I came across an excellent post by Marina Shimono that I wanted to share with all my startup founder connections. For all my corporate innovators, it goes without saying that before diving into Pilot or POC processes, there exists a gap between awareness and action. The obvious first step toward a successful corporate-startup partnership is thoroughly analyzing and understanding the landscape to identify potential partners. KITE Scouting is here to help navigate that journey. Let’s connect and innovate together! 🚀 #CorporateInnovation #Partnerships #KITEScouting #InnovationManagement

Building a successful startup demands a solid foundation, and nothing is more essential than a clear understanding between co-founders. Common reasons for co-founder failure include unclear equity splits, poor communication, and assumed alignment on vision. When these aren't addressed, the whole venture suffers: decisions slow down, teams get divided, resources are wasted, and startups falter. To avoid this, it's vital to have transparent discussions, establish clear roles, and put agreements in writing from the start. Cohesion, respect, and aligned goals between co-founders not only strengthen the business but set the stage for resilient, efficient growth. #startup #cofounder #unprep

In my role as #technologyscout for digital startups, I am able to see first hand how a well managed startup corporate partnership looks like. These collaborations combine the agility and innovation of startups with the resources and market reach of corporates, creating a win-win situation for both. However, navigating these #partnerships can be a complex endeavor, requiring a strategic approach to ensure mutual success. This post is based on my experience mentoring two startups exploring collaborations with corporates, one in its early stages of getting a proof of concept set up, and the other in scaling these types of pilots to a long-term deal. If you have any stories and tips on the topic and are interested in benchmarking best practices, feel free to leave a comment or DM me for a chat! 🤝 💡 #corporateinnovation #corporatepartnerships #openinnovation

Once upon a time long long ago In startup land every startup fairytale would start like founders pitching pre-revenue dreams like they're selling golgappas! VCs nodding, discussing crore valuations over coffee , while founders perfect their startup lingo. What a beautiful world where a great idea was worth billions, even if it hasn't earned a paisa yet! Running on vibes and investor funds. Pre-revenue? More like pre-legendary! Turning dreams into reality… one burn rate at a time was once the mantra Because Rome wasn't built on revenue either. #StartUpDreams #PreRevenueHustle #startupstories #DesiStartupHustle #PreRevenueSapne #VCGolgappas

Why is cash flow for startups so important? The #1 reason why a startup fails is because they run out of cash. Earlier this week, Irene de Gooyer-Collins, CPA, CMA, our CFO, CPG Strategy at Growth Partners hosted a workshop on Cash Flow for Startups at Futurpreneur’s 2024 Growth Accelerator. She mentioned 3 reasons why every startup should learn how to do cash flow. These included: 1️⃣ Helping them make informed decisions vs guessing 2️⃣ Empowering them to problem solve strategically 3️⃣ Enabling them to assess opportunities Learning how to do a cash flow, gives founders control AND helps them sleep better at night. Thank you, Futurpreneur, for hosting Growth Partners and giving us the opportunity to explain the importance of cash flow. #StartupCommunity #StartupEvent #StartupGrowth #StartupFinance #StartupGrowth
