As an entrepreneur, you face thousands of micro-decisions every day, and a few of them will be pivotal for your business and future. But how do you cut through the noise? 😨 Having completed the Fellowship program with Transcend Network, I can confidently say that my decision to join an #EdTech accelerator instead of a VC/equity-based program was the right one for Olivya. As a founder, my primary goal is to accelerate our path to #ProductMarketFit. Money alone won’t achieve this; what really helps in the early stage is #KNOWLEDGE and #NETWORK. Through the program, I could finally #FOCUS 🎯 Focus on understanding my #IdealCustomerProfile (ICP). Through the weekly experiments I’ve conducted over the past months, I’ve identified our strong segment, achieving 60-90% sign-up conversion from our landing page and 12% CTR from our posts. 🔴🔵 Focus on one side of the business: #B2B or #B2C? Olivya’s ethos is rooted in serving all #professionals, not managers only. Thus, we are concentrating on #B2C, leveraging our team's extensive experience building and scaling B2C products. 🤝 Focus on connecting with the people who can bring us closer to our key customers and profitability. Big thanks to Alberto Arenaza and Michael Narea for creating the Fellowship. Thanks for all the insights shared💡 —Laura Wells James Pursey Mica Vaipan Emil Palikot Luciana Caletti Maxime Coléon Leap Sok Grant Wootten 💰Focus on the right type of #funding. Instead of defaulting to the pursuit of VC money, we chose to #bootstrap until we build full confidence in our ICP and offering (we’re getting close!). 🪽We are connecting with #EdTechAngels and #GamingAngels who want to accelerate our mission to empower millions of professionals to self-improve. Our team is fully committed to building a #sustainable, #profitable, #customervalue-driven business, by working in the way we believe and love. 💌 DM or email. Let's connect: info@olivya.ai

Here's my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind, by Coauthor.studio: 2024: The Year Digital Transformation Became About Building Platforms, Not Just Implementing Technologies, but also, working in a culture transformation inside of company. When OdontoCompany needed to revolutionize our franchise management system, we didn't just upgrade – we created OdontocompanySys, a platform that will transform operations across 1,700 units. This wasn't just a tech project; it was about empowering our entire franchise ecosystem. This project will change the customer experience dramatically. Key Moments That Redefined My Journey: • Recognized as one of the 50+ Top Executives in Innovation and Technology by 7th Experience Executive Club – a validation that real leadership means creating opportunities, not just managing processes. • Launched my angel investor journey with Eego Digital, an StartUp focused into Digital Marketing for Education workspace, expanding my impact beyond operational excellence into nurturing emerging tech talents. • Completed the C2T - Governance & Technology program, reinforcing that continuous learning is the true engine of innovation. 1. "Starting as Angel Investor" Expanding technological impact through direct investment 2. "Top 50+ Innovation Executives" Industry recognition of our commitment to digital transformation https://lnkd.in/dpaSUJmH 3. "IT Forum 2024 Participation" Building bridges between technology leaders and fostering collaborative innovation https://lnkd.in/dByXV-Ei Moments like implementing Freshworks at OdontoCompany – handling 10,000 monthly support calls across our franchise network – showed me that true digital transformation isn't about technology, but about creating systems that empower people. Consolidating Monday.com as a platform to Odontocompany Franchising, adding Artificial Inteligence, powered by Alest Consultoria. Looking ahead to 2025: I'm committed to accelerating digital innovation in healthcare and beyond. My focus? Transforming technological potential into tangible growth platforms, mentoring the next generation of tech leaders who understand that results don't just enter through the window – they're built, step by step. To my OdontoCompany team, the incredible tech community, and emerging entrepreneurs: thank you for making this journey extraordinary. #Governança #Inovação #ResultadoNãoEntraPelaJanela #DigitalTransformation #TechLeadership #LinkedInRewind #Coauthor #2024wrapped

As 2024 draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on what has been nothing short of a rollercoaster year for GrowthCanvas. Since launching the platform in January, this journey has been filled with challenges, learning, and above all, incredible milestones that I’m deeply grateful for. What started as an idea to transform how business support is delivered has grown into something far bigger than I could have imagined. In just 12 months, GrowthCanvas has been adopted by numerous local councils and organisations across the UK, including the West Midlands Combined Authority, Swindon and Wiltshire Growth Hub, Oxford Innovation Advice , Coventry and Warwickshire Growth Hub, Business Growth West Midlands and many others. These partnerships are a testament to the value we’ve created together and the shared belief in the power of innovation to drive meaningful change. To everyone who has been part of this journey, whether as a client, partner, supporter, or team member, thank you. Your trust, feedback, and encouragement have been invaluable in shaping GrowthCanvas. Looking ahead, 2025 promises to be another transformative year. I have some exciting announcements on the horizon that I can’t wait to share, as well as ambitious plans to further expand the reach and impact of GrowthCanvas. For now, I’m taking a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate what I’ve managed to achieve this year - which wouldn't have been possible without everyone who has supported and cheered me on for the last 12 months. Wishing you all a peaceful holiday season and a fantastic start to the new year! Here’s to continued growth, innovation, and success in 2025. 🚀 #GrowthCanvas #EndOfYearReflection #BusinessSupport #Innovation #AI #Gratitude #OnwardsAndUpwards #SmallBusiness #Entrepreneurship
