Portfolio Networking Event, kickstarting 2025 with Impact. This year's theme was 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐛𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧: 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. The evening included Katy's interactive session which helped identify critical gaps and gain the most value from your network. It was great to see our portfolio leaders ranging from Seed to Series C, connect and spark meaningful connections. Horizon37 also announced their cross-business leadership coaching programme “Transform Together”, opening its doors for the 5th consecutive year! We look forward to seeing the continued growth of our portfolio companies and strengthening networks all round. Together, we can connect the biggest investors to the brightest minds, to help solve global challenges, profitably.

Last night, in a room full of startup CEOs and team members from Future Planet Capital, one theme arose: leadership at the top can be isolating. The weight of decisions, the pressure from investors, the responsibility for the team—it’s a lot. But the best founders know they don’t have to go it alone. At Horizon37 , we see time and again that CEOs who invest in coaching and peer support make better decisions, move faster, and avoid burnout. Because great leadership isn’t just about resilience—it’s about resourcefulness. Alex at Future Planet Capital/ UK Innovation & Science Seed Fund [UKI2S] captured it perfectly in this post.👇 Who’s in your corner? #Leadership #StartupLife #FounderJourney

For the scale-ups we partner with, fundraising success hinges on more than just passion and dedication. Clearly defined roles within your team are paramount. Here's why: 1.

This clarity facilitates seamless collaboration, allowing the team to work efficiently towards shared goals. (neonone.com) 2. Increased Accountability 📊 Clear role definitions set explicit expectations, making it easier to track progress and hold individuals accountable. This accountability fosters a sense of ownership, motivating team members to perform at their best. (donorsearch.net) 3. Optimised Team Performance 🚀 By delineating roles, teams can leverage individual strengths, ensuring that each aspect of the fundraising strategy is handled by the most qualified person. This strategic alignment boosts overall performance and increases the likelihood of achieving fundraising targets.

🏢 Leadership in Established Businesses: Breaking Through the Plateau For established businesses, staying ahead means navigating a delicate balance: - How do you drive innovation while preserving stability? - How do you energize leadership teams to think boldly without creating unnecessary risk? One powerful insight we’ve seen in our work is this: Leadership transformation isn’t about changing everything—it’s about focusing on what matters most. Here are practical ways to start: ☑️ Energize your leadership team—challenge them with bold, strategic questions that ignite fresh thinking. ☑️ Encourage entrepreneurial mindsets—give space for calculated risks and experimentation within a structured framework. ☑️ Clarify decision-making processes—ensure alignment across the leadership team to avoid delays and missed opportunities. ☑️ Cultivate a culture of ownership—empower teams to act with confidence, knowing they’re supported from the top. 💡 Established businesses don’t need to think like startups—they need to act strategically with the wisdom they’ve built. 👉 Explore more actionable insights in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/emFy9u3Y 💬 What’s one leadership habit your business could improve to unlock new growth?
