Starting a tech company is no easy ride, right? It’s exciting, but let’s be honest—there are ups and downs. At epicX, I’ve been there—when things didn’t go as planned. But here’s the truth: 90% of startups fail,  It’s not usually because the idea wasn’t great—it’s because founders couldn’t adapt or keep up with the pace of change. Standing still isn't an option in tech, where competition is fierce and constantly evolving. What I’ve learned? Resilience is key. You’ll face tough choices and unexpected competition, but the ones who make it are those who keep going, learning, and pushing forward. So, keep moving. Even on the hardest days, you’re building something amazing #motivation #hustle #keeppushing #startups #success

In the Lab to Market journey, there are 3 main phases. The first phase extends from Research through to the end of Prototype (TRL 1 - end of 5). Here, the focus is on 'defining a solution'. The second phase extends from Pilot through to the middle of F.O.A.K. (TRL 6 - middle of 8). Here, the focus is on 'scaling the solution'. Finally, the third phase picks up from the middle of F.O.A.K. and goes through to full market deployment (TRL 8 - 9+). Here, the focus is on 'commercialising the solution'. Each phase is unique and guided by very specific goals, challenges and milestones. And not surprisingly, each phase requires specific skills and talents. Getting the skill and talent profiles right is half the battle when building Lab to Market teams. #deeptech #hardtech #startups

What is "Scalability" & why does it matter for startups? Alright, let me break this down for you. Scalability = potential to massively grow with minimal added costs. Think of it as how easy or hard it might be. For big growth after product market fit is achieved. Serving more customers & keeping costs relatively fixed. Highly scalable startups are the ones that get venture-backed. - Prioritize low marginal costs of growth - Automate & optimize operational efficiency - Remove potential bottlenecks to scaling Software startups are generally very scalable. Since each new user virtually costs nothing to serve. It's tempting to optimize for early profitability over scalability. The most valuable companies are built around models that can scale massively. Investors will hesitate to invest in a startup that lacks a clear path to scalability & defensible growth. #Startups #innovation #scalability  

Running a dev team isn’t cheap—$30-50K a month, $500k+ a year for just 7-10 people (Europe/MENAPT). Now, imagine sinking that into a project that never delivers. For startups, that’s game over. For larger companies, it often slips through the cracks as "R&D." Here’s the bigger problem: inefficiency isn’t just a budget problem—it’s a growth problem. Whether you're a scrappy startup or a corporate giant, every dollar wasted on dead-end projects is a dollar that could’ve driven real impact. The solution? Build fast feedback loops. Test quickly, kill what doesn’t work, and double down on what does. It’s not about avoiding failure; it’s about failing fast (maybe) and failing cheap (definitely). That’s how you keep your dev budget working for you—not against you. What’s your strategy for spotting and shutting down waste? #engineering #product #feedback #startups #growth

First time founders: product is everything. Second time founders: distribution is everything. Third time founders: capitalization is everything. Serial entrepreneurs: team is everything.

How does the startup's product, service, or tech perform, today? Alignment and potential are great for long-term investors, but enterprise organizations seeking commercial partnerships need to go one step further to validate the startup’s current offering: is the startup post-product? Does its product, service or tech work? This may seem obvious, but the opposite happens more than you might think.
