🚀 #Infographic: Boast's 2024 State of R&D Benchmark Report 65% of the more than 500 CxOs polled as part of Boast's annual R&D Benchmark Survey flagged #inflation and increasing costs as their top concern heading into 2025. At the same time, the share of executives tapping into #innovation #taxcredits and #grants sank year-over-year, with teams relying on credit and working capital instead to fund product development—and missing out on opportunities for #growth in the process. We break down some of the key findings, analysis, and ways for teams to diversify their #capitalstrategy and enhance their innovation runway for 2025 in this infographic: https://lnkd.in/ePKTfGNm #taxcredits #research #development #sred #CXO #CEO #CFO #CTO

This afternoon, OneEleven had the pleasure of hosting Executiv Women's Leadership Network. Clearly, this is something that is relevant to me personally, and I was so inspired listening to the six women on stage. I kept thinking, THIS is the kind of person I want to be! A few tidbits that are swirling around in my mind from the first panel discussion. 💪 Empowered women empower women. Yes, yes! ("yes, yes!" credit goes to Jahnavi Yadav) 🤔 As you step into higher roles, don't do things the same way as you did in your previous roles. You are expected to think differently as you advance in your career. 🙅♀️ DON'T WAIT to be fully ready to make your next career move. How can you be fully read if you've never done the job before. Thank you to our member company, Boast, for bringing this wonderful group of people, their achievements, and stories into our space!

As Sydney Wong, MBA explains, there has never been an easier or more competitive time to build a #tech #startup. While #artificialintelligence has helped "level the playing field," it’s also introduced more risk than ever that the #investor community keeps an eye on as they target the best #funding and #growth opportunities. In the latest episode of Boast's 🎙️ What The Tech 🎙️ #podcast, Sydney joins Paul Davenport to chat through the realities of building (and funding) #innovation as 2025 approaches. https://lnkd.in/ee34P_vk

🚀 As a #CTO pivotal in building their business and product, Ve Sharma of Adauris knew that tackling #SRED #taxcredit claims could be painful for a first-time #founder. ⏳ Beyond the “gotchas,” there are plenty of horror stories around the #startup ecosystem of tax credit claims gone wrong, and dozens—if not hundreds—of hours sank with little success. 🌅 There was also a flip side to those SR&ED horror stories, and that was Boast, as other #entrepreneurs and #founders across Ve’s network all had a smooth and seamless experience working with our team to maximize their R&D tax credit claims. With unmatched #tech and #tax expertise and our experience building fast-growth businesses, Boast is the perfect partner for entrepreneurs like Ve.
