Sitting in the cockpit, ready to take off, there’s always a mix of excitement and nerves. It’s a reminder of what it feels like to start something new—like launching a startup. Before takeoff: ✅ You check every instrument (your business plan). ✅ You calculate the runway (your resources and team). ✅ And you trust the process (your vision). Then comes the moment—you push the throttle, commit to the journey, and lift off, leaving doubt behind. Every startup, like every flight, starts with a leap of faith backed by preparation. Watch this clip of me taking off—it’s a moment I’ll never forget, and a reminder that with focus and determination, we can reach new heights. What’s your version of “taking off”? I’d love to hear how you’ve launched something that inspired you! #Startups #Entrepreneurship #Inspiration #TakeOff

Why 90% of the startup founders face the growth problem in their startup Journey? Here is my take on this : 90% of founders don’t have a product problem—they have a distribution problem. Your startup isn’t gaining traction, so you pivot your features, when in reality, it’s your growth strategy that’s the issue. Too many founders abandon amazing products, thinking they’ve failed. But here’s the hard truth: The real problem is that they haven’t unlocked the right growth channel. The startup graveyard is full of great products that were this close to taking off but didn’t figure out how to scale. Don’t let your startup be one of them. Focus on distribution just as much as the product. #StartupLife #GrowthMindset #DistributionFirst #Entrepreneurship #FoundersJourney #GoToMarket #ScalingStartups #GrowthHacking #ProductMarketFit #Resilience

Startups are a journey—not a destination. Many people think that startups are quick, and that success happens overnight. But that’s not the case. It’s a marathon, often without an end in sight. It takes a long time to build something meaningful. So in the meantime: * Enjoy the process of building. * Go on holiday. * Invest in relationships. * Take care of your body (and your mind). You’ll burn out if you focus on your startup at the expense of everything else in your life. Remember, a balanced life fuels long-term success. #Startups #JourneyNotDestination #WorkLifeBalance #Entrepreneurship #StartupLife #TRIOTech

Stuck? Overwhelmed? Defeated? Great. You’re exactly where you should be. That's what starting up feels like. [Image: The Startup Curve graphic by Paul Graham] The glamour is only on the surface. Here’s what most won’t tell you about the #founder journey: 1️⃣ The hype will fade fast—your product’s real value is all that matters. 2️⃣ The toughest moments are where successful startups are made. 3️⃣ Iterating through tiny improvements might feel slow, but it’s the only way forward. The Promised Land is real, but only for those who push through the doubt, pivots, and false hope. If you’re in the grind right now, know this: you’re not alone. What stage of the curve are you in?

Let's be real, startups change WAY too fast to have traditional strategic planning tools make any sense. So how do we get those beautiful benefits - focus, alignment, and prioritization - without the ridiculous overhead? 🤔 It's all about the Quarters. 🪙 Go super lightweight on the long term plans and invest the precious planning moments you have on making the all functional leads know the company direction for the quarter and have their own aligned plan. Then, host a conversation where cross-dept plans are shared so we can refine any edges necessary to be able to execute a powerful quarter, together. #startups #strategicplanning #entrepreneur #startuplife #startupCOO #strategy #startupstrategist

Every startup has a story. The problem is, many never tell it. When I meet startup founders, they often dive straight into their product features. But here’s the truth: people don’t buy features; they buy emotions, connections, and visions. Great storytelling transforms your brand into something unforgettable. Share your “why.” Talk about the sleepless nights, the obstacles, and the victories. These are the moments that resonate with your audience and make your brand stand out. Remember, your product gets people in the door. Your story keeps them coming back. . . #Startups #Entrepreneurship #TechInnovation #BrandingTips #linkedin #TechForStartups #jaytapadia

I think the idea that for a startup to succeed you need to burn all bridges rests on the assumption that lack of engagement is your biggest problem. I don't think this is true. Most startups fail, because they did not address a need for a customer. Often startups fail before they have even talked to a single customer. In the early days of a startup, you don't need a lot of money - what you need is the ability to reach out to your target customer and to listen to their problems. Next you distill a problem statement and a value proposition. Go back to your customers and validate. Iterate until you have something that they approve. Only then do you start to build something. It's all in "The Lean Startup" or Bill Aulet's excellent book "Disciplined Entrepreneurship". You don't need to burn bridges before you are sure you're onto something. #startup #entrepreneurship #motivation #valueproposition

Building a startup is tough—but falling for common myths can make it even harder. Here’s what people usually get wrong about startups—and what actually works.👇 1/ You need a revolutionary idea to succeed. Reality: Incremental innovation often beats big ideas. 2/ Your product is your business. Reality: Your business is about your customers, not just your product. 3/ You must be in the market first to win. Reality: Being first doesn’t guarantee success—execution does. 4/ More funding means guaranteed success. Reality: Excess funding can lead to waste if mismanaged. 5/ You must do it all yourself. Reality: Collaboration and mentorship accelerate growth. Don’t fall for these startup myths! Focus on what truly works to grow your business. Which of these myths did you believe before?
